Just got back from dropping it off. Here’s today’s update. Apparently, Wayne said the radiator fan is just bad timing, not part of the problem with the A/C. (Though I guess the reverse is possible? You can burn out a compressor fan from a bad radiator or something as the system tries to stay cooled…

A Very Bad Day
It’s just so much I can’t even explain it all. But the long, horrible story short is that the Element’s air conditioning is completely wrong. I’d say, “again” but it seems like it was never fixed right the first THREE times we’ve done it. This has been going on for TWO YEARS now and still,…
Holiday Weekend
Been quiet around here the past few days because it was a 3-day, holiday weekend. Today (Monday, May 28th) is Memorial Day and a Federal holiday so most companies are closed, including Love’s. (Plus things like banks, post office, etc.) It’s also considered the “unofficial” start of summer here in the US. People BBQ and…
Dead Car Battery (With Help from Homer)
So my day started off like this: Because at 6:30am as Love is leaving for work, he calls me and says his car won’t start. He’s got to get to work (obviously) so he’s taking mine. Boo. I worry a little but go back to sleep. When I get up, I walk downstairs to the…
Tuesday Migraine
Woke up with a migraine in full bloom today. Been in the bathroom sick for the past hour. Had to reschedule hematologist appointment for today. There’s just no way I’m going anywhere. It’s totally from stress I’m sure. Not sure what’s up with car yet. Talked to him yesterday and he said the code was…
Monday
Ok, so it’s Monday. And busy week ahead. First, the Honda. Love talked to a friend who gave a mechanic recommendation. Looked him up on Google and he’s got 10, 5-star reviews. Everyone says he’s honest and fair priced. Love’s friend has been going to him for years. So I’m waiting on AAA right now…
Emotionally Broken – Fiances and Car Breakdown
Today we were on I-4 driving out to see the annual free Festival of the Masters Art Show at Downtown Disney, with plans to see the dancing Osborne Lights and fireworks afterward (just to do something fun after so long not feeling well from surgery), when the engine light came on in the car, Love…
On the Tow Truck
Not a sight I normally see. The Element on the flatbed of the tow truck this afternoon. 26 miles outside of Tampa. Its home in the parking lot now until we can come up with an idea of what to do next. "Depressed" doesn't even cover what I'm feeling right now. "Hopeless" might be more…
Stranded
Stranded on the side of l-4. With about $10 to our name for the week. Fucking awesome. Waiting on AAA. Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Flat Tire – The Revenge
So remember last Saturday when we were out and got a flat and had to spend an hour and a half sitting in Walmart waiting for them to fix it? Well we we were out again today and as we come out of the pet food store we notice the SAME tire is flat. We…
Saturday’s Outing Gone Wrong
So, yesterday (Saturday) we were Going To Go Out. Ok, not like anything fancy or interesting, but when you’re recovering from major organ-removing surgery, even small trips to the store are a Big Deal. Yesterday, (Day 17 post-op) I found a pair of denim capri pants that are normally too big and a little stretched…
Weekend Update
It’s kinda been a busy weekend and I was getting ready to go to bed but not quite tired enough to sleep yet so I thought I’d spend a few minutes writing up an update. Friday I finally had my much belated birthday lunch with my Mom and sister. They were out in Vegas for…
Post Appointment Update
Lots to cover so hopefully, this will make sense. Shot First, I got the shot. I only got a 1 month shot instead of the three month shot. (I thought he said two but I was on Valium at the time so I must have misheard.) I was really concerned about the side effects and…
The Return of the A/C Problems
So, awesome news…Love was driving home yesterday and stopped to get gas. When he turned the car back on after pumping, the air conditioning wouldn’t turn on. At all. Nothing happens when he turns the knob. The fan’s not kicking on at all. It was just working prior to stopping for gas and there’s been…
Tree crap
It poured last night. And its heavy duty crazy pollen time here in florida. Every single inch of my car is covered in tree crap. No time to drive to a car wash before work so its going to sit like that all day. Joy.Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
