I hate car problems

So Freddie and I went to Austin last night, after Rose and I got back from Austin (she got the job at Ben White, which is good). Dropped him off at Posse East with Laurin and Suzie, then went to go play DDR.

Except my car wouldn't start. Terrific.

Played around with it for a while, tried to jump it, had some girl look at it, but eventually, had to leave her there. I called Jarrod, who was kind enough to come and get Freddie and me and take us home. Left Chelsea there, all by her lonesome, in a 7 am - 7 pm parking area.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I was originally scheduled 5 - C tonight, but Dave called and got me to take a 11 2 shift as well? Yeah.

Mom called a mobile mechanic, and we agreed to show up at my truck 'bout 10. Janelle was kind enough to give me a ride, but she was more than a little unhappy about it. I fell asleep on the ride there, and she passed our exit. Went about 10 miles north, no less. She thought I was still awake. Hilarious. I wake up, realize that we're way too far north, and have her turn around. *Finally* get there around 10:30; he was getting ready to take off - not that I blame him, of course.

It was my starter/solenoid (again!!!), which were replaced fairly easy, although Janelle did have to take me to a nearby O'Reily's twice for parts. The starter was replaced for free, but had to buy a solenoid; going to go by Carquest and see if I can get a refund on my earlier solenoid, which was only purchased about eight days ago. All in all, they just dropped the starter and solenoid and put new ones on there.

Total cost? $135.00.

Ouch.

I'm fairly broke right now; I do have some money coming in, though - class refund, half reimbursement from Mom, twenty from Freddie. Talked to Terri - that's not coming back at all. I should have known.
