Gray Friday

Darryl was supposed to have an online consultation this morning with those employment people. They of course didn't call. He was excited about a job he saw down in St. Mary's Georgia but I'm not going to get myself all worked up.

I'm glad Darryl had my car taken in. I knew something was wrong with the brakes and they said there was some sort of leak. It's getting fixed right now. It will take about $250 to fix that and look at the transmission. I hope my car is fixed by Friday.

As far as thriftymaven goes I received another comment but again it's some company attaching themselves to my post, basically spam. How frustrating.
