Holy Shnike!
So, my husband and I talked about my car fiasco last night and agreed that we should have the car towed home and put off the repairs until we can save up the 4000. We have two other cars I can drive, so it’s not a really big deal…just a lot of money. So, I call Midas this morning to let them know that I would be towing the car back home and we would take care of the repairs at a later date. Well, Jon, the ultra nice guy at Midas, tells me that I wouldn’t be paying for the repairs. I said “What?” He said, “You don’t have to pay for the repairs, Big O Tires does.” I was like, “What?” He said, “The front tires they installed are not the same, one is 2 sizes too big and it caused all this damage. I’ve done the research and looked everything up and they are responsible, so you aren’t paying for this repair, they are.” I was totally stunned. I had spent yesterday in tears and I was so stressed out trying to figure out what to do, and trying to think of what I had done to destroy my front end. I don’t drive rough, the car is a 2004 and it just didn’t make sense. The relief was palatable. I called Big O and they were understanding and very surprised that they could have screwed up like that. I was surprised too, since I have been going to them for years, and they are great! So, Monday I should have a better idea of what is going on, Midas and Big O are working together to get this handled, and I am so thankful to God for being there for me and my husband for holding me almost all evening when I was freaking out.
Now, I get to go to my nieces’ wedding and see my family. I am really excited.
Also…hold on to your tits… my mom called me yesterday. My mom called me! For those of you who don’t know the history of this, we haven’t spoken in over 2 years. It was a stupid argument, as it usually is, and we let it go too far. She was being stubborn and I refused to stand down. My little sister has been calling her every day telling her to swallow her pride and call me, and she did. It was wonderful!!! I can’t wait to see her next month!
I have found my happy place again, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how I misplaced it.
