Mom ended up coming to see us. Her weekend visit turned into 2 weeks thanks to the lovely idiots who worked on my car. I needed my clutch replaced and we looked everywhere to get it done for what I had saved up. Asked friends, coworkers, everyone where we should go. Found this place who said they'd do it for 350 and turn my flywheel for free. Ok, deal. Since that's what I had and for some reason I believed he was an honest, Christian businessman cuz he had Christian music playing when you go in his office. Nay nay I say. That was a ruse. He had his dingleberry son and a high school kid working on my car. He installs the clutch we provided and put it back together and the clutch pedal wouldn't go down so they claimed I needed my master cylinder replaced. Tell me they'll order it, we wait 4 days. It gets sent to the wrong warehouse, gets lost at the warehouse, they order one from Kia and it's not even the right master cylinder. My sister-in-law's boyfriend goes out with Joe and looks at it and tells the kid it's not my mc, it's gotta be the clutch. He says he'll take it back apart but it'll cost another 300 if it's the clutch we provided. Wouldn't ya know it, it was the clutch. Of course. We get a different clutch, takes them almost 2 days to install. Finally got my car back. My clutch pedal and brake pedal were like right next to each other when I got in. Drove it home, I tell Joe something's not right with my pedals. He was able to just pull my clutch pedal back where it was supposed to be. I was so mad with the entire situation daddy. I feel like we were ripped off, we were charged for turning the flywheel. We asked and they said they never said that. Liars! We weren't offered even as much as a gee, we're sorry it took so long or a discount or anything. I feel like if this guy was any kind of reputable businessman he woulda taken it back apart the first day to see if maybe, just maybe, something was wrong with the clutch instead of make us wait and go thru all that unnecessary BS and extra cost. Mom said I needed to be patient and they weren't idiots. In my opinion they were. It's my opinion. My blog, my thoughts. Mine. I will most definitely never ever let them touch my car again, ever. Don't care if I'm broke down, sitting in a dark forest and zombies and bears are surrounding my car. Never! Mom was really great helping me get it paid for, adds to my hugemungus bill I have with her but I really do appreciate her help. She stayed cuz we were without a car. We told her we woulda figured out what to do if she went home, and she did go home before we got it back cuz she had a dr's appt. She left on a Tuesday and I didn't get it back until that Saturday. Blithering idiots. My opinion.
Mom has lost 46 lbs since I last talked to her, I'm proud of her. I hate what she went thru in order to do it but she's happy and being happy is all that matters. I've learned that. I'm nothing but happy these days and I love it!
I haven't talked much to Brian the past month. He pissed me off. Called him cuz I hadn't talked to him in a while and barely two minutes in he snapped at me cuz I asked if he was sleeping. Didn't know that was such a touchy subject. I found that metal clipboard thing you had from Groendyke for your logs. Thought he could use it, would want it cuz it was yours. Didn't even get to ask if he wanted it, now I don't even know if I want him to have it. I hung up on him. It was the wrong day to snap at me. I know, stupid reason to not talk to him. I finally called him the other day, talked about a minute. Just hi, bye basically. Didn't feel like talking to him. I will, idk when but I will.
Joe n I are doing great, still happy as a clam. Our 1st anniversary is in 11 days. It's been an awesome year. Still happy, happy. He's my favorite person in the history of like, ever. I've only had a handful of favorite ppl in my life. I still wish you coulda met him, known him. You'd have loved him. I've been talking about you, telling him things about you. He said I wish I coulda met him, he sounds like he was a helluva guy. I think he n I coulda been friends. I think so too daddy. Don't know much else. I miss you so much. I love you dad. (Forehead kiss) Talk to you in a little bit. XOXO
Yep, sure have.
