Kathy547's blog: Update on the car situation

Posted on Oct 6, 2020 12:04 PM

The mechanic thought at first it was the thermostat so he put a new one on. Wasn't that. Then he got to looking & thought it was the water pump & radiator. Doesn't think it's the water pump but the radiator seems to have some piece missing. He also mentioned the timing chain & heads. So who knows.

I tried to start one of those GoFundMe accounts only it wasn't GoFundMe, it was the one that's Christian based. But I'm tech stupid & couldn't figure everything out😬. I have no clue if its posted or not😂. So, we just took out a loan for $2000. It was frustrating at first because the bank needed both of us but my husband doesn't go out unless its for appointments (& then I have to push him to do it). The people's vehicle we are catching rides from is nasty & disgusts me so he REALLY refuses to get in it. We use the excuse of his oxygen tanks & covid as reasons to not get him out. But the bank worked with us & I went back & forth to the bank, carrying paperwork for his signature. Since the mechanic is an hour away He had suggested using something called CashApp but the bank didn't recommend that. So I told the mechanic we couldn't get the app to load on our phones & sent a cashier's check through the mail. He got it Saturday & has ordered the parts🙌 so hopefully those will be in by the end of this week.

I don't mean to sound unappreciative or petty but I hate how these people are doing. They live with a friend because her car needed repairs, she needed a ride, & they needed a place to live. She said they have dropped her off 2 hours before she had to be at work & didn't pick her up until 5 HOURS after she got off. When I tell them I have errands to run, its going to take awhile, but if you pick me up about 10 a.m. that will give me time to do everything before you have to pick up the husband. Nope. It's 2 or 3 hours later. And then I'm rushed. Hurry up, hurry up. I get in the vehicle....& wait for her to get off her phone. I say, "Thought you were in such a hurry?" In the past, I have driven an hour to pick her up & not ask her to put gasoline in my vehicle, but every single time I get in her vehicle, "Oh no my gas light just went on" So I'll put $10 in but it is SO frustrating!!! Hopefully we won't have this to deal with too much longer.
