Another costly repair. The Santa Fe’s engine started smoking right before I got to the pool in Roseville. Fortunately, I limped off the freeway and got into a gas station. But smoke was billowing all over the car. I kind of freaked out. But steady on, I called AAA and eventually got a tow. It took 2 hours of waiting, so I was pissed off. He alos, the driver, took the car up to Auburn to the garage I used once before. I hate doing these things and my adrenaline was skyrocketing. The driver was very nice. he told me he’s Muslim and we had a nice chat about the state of things in our country. The garage was also kind and helpful as I must have looked a bit crazy at that point. My daughter came and got me and then we picked up some Taco tree to bring home.

Long story short, both coolant hoses had split so there was no coolant thus the smoking. So it’ll be $1500 to fix. I guess when there’s money problems it all comes at once. sigh, I’m incredibly frustrated and concerned. I mean this too will pass, but shit, does it all have to pile up at once.

So, then I had to take my daughters Honda to Velcade yesterday. I get quite anxious if I haven’t done something before so I drove slower than normal. In the end it was fine and I got there and home ok.

Today, I should be able to get the car and pay the bill on a CC again. But it’s also my Dex day, so I’ll need to be extra careful driving.

I’ve been staining the fence out by the driveway in 15 minute increments. I have had the stain a few years in the garden shed and decided it was about time. I am almost done but I think I will run out of stain right near the end. So I’ll have to decide buy a new gallon or leave it? I guess I’ll see how far I get. After I finish this I might see what else I can help with in the yard. I can’t do a whole lot but I can do some.

I checked on my Miebo reorder and I cant order till next week. The AI did say the $0 copay was a one time manufacturer deal, which I did figure out. This is a very expensive eye drop so I doubt I’ll be able to afford it and the insurance declined it already. I’l wait and see what it is next week. Maybe it wont be too bad.

Well, I’m feeling quite overwhelmed at the moment, so after I get the car, I’ll come home and stain some more fence and then read some.
