Gloomy days make you think.

 

Days like this, gloomy make me feel a certain way. I feel less productive. I feel down. I wanted to go over a friends house but I can't even leave the house. I'm sitting here typing this hoping a can work up the mental energy to get dress and leave. 

I think if I had the car working it would be a different thing. The issue with the car since last year was, I would drive it, it would get warm not overheated or anything and just flat out stop were ever I am. No matter what I'm doing, stopped in traffic or just driving along. I get it pulled over in half if the cases or have to push it to the side. 

The first time it happened to me I was in a grocery store parking lot. I just finished shopping and went out to the car. Wouldn't start. I tried for a while. checked under the hood. I didn't see anything so after sitting there for a while I called a tow truck. While they were on their way there I tried the car one more time. It started. So I drove home no problem. 

The next time it happened I'm driving on Commercial Ave it just flat out stopped in the middle of the street as I was pulling up to stop behind a car. I got some guys that were standing around to push me to the side. Again I waited, tried and couldn't get it started. So I called a tow, wasn't lucky like last time. So when i got home he was letting it down. He reach in and turned the key and the damn care started like it was nothing wrong. 

I took it to a mechanic that had it for a week and couldn't find anything wrong. So I got it back drove it for a week until it stopped on my again and I just left it in the driveway. 

You might ask. Why don't you buy another car? Well if you have noticed the used car market is nuts. Prices are high and these deals aren't in favor of the consumer. So I'm waiting for everything to come back down. Of course as I'm doing that other issues have creeped in. So I'm back to fixing the old car.

On top of all of that one night I heard gunshots, really close gunshots. At the time I wasn't going out a lot. So a friend told me my window was busted. Well it was more than busted. There was a bullet that hit the top frame of the door shattering the glass and making body damage to where I can't just get a window put in. Geez.

    Lastly this was my mother's car, So I'm going to have to resolved that situation as I'll have to get it registered in my name in order to get new tags. SMH

Yeah its a lot but I'm gonna have to figure out my transportation issue soon. The Chicago winter is coming up and I know its gonna be harder to get a ride then.
