2646

Clickety Clack the truck is back--it was on the rack--now it's on the track! After dinking around all morning, I went to the rental car place and picked up a vehicle. I used the rented carriage to run a few errands--one of which involved going by the garage and retrieving something from the truck. While I was there, the repair advisor told me that there was a possibility that the work would be done by late afternoon. Sure enough, he called about 4pm and said the truck could run amok.

I didn't have anyone that could take me to the rental place to turn in the car--and then take me to the repair shop. I mulled this over for a while--not a happy mulling. Then I thought that I would check with the rental place--ask them if I returned the car early could they shuttle me to where my truck awaited? The answer was a friendly "yes"! I took them up on their offer and retrieved my trusty vehicle.

The repair place had to do major surgery on the truck--a network of fluid exchange pipes had fractured. The break in the pipes caused the system to dump all of its coolant--and the engine to overheat. It appears that I may have been lucky--and did no damage in chugging my way to the shop. The truck appears to be running well.

I felt somewhat paralyzed over the past few days--the stress chopped its way into my system. I felt at a loss and out of control. Tension and PD don't so well together--PD doesn't do well with anything except, perhaps, dancing.

Have a PD support group in the morning--and a dance class in the afternoon! Keep on trucking!
