Ok. So I know what you're all thinking...

" But Jessica, it's 1pm, why are you at home and not at school!? "

Well Folks.

Let me tell you why!

I have no car!

Ok so I have a car. It's currently being repaired.

I was driving from Daly City yesterday to drop Loren off at work when I noticed my temp gauge was all the way at overheating.

I pulled over and saw that my car had no coolant in it.

So I filled the coolant thingy with water and opted to go to Jiffy Lube for an oil change and coolant.

I got to Jiffy Lube and was told my coolant level was fine. ( Uhm. What? )

I told them there was water in there so it may look fine but it isn't. They suggested I pay 60 bucks and do a radiator flush. ( uhm. Ok. Great. )

I thought it over and told them I would do it.

$110 later. I'm back on the road and everything looks fine. Except for when they pulled my car out after it had been serviced and I asked.. " Uhm.. is it supposed to be leaking that much fluid out of the front of the car? "

To which they replied.. " Yup, it's fine! "

Ok.... Sure. why not. Like I work at Jiffy Lube? Although. I was a little skeptical.

So drive drive drive. The car seems fine.

This morning I was driving and my temp gauge starts to hit overheating again. I pull off the freeway and check for coolant. It's empty. Again.

Turns out there's a leak. Goddamnit. Stupid f'n jiffy lube. Bastards.

So I put more water in and drive to the garage my grandma took the car to when she had it. Loren and I go get breakfast and I get a call for my estimate.

660. Yes. That's right. There is appearantly a hole in my radiator among other horrible things wrong with my car that need replacing. Also they suggested I should replace my timing belt.

Fuck.

So my grandma volunteered to let me use her credit card to charge the work and then pay her back. Great. I opted to have my rotors replaced also since I was already there.

So here I am. At home. I got a ride from the garage. And they're going to pick me up when it's done.

Missed all of my classes.

Bleh.
