was intense
OK
so NO therapy
BUT
I have to take my cat to the vet tomorrow
I really need to drive my car
&
I've let the battery go dead again
SO
I was gonna call AAA
if the jump starter thing didn't work
which
it didn't
BUT my neighbor was out
smoking a cigar
& he helped me
he's a 18 wheeler driver
but his rig's in the shop
he took me down to AutoZone to buy a battery
AND
put it in for me
I was BOTH
DEEPly touched
& DEEPly mortified
I don't ask people for help easily
& truth be TOLD
I didn't really ASK
I wanted help
I was happy for the help
I'm not entirely sure
that it wouldn't have been cheaper
& easier to just call AAA
the part where a piece of the sh*t that goes
around to hold the battery
fell between
the radiator and the front of the car
DOWN INSIDE
&
we're slightly MOVING the radiator
WAS STRESSFUL
BUT
it all worked out
& I feel
CARED ABOUT
in a sort of visceral way
I have got to bake them cookies or something
THAT'S NEW for me
