One heck of a day...part 2 and 3

Oh wow! It has been a crazy few days. Let me tell you what else happened. Eric (Annie's husband) and a friend came over yesterday morning to jump the car. It started right up and they drove it around for about thirty minutes and then brought it to my work. So I get off work, get in the car, and it doesn't start again. Okay. I walk over to Firestone since it is very near and ask them if they can go to my car. Apparently they don't go to cars, the cars come to them. They said I needed to find someone to jump it and then I can take it in to get a new battery. One of the people I work with, her husband tried to jump it for over thirty minutes and it wouldn't start. I call Firestone again and they must have felt bad for me because they made an exception and came to my rescue. Although it didn't work. They tested the battery and it was dead. I went back to Firestone and bought a battery. The guy installed it in the parking lot of my work. I tried to start it once again, and what do you know! It didn't start again. This is now two hours after I got off work. One of my co-workers gave me a ride home.

Early this morning I called a tow truck and Nissan. I had to walk from one end of the base to the other side to meet the tow truck. Got the car towed and taken to Nissan. I don't know what was wrong with the car BUT everything was covered under the warranty including getting the car towed. After that I went to work. I'm exhausted from the past few days and even though it's early, I'm ready for bed!

Andy says he's really proud of me for getting everything taken care of. I had a lot of nice people help me out and without them I'm sure it would have been worse. Andy told me not to get used to doing all that stuff because he likes taking care of it. He likes taking care of me =)
