Oh, that fall was about 2 1/2 years ago.


I dropped my car off at the shop about 2 1/2 hours ago and haven't heard anything back yet. The cab ride home was $20 because I live in the sticks now… OUCH.

Shortly after I got home, my cellphone suddenly shut off and wouldn't turn back on again even though I had plenty of battery life. I had a problem with it turning off on its own recently, but I could turn it back on. I went to the Genius Bar for a "fix," which helped up until now. It's charging, and I hope I'll be able to turn it on later, but I doubt it… I think it's DEAD. And it's not like I can go anywhere or do anything about it without a car.

The problem is how I'm going to get in contact with my husband if I have questions about the car repairs? He can sometimes get texts, but usually has a hard time getting calls at work. I've already tried calling him from our landline and he didn't answer. If I can't get in touch with him, he's just going to have to live with whatever decisions I make…
