Good...

I made a 95 on the final exam of my second real estate class, Finance. Two down, four to go.

Bad…

My car battery died in the parking lot of the real estate school while I was taking my test. 

Good…

One of my classmates had jumper cables!

Bad…

Tom can tell that the problem isn't the battery. It's my car.

Not a good thing at all, when I need to be driving to work and class almost every day for the next few weeks, with (hallelujah!) a Diva gathering in Houston one weekend in the middle of it all. I can NOT miss that!

(Please, God, don't make me miss that!)

Good…

This sunset followed me home, and stuck around long enough for me to grab my camera. 

 


Sunset july 11 13-32

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky.

    The good news is: I think you have that 10 year warranty, right? I hope it’s covered and I hope it’s a quick fix! 🙂

    We should have a warranty on the battery…but it's acting flaky with two different batteries now. Not good!

    The battery is holding a charge now. We have yet another car mystery on our hands!

    Congrats on your wonderful marks, Barbara. I sure hope the car holds out for you. Keep some cables on you from here on in and hope for the best.

    I've got the cables and was grateful for them the other day when it wouldn't start after work! Once it was started, I went straight to Autozone and bought a brand new battery, but I'm keeping the cables!
