Shadow is home… yay…

left work a bit early so I could go and collect her… two weeks in the carspital seemed like forever to me…

I still would forget what the udrive car looked like when I was in parking lots, lol… thank goodness I took that picture the first day…

when I arrived at DonVito on Sargent the process was smooth… after I returned the rental they walked me around the car and explained everything that had been done to her… my biggest concern was that the colour wouldn’t match the rest of her, but happily it was perfect…

then, as I was getting ready to drive away, I realized my parking pass was in the rental car… turned off the car, went in and got someone to fetch it… then when I got back into the car, it chattered and did not start…

went back in and was told that I shouldn’t have turned it off for 15 to 20 minutes after it had been boosted… there didn’t seem to be any clarity on why the battery was dead…

a young woman mechanic came out and got it going… I drove around for half an hour to be sure there was enough time for the battery to charge before getting gas and returning home…

thankfully it started after the fill…

we will see what happens in the morning…

so happy to have her back…
