Cooler Weather in the Morning

This morning when I went out to check the water in the radiator the air was chilly. I almost went back inside the house to get a sweater. I didn't go back in, instead I popped the hood on the car and removed the radiator cap. There was no water in the radiator so I put water in. I'm going to have to check the water level again in the morning.

It's becoming a morning ritual. I go out around dawn and pop the hood on the car. Then I remove the cap from the radiator, check the water level and add water. Sometimes I don't have to add water, those days I add coolant. I need a new water pump. Since I can't afford a new or late model car, I have to have this one fixed.

Right now I check the water level in the radiator every morning and every afternoon when I get off work. Tomorrow, I have a dental appointment so I'll check the water level after I get out of the dentist. My appointment is at 1:00 PM, but I'm going directly to the dentist office after I get off work. I have water for the radiator in the car, so adding it isn't a problem. Fortunately, I don't have to drive very far from work to the dentist office and then home.

I got my car fixed today

I got my car fixed today, at least the immediate problem. I still have other work to have done on it, but I have the problem with the radiator and hoses taken care of. I realized yesterday when I walked home from work, that I can't walk the distance I could when I was 16 years old.

I have a 1991 Toyota Camry and I'm going to have to take care of it because I can't afford a newer car. So the next thing to do is to get a spare, have the oil, stuff changed and have a tune-up. All that cost money; although once I have some more work done on it I might be able to get a title loan.

I have a new radiator, new hoses and a clean car. The mechanic had the car washed. I think I'll find my title, have the car washed again next month and see if I can get a little loan on it. I'm not sure that will occur. I've tried before to no avail, but it's worth a try again. I need to get more money coming into the house.


No matter how much I want t give up when I'm depressed, I know I'm not going to give up. Right now I'm weary and on the verge of tears. The tears aren't going to do any good. The weariness will go away eventually. I just have to keep plugging away and keep writing on.

Writing about the lack of control

Lately I can't control anything in my life. All though, I don't think this is a recent phenomena. Perhaps that is why I like writing fiction and poetry. In a story or poem, I have some control over what happens. In real life, I have not control at all. I planned to go to the Lady's Night poetry reading and read some of my work.

Fate, God and the universe apparently had other plans. Actually, what I should say is my car had other plans. I noticed that it was over heating yesterday, so I came home and parked the car in my driveway. I presumed that the only problem was I hadn't kept close enough eye on the water in the radiator.

I let the car cool down over night, which is what I normally do in these cases. I went out this morning to put water in the radiator. I put water in and it kept leaking out. After closer inspection of where the water was coming from, I determined the problem wasn't the radiator, but a hose or other component. If the problem was the radiator I could have used stop leak.

It turns out the problem isn't a hose either, but has something to do with the thermostat covering. It apparently has been, leaking for some time and I didn't know. Anyway, someone is working on it now. If he doesn't get it fix or at least where I can drive it, I'll have to have it towed to my mechanic Wednesday or Thursday. I didn't have it towed today because I didn't have Triple A, I now have Triple A, but it takes 24 hours for activation.
