Time for a mini-van

I have had the most stupid problems with my Intrepid. Most recently, about 2 weeks ago, it just died on us...thankfully we were just sitting in our driveway when it happened. After diagnosing that it was the fuel pump, we ordered in the $350 part. Of course Cam installed it only to find that it's something else! Jeff comes over and immediately sees that a simple little fuse is blown--voila! -- then it works! 3 days later I'm driving uptown with Kelsey and it dies on me...in an intersection! I was horrified. Luckily, it was right across the street from an Esso station so I called my dad to come help me. In the meantime, 3 guys from the station pushed the car off the road for me. No one could figure out was wrong, so I got it towed to an automotive shop. And to top it all off, Canadian Tire won't take that brand new fuel pump back because it smells like gas!! That was my awful Monday.

On a happier note my first day of work went really well. I was kind of worried that I'd forget things, but actually, it doesn't even feel like I ever left! Everything came back to me really quickly. It was nice to see all the staff again. Today I work 12-6. My mom has been dropping me off and picking me up until my car gets fixed next week.
Have a good day,
Bonnie
