Jimpy Days

This is what is going on in my life. Sometimes I feel that people don't have any idea of what my day-to-day living is all about or what it entails. Hopefully these postings will help those wanting, gain a better perspective of what my lifestyle is.

When it Rains, it Pours.

This week I had been carpooling to work with my neighbor, who happens to work in the same office I do. Tuesday morning we drive to work as normal, park the van and make our way to our building for the day.

After work we get to the van and it won’t even turn over. The battery is dead as a door nail. Fortunately the Parking and Transit services on campus could come and give us a jumpstart. I had the same thing happen the previous weekend but it was after the van had been sitting for over 10 days without being driven. All I needed was to have a bad battery.

The next morning when we went out to start the van it started right up. Thank God the battery was still good. As usual, we drove over to my neighbor’s house to pick her up. We were right on time but as we drove away we realized we had a flat tire. Luckily her husband was right there to change it.

Two consecutive days and two different problems with my van. It was a little frustrating at the time, with visions of my van meeting servicing, but looking back at it, it was kind of amusing. Ironic might be a better word.

Yeah, when it rains, it pours.This week I had been carpooling to work with my neighbor, who happens to work in the same office I do. Tuesday morning we drive to work as normal, park the van and make our way to our building for the day.
