And the van is at the garage
And he called me to tell me that I had a nail in one tire and it would need to be repaired.
Okay, here is the conversation pretty much as I remember it:
"Hello?" I said with trepidation as we have caller ID so I knew it was the garage.
"Hi! Bill here!"
"HI! I take it you got my van!?"
"Yes I did and you have a nail in the front right tire, did you know that?"
"No, I did not, didn't even notice it was flat when I went out this morning to leave the key in it for the tow truck."
"You didn't notice it?"
"I don't usually look at those things honestly."
"Well my guy wanted to know if he should fix it right away but I told him to wait until we talked about the rest of the van but you probably would want if fixed since those are new tires."
"Oh yeah, we just got those from you."
"So do you want to hear the rest of the news?"
"I don't know, do I?" I said with even more trepidation.
"Well, the tow cost $49 and it is a cracked axle. The part for that is ........" (I honestly didn't hear a lot after this because I was so thrilled that it wasn't the transmission which could have been $2000 easily.) "and labor will be $59.45 so your total will be $279.45, you want us to go ahead and fix it?"
"YES!!!!!" I practically shouted into the phone. You cannot begin to imagine the relief I felt as I listened to him talk. Unreal relief. I had enough money coming tomorrow to pay up the mortgage, fix BOTH cars, catch up or pay off a few other bills AND have some left over to help until I could find a job, which I really didn't want to do until after school was out so this works out very well in the end. Maybe God was listening this time, who knows but I do know that a tremendous weight has been lifted off my chest.
Friday I go for an evaluation at the Counseling services and hopefully finally get the right diagnose when it comes to my mental state. Tomorrow Melissa gets her eyes checked to see if she might need reading glasses and next week I take to the doctor at the counseling place about her meds. They make her sleepy all the time, that just won't work especially when it comes to school and if she's going to be helping out this summer watching James while I'm working.
So right now, things are going better. Life is slowly getting back to some sense of normal, if there is such a thing as normal and starting to calm down again.
Oh and I talked to the brother of the woman who was bugging me, he tried telling me I had to deal with her. I let him know that was not an option since she would not even talk to me that he had to talk to her. I remained amazingly calm during the entire conversation and finally let him know that if she didn't quit causing trouble every single time she came down here that I was going to halt any and all work on the outside of the house, little as it is right now and would be sorely tempted to find some really bright neon colors to paint it with. We are the ones who live here and have to get along, not her and it's his responsiblity to make sure she understands that, not mine. He was really listening to me at that point.

I would never do it but he doesn't know that
