It was a midnight walk...but very unexpectedly. He gets to my work early and says there's something wrong with the bearings..but it just started making noise when he turned the street corner of the street I worked. Okay..i thought, just one more day of my work week to go. The car was making an awful sound...it wasn't the engine, that revved perfectly. After a few minutes, we realized it wasn't the bearing or anything to do with the tires at all. My poor car wouldn't gear out of first gear..it's an automatic so there was really nothing we can do. We decided to stop at the drugstore and pick up some transmission fluid thinking there must be a hole or something. Checked the fluid level- nope wasn't that., checked the oil..nope wasn't that either. By this time, I had bought myself some wine coolers..because of course I was just starting to freak out a little bit. So I chugged one while hubby was checking all the fluid levels..Didn't want an open container of alchohol just in case we were stopped by the police. Very responsible huh? A couple of blocks from the drugstore, my car finally said "Nope, I aint going anyplace and you cant make me."  The transmission finally stopped. we were able to get it onto the side street, and of course, since hubby walks with a cane and can't very well push anyting, I got out and pushed my car while he parked it. I'm soo glad my car is small and light.  We parked it, I got everything I need out of it. There was a McDonalds across the street. We'll call our roommate from there. I sid why don't we just call your mom directly...I forgot we're all on the same cell phone company and we can't make a payment til tommorrow because the company is upgrading their billing system. So we had to call our roommate to get in touch with his mom to pick us up. Well, the phone at McD's was ripped out, so we started on our journey at first to find a workable payphone, then it progressed to finding a payphone and a restroom. Remember that wine cooler I chugged? LOL. Hubby and I were joking all the way til his mom came to pick us up. He told his mom, just come up the street, she has her uniform on and you'll see the crippled guy walking next to her. LOL. I know that's not funny about the crippled part, but at the time it was hilarious. His pain meds were starting to wear off and I could see it,,he was starting to walk almost like the zombies you see in the movies. I took his hand, looked around at this dark almost deserted main street and told him..'well, we did want to take a walk at night." LOL. I think we walked about 5 miles before being picked up.
