Car / money stuff.  😳

I had money put back to shave Nappy because she DESPERATELY needs a haircut... but then my cars broke down and I didn't have a way to get her to the groomer.  So, that sucked.

I went to CarQuest today to pick up a new alternator for my Hyundai since it is under warranty.  I took them back my old one and the lady tested it and said it was fine.  She is thinking that there is some connection or grounding issue, or maybe that the belt tensioner is the problem.  So.  😕

While I was there I mentioned the problem with my Kia and she told me and Shaun to try to jump it and get it to the store so she could do a test on it, too.  Let me just pause here and say that they close at 7, we showed up at 6:50 to get the alternator (not intentionally), and she was STILL super nice and willing to help me.  She told us to call her if we got it running and were coming by.  So, we headed over to the recycle bins where I left it.

I really didn't think that my Kia needed jumping... I was thinking that the starter might have gone out or something.  So we got there and I tried to crank it and it cranked.  😳  I did the exact same thing last night and it wouldn't.  So what the hell, right?

Shaun called her and told her we were on our way, so she waited at the store for us and tested my battery when I got there.  She said that I had a dead cell.  So, I spent my dog-shaving money on a battery.  On the bright side my Kia is running - for the moment.  I am not going to get entirely too comfortable with that idea, though, because I have been stranded... well, I honestly don't know how many times over the last few weeks.  🙁

Since this week is about halfway over and Thanksgiving is coming and Friday is crazy day and all of that I think I will just call tomorrow and try to get Nappy a hair appointment for Monday, if at all possible.  Or maybe I'll consider having it done on Friday because I will have some money then and I don't want to make her wait.  Poor girl can't see a thing and with all this rain she is like having a wet dog flavored mop dripping all over the house.  LOL
