Another day without my truck

Well, "Ol Blue" is now at the muffler shop.  We picked it up this morning from the garage and dropped it off again.  They said it will be done by the end of the day.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!  I hate being without a ride.  Thank God the truck is paid for or else the $1,100 repair bill would have killed me.  Believe me, it hurt. . .badly, to write that check, but if I had to send a car payment in this month too!  Oh boy.  The muffler shop bill should be under $120, so we were happy about that.  They are replacing the whole muffler system. 

In other news. . .the well pump was repaired and we now have water again.  We need a new pool filter and the pool should be good to go.  The painter is almost finished painting the outside of the house and it is looking great. And lastly we have one panel of screen loose in the pool enclosure, so that has to be fixed as soon as the screen guys can come out.  They are looking at about 8 to 10 weeks before they can come out.  After 3 hurricanes hit our area last fall, the screen companies have been booked solid for months in advance.  It took 5 months to get our screens replaced after loosing 1/2 of them in the storms, and now one is loose.  Give me a break!!  It's a good thing I have a decent paycheck coming in now!

Well, I didn't mean for this to be a griping session, but I want you all to know what's going on in my world.  Happy Friday to you all, have a wonderful weekend.

I bet you will be so happy to have your truck back.  I hate when my car has to go to the garage and I have to ask people to take me places.  I just hate that.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Angel
