Here is my first Slice of Life Story Challenge post. Dressed, packed and ready, I tippy-tapped out the door in my church shoes, threw my bags in the car, climbed in and stuck in the key. I turned the key, but instead of the expected hum of the engine, all I heard was a click - click - click noise. “This is not good”, I thought. I tried again. Blinking lights and click - click - click. I just replaced the battery about a week ago and this seems strangely similar. So I climbed out of the car, went inside and called my dad for two reasons. First, to let him know that I won’t be out for church, dinner and to get the paper and second, to ask advice. Usually, my dad is the one to come to my rescue, but as my mom is now too sick to leave alone, I have to rely on other resources. So, here I am stuck at home probably until tomorrow.
On the bright side, I don’t have any jobs at church this morning. I don’t have to work tomorrow due to the Casimir Pulaski holiday. This gave me some material for my first Slice of Life post, but I hope all the days of March aren’t like this!

Last March my first slice was about being sick. The month looked up from there. Things will get better... you'll see!
What a tough way to begin the month but you are doing a great job of looking on the bright side.
Hoping the sick car is just temporary and easily fixed.
In like a lion, out like a lamb...isn't that what they say about March? Good luck with the car!
Sorry about your car. I hope you salvaged the day by treating yourself to something nice at home.
