Restive State

The title tells the tale. It was the "simple", a dead battery.

But in reality it uncovered so much more. Granted, going in we knew that this car required work, but not the list of work that is steadily mounting. Not a day goes by that I don't find something new to fix, repair or redo. Nor does the day come where it all seems just right. The only time it really feels like that is when I cruising down the road and for a brief moment realize that life isn't so bad. Then the car starts shaking uncontrollably (bad struts) and I have to fight it to keep it on the road. But hey, it runs and tomorrow is Friday!
