THE WHITE CHARGER IS FIXED

I get a phone call last night and it's Vincent..saying he owes me an apology..he had forgotten about me and the truck..so he came and got me to go help him get it started, has a ford econoline?...I think that's what it is..it's about 3 cars long...and we used a chain to pull it till it jump started..then he took it home and about and hour or so later he called and said it was ready..Wasn't the starter ..it was the wire that goes from the solenoid(spelling?) to the starter..he also fixed the bell that goes off all the time and never stops, put brake fluid in..and some other fluids..don't remember what they were..fixed my heater(the defrost wasn't working),fixed the idle and I'm telling you...it's like driving a new truck...all for the princely sum of $45...It drives better, shifts better and the brakes are better...I happy...
I'm also exhausted...Jenny came and got me and I did the Jackie of all trades chores for her..I got some chips off the door and had a yoyo kid match the color at Lowe's for her front door, which they had painted in flat house paint..Bought electric plug and plate and replaced, put in a new door bell, took some cleaner and wire brushes and got some spray paint off her front porch..measured all her screens so I can get the kits to make her some new screens. Took my upholstery needles and bought some tough thread to patch up her fax leather couch and love seat..the arm on the couch was tore, so I sewed it..and fixed some little nicks and dings with the patch kit.. You can't even tell where I fixed it..dang I'm good..We had a lot of fun..she got all hysterical a few times with the guys that were doing the job of putting in new carpet, counter tops, and hanging her mini blinds...But all and all, we had a great day, got lots done and she thinks I'm super grannie...She must have thanked me 15 times and let me know how much she appreciated it and loved me for doing it....My heart is full...My back is killing me and my legs hurt and feel like hammered shit this morning, but it's all worth it...Just to know she's happy...
I was going to post a picture of her..but can't get fucking blogster to work this morning..won't spell check and won't let me pull up pictures...fuck you blogster..
Ok....back to my books...
