DO you want cheese with that?

It's been rather eventful here this week. Purl has a life threatening disease a cold. She has a really gross cough that acts up if I take her for a walk of more then 2 feet. I think she's starting to do better, which is good. Maybe I can take her for a walk today.
My check engine light is still on. I've already paid way to much money to have it fixed, but the light won't go off! Now I am told it is an electrical problem.
My transmission stopped working yesterday. The car just refused to move forward any more. Luckily I had just left my apartment parking lot, so one of my neighbors took me to work. My car is now sitting in service shop parking lot while I drive a rental.
None of this is fun.
