Murphy's Law

Well, Murphy strikes again.  The day after I said I was going to start posting in this blog again, my computer dies.  Poor old Murphy did me in again.

Fortunately, with my husband working, I am now able to use his computer during the day. This will allow me to update a bit more frequently.

Another thing Murphy's law bit me on was our new car.  We shopped until we dropped and finally found a 2011 Chevy HHR that my dad could get in and out of with no problem.  I could also get his wheelchair or his walker in and out of the back easily.  Dad said the car needed a grab bar on either the window pillar or above the door.  The dealership said that could be done, so we bought the car.  However, they could not do it until the following week. The whole weekend Dad complained that the car didn't have a bar in it.  We told him it would be done, but he still grumbled about it.  The following Monday I took the car back to the dealership.  They kept it the whole week and then informed me at 4:00 pm on Friday night that it couldn't be placed where dad wanted it.  Mike, dad and I went back to the dealership that evening.  Dad looked around and said that if they put it on the dash, the grab bar would work.  We kept the car over the weekend and the following Tuesday I took it back to the dealer ship.  That has been nine days ago and they still have the car.  I talked to them on Monday and they said they were waiting for the parts to come in.  I hope it works out because I really don't want to go car shopping again.

Peace and long life.
