Brother fixed car,gift card surprise, fishing trip soon in Life of a cat mom

My brother Tom came over. We discovered the starter we ordered was wrong. It was the second one. Tom said it was made for a 4 piston car not a 6 piston car. I have no idea how he knows this.He called and talked to the manager she figured out what happened. When we came in she walked up with the correct one. I told Tom hopefully this is right this time I can’t wait to get my car back on the road. The manager handed my brother a $20 gift card as an apology for their mistakes. I thanked the manager. Tom help me install the starter and when it turned over I cried. I was so delighted. We tried to pull out for the motor to shut off. Tom test drove it and taped the idle open a little so it wouldn’t shut off completely.

My brother Tom knows I haven’t been out in weeks so he took me to Books A Million. I love reading. Tom bought several books. After Books A Million I begged my brother to go into Spirit Halloween. I was having fun looking around. I could tell he was just there to please me. I appreciate his attempt. Nobody in my life loves Halloween like I do besides my best friend Tella.

My boss Gina isn’t happy with me leaving. I work very hard for this company but due to her pregnancy she thinks insulting me would work well in her favor. She said I was a liar. I don’t work hard enough and how everything isn’t perfect it the kitchen.. she is OCD. When I told her I found another job at the daycare I explained to her I wanted to become a teacher my entire life and now I have a chance. I gave her my 2 week notice. She turned red in the face but thanked me for going through my 2 week notice. She realized running her mouth to me won’t benefit her now. She has been quiet. It has been so peaceful.

I start working at the daycare in September after my fishing trip that I won in a raffle. I am grateful the car is fixed because my husband and I are looking forward to this trip.

I am sitting by the breakfast bar before everyone comes downstairs to eat. I hope my life gets better.
