Feverish...

**Note: this was a post for Friday, Jan 9, but I have having internet issues!**

My day off, and I get a fever!!! It sucks.

I had the chills last night, but it was cold outside, so I just thought maybe I was really cold....but then I got home and got the aches and pains in addition to the chills. I took 1/4 dose of Nyquill just so I could sleep better, and woke up feeling groooooogggggyyyy!! I hate that stuff. So, I went to the gym, ran some errands and downed 2 cups of coffee thinking that would perk me up! It hyped me up a bit, but still didn't feel 100%.

I finally took my temp and it was 101.5! SO, I tried to lay down, but was too awake from the coffee! After a few tylenol and lounging on the couch, I felt much better. Within 3 1/2 hours, I was starting to fell bad again....tylenol was starting to wear off! Took some more and I'm feeling much better.

The suckiest part is that Hubby and I were supposed to go to dinner with friends tonight and we have to postpone!!! AGAIN! Oh well, I'd rather feel good and have fun, then go and be miserable!

So, off to

I'm not as stupid as you think....

I'm a girly girl! I don't love the outdoors and I don't know much about cars, BUT, I do know when my car is all jacked up!
So, after a lot of time researching, ranting, and running my poor car all over town to have this and that looked at, it's finally fixed!!!
My mechanic got the PCV valve from the subaru dealership and replaced it today!! As soon as I started it, it was purring like a kitten! He saved the old valve that the Valvoline guys used and lemme tell ya, it didn't look new! I don't know where it came from, but it looked either used or like the same freakin' part that was already in my car! Lesson: PCV valves rattle when they are working properly but don't when they are clogged....
So, I took it to Valvoline and demanded my money back. The manager was all smug and shook the valve and it rattled and he made a smart comment about it being fine! I told him, that yes, it might rattle, but it looked all gummed up and that as soon as the other part was in my car an hour earlier, it was running perfectly! He didn't like that and gave me the money back. He asked where I got the part and who did it. Of course I told him that I got the part directly from Subaru and my mechanic did it without charging me LABOR! I paid double at Valvoline for that part!!! I'm sure he thought I was just a stupid girl that wouldn't question diddly about it! WRONG! I won't go down without a fight and I'm sure as hell not gonna let you walk all over me!
I will NEVER go there again. I will have Hubby changing the oil from now on and all maintenance will be done by my mechanic.
Just don't piss me off and we'll all get along fine!
