Car Things

I hate even getting gas, and when I'm out and the car decides not to start, flat tire or the car stalls, etc. I tend to freak out a little. For this reason when I was single my brother-in-law whom I'd call when ever these types of things happen, gave me for my birthday one year a AAA membership. When P and I got married, he thought renewing it was pointless. I was not comfortable in canceling, because what if I'm alone with the kids and something happens, or just alone, and I can't get a hold of him. Today was one of those days I am thankful for AAA, as I was out doing errands this afternoon, and just out of the blue, the car does not start. Luckily I had just gone to the library, so I had something to read, while I waited for nearly an hour, and I was able to wait inside for the AAA service guy. The battery was shot. To Checker I went, and got a new battery, it was 2 years and 2 weeks ago we last got a battery, it feels like it was just last year, I was a little concerned that the warranty would be used up, but it wasn't so yeah, it didn't cost anything for a new battery, the warranty starts over and Checker took out the old battery and put the new one in. Which I would just be clueless how to do. I even forgot where the lever was to open to hood (the Checker guy helped me with that too)
