A Generous Gift and then my day turns to Nightmare!

My day started off with my morning routine and then i got a phone call that someone who wishes to remain nameless donated a little bit of money to help out. What a wonderful Christmas gift. I was very touched by the generosity. During a struggle for most Americans someone or more then one donated a gift to us. It is very touching and greatly appreciated and i can not thank you enough for your generosity. Thank you to who ever you are and God Bless you.

My afternoon turned into a headache of a day! What could did go wrong! It’s cold and the wind is blowing. The plan was to get everything packed up and ready to roll in the morning. Of course life had other plan. We needed to work on trying to get the furnace working , still no working furnace. We still do not have water inside of Ms.Southwind. Something is going on with the pump it runs but no water, i read online and it appears to be that it’s lost prime (hoping that’s all it is).

So a run over to Ace hardware to get a hose for priming. Finally that went right and that is what was wrong with the pump, we have water again! Next we went to start Ms. Southwind to go fill up with fuel. She wouldn’t start, in fact i had nothing but the lights come on. So the battery charger was put on the battery and it said it was dead. After several hours of charging still nothing so hubby thought it was the starter so we removed that and took it to Auto Zone and had it tested, nope starter is fine. So hubby tried it again and still nothing. So he decided to try something on the ignition switch and behold she turned over but wouldn’t start. So hubby got some gas and put it in the carburetor it tried to start but sputtered like it was out of gas … grrrr

So a trip to the gas station to get gas in the cans and then in the dark we were pouring them in. Behold Ms. Southwind starts up. So of course no packing or anything were done and at this point were mentally and physically exhausted from our nightmare of a day so we decided to go to Wal-mart and get dinner.

Our evening was spent trying to warm up, for me to stop my very aching back and for hubby to stop his aching body. The cold is hard on my back and for hubby it’s very hard on his entire body. His fibromyalgia doesn’t do well with the cold at all. So for both of us we headed to bed early to end this nightmare of a day!!
