I have my car back!

And I have spent another $91.00. Car Battery. They told me at the dealership, that the battery had a bad cell, and it need to be replaced. Also other things like the drive belt, timing belt, three different kinds of flushes, etc. Well, they weren't kidding about the battery. I thought, well, hmph, getting late have to be at pizza restaurant at six, I'll do it tomorrow. Ha! Drove home to put on uniform. For the fun of it , tried to turn it back on. Zip. Oh it makes the starting noise, but doesn't complete it. Call the Pizza restaurant. Kathy takes me off again. I need a jump. Call M. Friday night = school night. leave message about needing jump anyway. Call sister. She comes out with jumper cables. Before she got there, I tried rolling the car down the driveway. When I get to the end, I feel I'm going way to fast so I brake. Wrong move. I end up not even getting all the way out of the driveway. Jackie still manages to get me a jump however. She follows me to Wallyworld. She leaves when I go inside . Oops! To bad that, her leaving. Walleyworld doesn't even CARRY the kind of battery my car needs! The nice Wallyworld guy gives me a jump so I can go to AutoZone. They do have my battery., AND they will put in for me. This turns out to be rather hard. The terminals are corroded on. But eventually they get them off and the new battery in. I call up the pizza place and ask them if they want me to come in anyway. They say no.
