Accepting Donations

When it rains it pours. Last evening, after driving into campus to attend a workshop that I really didn't need to attend, my good car decided to act up. as I rounded the corner to leave school, it suddenly sounded like I had run over a bicycle and decided to drag it home. The check engine light came on, the engine shook. I got out and looked under the car- nothing was there.
I made it to the mechanic which is just a few blocks from campus...but the bad news is it is still there... and he thinks it could be a costly repair. I should hear from him later today.

So I am reading while I await that call, and I am still waiting on the plumbers to show up this morning! They have yet to arrive to fix the main drain line in the house. A most costly repair...
Ugh.

I am accepting donations from anyone in the Universe feeling generous. Any contributions must bet a donation, not a loan. I am maxed out on loans. Ok... I realize I probably won't get any, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway.
