I'm still smiling...
With the freedom of driving a car comes the responsibilty of minor repairs and other reasons to sacrifice a morning to your car...
Today I went and fixed my brakes and my A/C. I woke a friend up early and probably ruined the last day of his vacation to show me where the mechanic guy is. We go for coffee while we wait for the mechanic to fix my car. We go get the car and he drives it around to test it and then thinks he will set me on my way home. I surprise him with my question about a place to change the oil and all the other things one should change in the engine. So, he gets in his car and I follow him to a gas station. Once there he helps get the people to start doing what I want... I know he hates doing this shit for his own car and I ask him to leave. He makes sure all is well and he leaves. I watch the gas station attendant clean my car and I am happy.
A few minutes later I turn around and my friend is there... he came back so that I don't have to wait alone. I couldn't help but smile about that. Actually, I still can't help but smile. I think it means a lot that he had already left and was supposed to meet some friends that he hasn't seen in a long time. He was very much looking forward to being with them. He was already one his way... but he turned around and sacrificed a few more hours of the last day of his vacation.
I was not bitter about being in the gas station alone. I was not bitter at all that he left. I was grateful he sacrificed his morning to get my brakes done... but seeing him come back has made me smiley, giggly, and happy all day.
It is just cute when people are nice..
It's funny how the small things people do can make such a difference..
It is funny how perfect people can be.
It is cute how sweet this guy can be.

I said i'm gonna do so and so and he said okay it's still early and we'll go. guess what? in the end I ended up going alone!
