So I was in the shower tonight and was using shampoo to wash my face and only realized I was doing so because it smelt funny. That's when you know it's been a long week, and it's only Wednesday. But hey, at least my eyebrows and eyelashes will be healthy! :) I think this whole waking up at the butt crack of dawn thing is getting to me, but I'm still going strong. 5:30 am run has happened every day so far (okay I know it's only been 4 days but still, go me!). I have also added in an evening workout. I haven't watched TV in a year (no I'm not a hippie) so I have lots of time to exercise. That's what I tell myself anyways. I would much rather be doing some craft or reading a blog about how to curl my hair like I did yesterday. I definitely did not get the hair stylist genes in the family. You should have seen my attempt at the hair curling this morning, it ended up in a ponytail with me running out the door. Needless to say it did NOT look like the adorable girl in the blog's hair. Anyways...enough about my hair issues.
Here's a question for you. How the crap are you supposed to know if something is wrong with your vehicle until SOMETHING GOES WRONG??? The heat wasn't working well for the last few days but I figured it was driver error and I had the outside air coming in or something, so I drove it to work. Not a good decision, because apparently I blew a head gasket (whatever that is) yesterday on my way home from work. Yes, I know that the heat gauge went up to the red "H" part when I had to slow down in traffic and it is not supposed to do that but if I kept driving it went back down. So I figured that I was doing a good thing to keep driving home so that it stayed down. Right??? WRONG! Well I know now I guess. I feel like it's a lose lose situation with vehicles. I would have to have everything possible thing go wrong once first so I learn the signs for the next time. Stupid things. Someone needs to invent a car that never has any issues and you never have to do anything to it but put gas in it, and I would even settle for not putting gas in it and doing nothing at all. I know I'm a horrible vehicle owner, I always have been. I left my lights on and killed my car, locked my keys in the car, and rear ended Jim (yes my husband) all within an hour!! I should have quit and bought a bike then...or a nice pair of walking shoes.
Just wanted to tell you that this just happened to us and we have been dealing with it for weeks. We tried replacing the thermostat, then a cap on the coolant tank or something like that, and then decided it needed a new head gasket. FYI, a head gasket is not a cheap fix. BOO!
