spokeIn the beginning, there was going off to pay electricity and worrying about my car.
Note the possessive.
While in the drive through, I get a call from Dad. Guess who's been driving on a suspended license? I give you two guesses, and one of my siblings is no longer in this state!
So Larry's been pulled over and they've parked the car, and need me to drive them out there so that Dad can drive it home. I tell Dad that I'm taking my car in to have her looked at, because hello leak.
He asks me if it might be water condensed from the AC running. At which point I actually snapped at him, because what makes him think I don't know what water looks like?! *snarl*
(At this point I should note that I am still in the midst of that state which causes grown men to flee from women like they were the girls.)
He was a bit surprised by that, but had to admit it was an insulting question. So. New plan - I get the car looked at and take them out in the afternoon, when I'm also more awake.
I get up, they eventually get their acts together and we all head out - and it's been towed. Though at first there was some concern it had been stolen, but really. A beat up '86 Buick? Why?
New new plan - Myself and the Dad will be heading out in the morning to retrieve Larry's car from the towing company. Dad has approximate directions but no address, but at least I'll have Dad with me. Since if it was up to me to find this place without an address, we could end up anywhere.
It ends with Larry checking the garage for the stain which I thought came from my car? His car, actually, he recognizes the stuff what's leaking and has parked on my side a couple of times while I was at work.
Of course, I ended up stopping us for coffee and to grab some sugar/milk/pointless junk for breakfast. So between that and learning my car's alright, I've actually ended in a pretty good mood. ^_^
