When it rains,it pours! I had gone to Safeway to procure lettuce and chicken and burger meat and a few diet cokes...sat in the car for a while talking to the sponsor. Key in ignition. No dice. Try key again. No action. OH NO! DANGER WILL ROBINSON--DANGER!
Surprisingly I stayed calm without Klonopin. Called the roadside assistance. Waited. Went into Safeway to use the potty. Called the Honda service people and said I was comin in. They had a shuttle which could take me home. I started freaking inside. I wasn't freaking about the money, the stress, the car...I was freaking because how was I gonna get my diet coke and latte tomorrow and oh my god I think I'm running out of cigs.
Back into Safeway. Whew! Stock up on diet coke and buy some cigs. Ok, I'm good now.
Then a funny thing happened as my chicken and lettuce were nearing the point of needing refrigeration badly: this dude on a motorcycle rides up and says, "Ma'am did you need a jump?. I said are the jumper guy? He said, ya. I'm curious--where's your truck? He said he does it with his bike. Ok, whatever...and he pulled out this little contraption and jumped my decrepid car battery and off I went."
Straight to the drive thru to get my last diet coke.
MY routine everyday is to go to Starbucks - get latte. Go to Burger King -- get diet coke. Go to Jack in the Box -- get diet coke. Those are my staples. Those are my "must-do's". So, being with out a vehicle is a strange trip indeed.
By the way, three numbers: 3 7 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\
Oh ya, the car bill is 2200 smackers!
