Sorry for not posting yesterday but Shannon worked me pretty hard at PT. When I got back to the house I had lunch and crawled into bed. I think I napped for almost 2 hours. Later that day, I crawled back into bed at 6:30 and read until bedtime. Usually, PT hits me the day after but yesterday was the achy day. Today I feel pretty good.
At least I felt good until I realized I needed to take the Jeep in for the check engine light (defective sensor). I told Neyma that I only wanted an oil change ($99.95) and not rotate the tires ($24.94) since they have far less than 10,000 miles on them. I also said I didn’t need and engine air filter ($56.75) nor to replace fuel filters and drain water from the fuel filter assembly ($263.80) since I’ve not driven the Jeep much since Covid. The only reason I agreed to the oil change is my dash said it was 20% left. I figured to get that done and not worry about finding another Jeep dealership.
I asked about a courtesy vehicle to get home but of course, all were out. I used the Uber app to get a ride and Ricardo showed up about 5 minutes later. He was nice, drove safely, and was a good conversationalist. The cost was $20 and I added a 20% tip.
Of course, I fully expect a phone call telling me the multi-point inspection found numerous problems.
Chris texted me about movie night, asking if I was up for it. I said certainly and I expected Tucker was too. That dog is too cute. He sits between me and Chris on the couch and waits to be adored. When Chris quits petting him, I start.
I think the anti-depressant is helping. However, on days like this when I depend on people being honest with me and not try to get me to do something I don’t think needs to be done, I get a little down. When my Jeep is no longer under warranty, I plan to find a mechanic that works on diesels and use them. I’ve had unusually good luck finding mechanics that are honest and willing to provide you options – like a new part or a refurbished part.
It will be busy the rest of the week. Tonight is movie night, tomorrow is birthday dinners for Joel and Keith with Barbara, Friday is PT and Saturday is lunch with Tom, Kurt, Jim and Holley.
Stay tuned!
