Good Friends

 Yesterday was another one that didn't go as planned.

Almost a month ago, we accidentally left our dome light on in the Outback. Oops. We were able to jump it, but it was a little funky.

Two weeks ago, we got the battery tested and it definitely needed replaced. Oops. Of course it happened on a weekend, so we just went to AutoZone to replace it.

Saturday, I was driving home and all the lights on dash lit up. Not great. It was driving fine, though. So, Monday morning I took it to a local shop. They found a loose wire on the battery, which cleared out the codes and we thought we were good.

Until I got gas yesterday and the car wouldn't start after. I had Issa in the car, and we were headed to pick up one of her dance friends for a team meeting. I texted another dance mom, who went to get the friend, and thankfully I finally got it started and got Issa to the meeting.

We just kept it running and Brad took it straight to the dealership. We are waiting to hear from them, but we have figured out how to be a one car family for the next few days.

We are also grateful for great friends. One friend brought Issa home from the meeting so we could drop the car off. Another heard about it and texted to offer help the rest of the week if we need it. I love our little village, and although yesterday was not fun, it was a great reminder of how very lucky we are.
