Cars + trips

This week hasn't been the greatest so far. Tuesday morning my car was acting oddly as I would pull out and then shift to 2nd. After a few minutes driving it seemed to be doing better; however, I was able to get a mechanic that works for the college to take a look at it for me. He took it for a short drive and didn't seem to think that anything was wrong with it. Later, though, Michael and I both drove the car and felt like the clutch was much stiffer than it used to be. Michael went ahead and drove it to work that evening but later called me and said it was having more problems. Then, on his way home he called me to let it know that it wasn't accelerating properly.

Turns out my clutch is gone. And there went our only car. See, Michael's blazer had had some problems earlier which ended with the need to replace the motor which we haven't done yet.

So part of my day was spent arranging to get a rental car because of this trip that we've got planned to go to my friend's wedding (as I'm in it) and to visit Michael's family. End of the day we have a car and will be leaving tomorrow evening as planned.

See you all this weekend!
