Turned key, car would not start. Mechanic came down and took car away. I had a small nervous breakdown and need to stop sobbing before walking down to Enterprise to rent a car. I can't miss more work. I've spent all my vacation time.

I can't afford a new car. Please. Just please.

Tell me this is going to be okay.

As of last night I am officially on a full news blackout to avoid 9/11 whiplash. Had to change my alarm this morning off of NPR. I must remember to flat out avoid any real-time tv.

Allyson, it will work out. mechanic work today should be free.

It will be OK, Allyson.
