My husband had to go into work this morning at five o’clock. I usually get up when he gets up and start making coffee and get my day started. He has an automatic car starter because it is cold in the mornings. This morning, he couldn’t get his car started from the house. He turned off our connecticut home SecuritY alarm and went outside to see if he could get his car cranked so that he could warm it up before he left for work. He was surprised to find out that he couldn’t even open the car door with the clicker. He manually opened the door and tried to start the car. No lights came on. There was absolutely no response from the car. The battery was completely dead. He was frantic and ran in the house announcing that he needed to take my car. I started stressing out because I had to be at work at eight in the morning. Finally, I decided that I would just drop him off at work. I won’t be doing that again. The hospital is thirty minutes from our house. I hit traffic on the way back and it took me almost fifty minutes to get home! |
