Well the day is still not over but here is what happen up till now.
I wake up early! Go me! I get ready and have time to spare while my Equisux warms up, so I cut my grapefruit and look up and realize that the Equinox is not actually running, so I go back to my remote start and press the button again and watch this time, open the front door and give a little listen and hear nothing. Insert swear word here.
So I get some boots on and jacket and head out to the Equisux, and try to manually start it and nothing, it just clicks at me. Great, J is leaving today for his first day of his away job and the Equisux decides that today it is not going to work!
Return to house, slam door, wake J up and have a little disagreement over what the hell to do with the stupid vehicle. He goes out and comes back in with no better solution, except to get my shoveling snow suit on and dig out the crappy car he bought to sell. This lovely grandma sedan has been under a mountain of snow for over a month, and the thing starts up as if it was driving yesterday.
So new task is to dig the car out of the two feet of snow and drive it to work. 20 minutes later we got the beast free and I happily, well sort of happy, to go to work.
Return home for lunch, call GM to get the Equisux in for an appointment, then call roadside assistance to get me a tow truck, they say 40 minutes and my tow truck should be there! Sweet, I will only be slightly late for work.
Three hours later, I am still waiting for my tow truck. Awesome.
What I have done while waiting; vacuumed floor, did dishes, tidied up a bit, and started making my favorite soup, curried squash. Pretty sure the only thing that will make me happy is the soup today.
So I will continue to wait for my tow truck to take away my disappointment of a car to the "doctor" and await the hopefully not too expensive good news.....
