A Dead Battery and a Long Day

This morning I woke up late. I have stopped setting my alarm because Sydney always wakes me up promptly at 7:00 a.m. However, last night she woke up screaming 3 times, and I guess in addition to messing with my sleep it messed with hers too, so she remained quiet even after I woke up at 8:30. I got a showered and ready and headed to the coffee house where I was looking forward to spending time studying for upcoming teachings. (trying to work ahead).

When I pulled in the parking lot Corie called. "I have bad news," she said. It turns out that her battery was dead in the Jeep. I wasn't surprised. I've heard a new noise in the alternator so I've been wary that it might be dieing. I came home and spent the morning charging it up and getting the alternator tested (it's fine btw) then finding that an interior light had been left on. Isn't it amazing how something like that can derail your day. It was almost lunch when I was finished so I stayed here at the house and it's been one thing or another that has kept me from getting as much accomplished today as I wanted to.

Uggh!

At least you didn't buy a $50 battery only to find out it was a $100 alternator you needed like I did 2 weeks ago. Oh, the blessing of things that we possess or possess us. Dad
