Well, this was a grumpy thing yesterday, but now it's happy, sort of. I went to go to work yesterday and my car wouldn't start. I've been worried about this happening for three years cause it's old (over 220,000 miles on it), but it's been running great this whole time. So here I am, needing to get to work that is 15 minutes away (not far, except if you have to walk it). I finally decided to ride the bus to the bus stop closest to my work and bike the rest of the way (a little over a mile). It took me 1 hr 15 min. And when I got to work I had two flat bike tires (don't know if they were like that when I started, but they weren't the last time I rode, so I didn't check). But I got there and I asked if anyone could give me a ride home and I found someone who could (and could bring my bike, too, so that's a happy thing). And then I talked to my step-dad who's a mechanic and he said it was probably the battery or the alternator or alternator belt. It's okay if it's the battery or belt, but bad if it's the alternator. So my husband and I got the battery charged and drove over to Auto Zone. They test batteries and alternators for free. Luckily it turned out it was the battery. Yeah! Something easy and relatively cheap to fix! Plus the Auto Zone guy installed the battery for us for free. So it turned out okay.
