    Festiva Nightmare

    So, I was taking a mid-day nap, and having pleasant dreams when I dreamt I was finally getting my festy back from the shop.

    (The noisey serpentine was because it was the WRONG belt. They intentionally put the wrong belt on my car. I am so furious about that. And the engine ticking is a bad wrist pin. Stupid ...*insert various curse words here* Anyways.)

    The took the pain of delievering it to me, which was strange because I live 20/30 minutes from that shop. When I got it, I was absolutely horrified. The front bumper was hanging on by a screw, the hood looked like a crumpled bit of paper, including the cowling. The rear fender was bent outwards, and the back glass was smashed.

    I woke up in a cold sweat, sure it had actually happened! I woke up with the most relief I've ever had in my life that I was just having a dream ...!!
    Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not ok, it is not the end.
