Life sometimes just gets in the way of your plans August 3, 2010
Lately I have been putting in a bit about my life and the newest chapter in most of these posts. I had every intention to do that yesterday morning but life got in the way. (Confession: I set up a whole bunch of posts and set them on autopost for these kinds of days).
I drop my youngest off at day care and get back in the car with every intention to head into the office for the day. Go to start the car and “click”. The radio turns on and the windows open and close but the engine goes “click”. I love my minivan (named Jorgen) and I can’t believe that I’ve had “him” for 2 years already. With that said, we think it has something to do with the starter (duh). Not the battery even though the “experts” had to check that too.
Oh well, so I waited for over an hour for the tow truck to tow me a full MILE to the dealership since it’s under warranty and there is no way I am paying for a tow or the repairs right now. It’s the second time I’ve been in for this problem and it needs to be fixed and be reliable. There is no reason that this should be an issue since it is still new, in eyes. After waiting all day for the diagnosis of what was wrong with Jorgan, the guy at the dealership said that it started fine with both keys and the remote starter AND their fancy diagnosis tool didn’t come up with anything. Now I just need to wait until it happens again. Oh Joy – NOT!
I made the best of my wait. First of all, the weather was beautiful to just hang out in so that was nice. Second, it gave me time to start some notes on a new story. I was going to go start a Wesley Crusher fan fic (Star Trek:TNG) but something hit me Sunday night while I was watching Star Trek:Nemesis and now I have another Captain Picard story in the works. I want it to be a fun little story where the characters will be challenged, knowing their end fate before their adventure even begins. I really am looking forward to starting work on it but sometimes writing the notes are just as fun. No idea how long it will be, probably not longer than Second Chances.
When I post this new story, I’m not really sure when that will happen. I do like to finish writing the entire story before posting. This is mostly because I do tend to hand write out many of my stories first and then type them in after.
I’d love to hear if anyone is hankering for a ST:TNG fan fic any time soon!
