When it rains....well you know

We woke up this morning to a nasty, grey rainy day. The ground nourishing water fell steadily all day.

But along with the rain comes the "pouring". Not only is Christmas a mere 5 weeks away, and we are supposed to leave on a long weekend trip Thursday morning, but my van has been having a temperature issue. Thinking this is just a small thermostat issue, we took it in this grey morning to have it looked at. Three hours later we get the call.

$600.00.

ACK...SIX H_U_N_D_R_E_D dollars.

Blah.

Oh well, at least we can lay our hands on it and get the van fixed, but...ACK...the rain! The pouring!
