This morning started out with Music Man taking our poor beat up truck to the shop. Yep, it was breaking down again. When he spoke to them yesterday they said it sounded like the starter. So he'd bought a starter, they were going to squeeze him in. It was going to be fine.
Meanwhile I had a doctor's appointment and Miss Goofy had to go to work. So the Cranky Old Man agreed to be our chauffeur for the morning. Oh and he was going to pick up Music Man from the shop.
Music Man texted me and told me, it's not the starter, its the key. This truck is barely old enough to have a key with a chip in it, but it is old enough. So he was heading down the mountain, to the east this time, to a dealership to get a new key. No problem.
Miss Goofy, the Cranky Old Man, and I head out. They drop me off at the doctor's office, Miss Goofy goes to work and Cranky heads home to wait for anyone who might need a ride.
I got to have a "Well Woman Exam", which means a breast exam, a pap smear, and oh my Bob, I'm still hurting from the pap smear. I've done well with those. I also learned that I'm anemic, which I've been before so it wasn't a huge shock and my triglycerides are high, which they've been high before so I'm not surprised. Otherwise everything looks good. No infections, no other issues.
That said, my doctor was concerned about the anemia, since it's iron deficiency anemia. So, I get to have an upper GI done. Which works out well, cause I also need to have a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer cause my dad died very young of colon cancer. Thank you to the military for all that Agent Orange poisoning.
So I called Music Man figuring he should be home, but no he's still at the dealership, waiting on the new key. Okay, no problem. I call Cranky. Who comes and picks me up and we head home. I wasn't home long when Music Man calls to tell me the dealership is saying the starter on the truck is bad. Very long story short, Cranky and I fly down the mountain to find out what the smurf the dealership is trying to pull cause Music Man was too upset to articulate it in a coherent fashion.
Somehow, the truck's starter, which was fine just a few hours earlier, went from fine to needing to be replaced. Not in the time it took to drive it from the shop to the dealership, cause it was fine when he got to the dealership. It started when they moved it into the dealership's shop. Not it died after they programmed the new key. Which the guy swore to me, programmed correctly.
We think they screwed up the anti-theft system. So, we'll try to fix it on Monday. But for the weekend, we have no vehicle. So much fun.
We finally get Music Man, Cranky, and myself back up our mountain and go have lunch, cause at this point it's 2 in the afternoon. I haven't eaten all day, Music Man hasn't eaten all day, I think Cranky had breakfast but it had been quite a while. We talked over lunch about what to do, eventually deciding to sleep on it and decide on Monday.
Cranky went and picked up Miss Goofy from work. She got home, walked in the door, looked at me and said, "The store manager got fired this afternoon."
So we talked over dinner about what that means and what she should do to maintain her job.
It's been a long day and that's why I haven't updated until now at nearly 11 at night. It was the first chance I had. I'm going to go to bed now. I'm exhausted but hopeful tomorrow will be better.
