Friday the 13th! Yikes
I didn’t post yesterday because it was a hectic day, I got home late (for me) and was too tired to write anything. Some days are just like that.
It started with me taking my Jeep in to Joey Acardi Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealership. The first thing the rep did was plug into the computer system to see what was what. He didn’t find anything except the AC filter which I knew about. He said the serpentine belt needed replacement (better safe than sorry) and to bring the Jeep back after the first of the year to see about the creaks I get while driving. I’ll probably just take it to Jiffy Lube.
Joel, Keith and John picked me up and we went to breakfast at Mom’s. I was waiting for a call from the dealership but nothing happened. Joel and Keith took me home and I napped a little waiting for a call. Didn’t happen. Keith needed to walk the dogs and he wanted to take me down there so I could get my Jeep back.
As I walked in, the representative said he had been trying to reach me for quite some time. When I opened my phone, the telephone calls and text messages appeared for the first time. iPhones do that sometime. He wanted permission to do the headlight change. He said it was considerably more than he anticipated.
In January of this year, the headlight on the right side was replaced for $323. Yesterday’s cost was $724, and that was just the part. So, instead of a total bill of $999, the bill came to $1321. I don’t think you can walk out of a dealership service for less than a $1000 these days. Of course, I’ve received a phone call and a text from Joey Acardi wanting to buy my Jeep and sell me a new one. No.
From the Jeep place, I headed to Judith and Chris’ house. Judith wanted me to talk to Chris about chemotherapy. He’s been prescribed 18 sessions. I tried to let him know a little to expect. Hopefully, it won’t affect him as badly as it did me. I left when I realized I was late to take my meds. I then proceeded to crash.
You saw the Christmas tree in daylight day before yesterday. Here’s the tree at night.
Tonight, Nancy and Michel are coming over to take a look at it, drink some eggnog, and have a good time.
Stay tuned!
