As you can see, this is going to be a good news post but I thought I’d start by telling you about how my day started out terrible, no good.

I went to bed last night not feeling well but woke up feeling better. I ate breakfast, took Vic to school for her last sectional before UIL tonight, then went on to work.

My mp3 player died after about twenty minutes and I got to feeling bad again. I asked if I could go home at 11 if I didn’t start feeling better, that way I wouldn’t lose any hours/pay for the week. Obviously I got to feeling better since I'm not posting this at 11am.

Then, KIA called and said that after giving the car a thorough check the cost of repairs comes to $3800+. I called my father and asked if the offer to buy me a new car was still on the table and he said he doesn’t know. KIA was able to cancel the order for the transmission, thank God! But I still owe them for the diagnostic, the oil change and the tow. But it’s much less than $3800! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my parents will help me buy a car because it’ll cost less in the long run.

Dad called a bit after 2 and I’m getting a new car! Hoping for a brand new one but am willing to take one that’s just a few years old. I’d like to get a KIA Rio, that’s what the rental is and I really like it, and so asked the service guy to give my number to one of the salesmen so we can talk owner loyalty and things like that.
