and he took it back....
sigh. the guy from the repair shop called tonight with an update.apparently it wasn't just the one part of my engine...when replaced it was still overheating and not behaving properly [like owner, like car? hmmmm], so they are going to have to do more work.
bummer.
this whole thing has been a lesson in choosing gratefulness.
I choose to be grateful that my car broke when I was so close to home and not at work 20 miles away.
I choose to be grateful that it broke when I had the next day off and had the time to deal with it without the stress of worrying over missing work.
I choose to be grateful that while it stinks that I have to spend the money to repair it, it could be worse - I could not have any resources with which to pay for it.
I choose to be grateful that I have a vehicle at all.
I choose to be grateful that I have a job that provides for me....I choose to think about these things instead of going to the crybaby whinebag 'why me'....
