Just Pass Me By

Boy I am having the time of my life lately. I am not having fun at work, it’s a difficult job, everything employment wise for hubby and I seem a little up in the air okay I can handle this it called temp work. Eventually a company will want to hire us on so i am not letting it get to me. This morning I lift for work. Ever have one of those days where you should have just stayed in bed. I think I am having a month of I should have just not woke up this morning and remained in my nice warm bed.

I lift for work and smelled a mild smell of gas, I thought nothing of it because I was near the gas station at the time and it seemed to dissipate, I got to work on time. I was anti social I just did not want to talk to anyone after what happened Friday. I lift work and smelled gas when I started up my van. Hmm odd this hasn’t happened before.

I got home and the gas smell was very strong, I thought nothing of it because the engine was running fun and there was no sign of any leaking yet. I decided to treat my self to a bagel, because hubby is going out with a friend tonight to watch the game. I got to my bagel place, yummy all i could think about is the smoke salmon sandwhich I was going to eat for dinner. Yummy.. it was good. When I parked I noticed the gas smell was sicking strong, and the hood was steaming. Last time I had a car steam this much it was because the water pump decided it was going to break down, but the van wasn’t over heating, and it was running smoothly still. So i figured maybe it the coldness outside and it just being strange.

Well I got out of the bagel place and the van smelled badly of gas. I turned on the car, when I lift the gas was just over 3/4 tanks lift. I was thinking I have enough gas to last me the rest of this week and next week since i work close to home. I turned on the car it had used up 2 bars of gas. My heart sank, by the time I drove the van home, my gas was well under a half tank. This is not good I got it into the garage and popped the hood. It the roof was all wet this is bad it smells like gas. Well i didn’t realize i got what ever it was in my hair, which it was gas because that what my head smelt like. There roof foam or what ever it was is soaking wet with Gas.

Great time to call the mechanic who I bought the car from and tell him what going on he ask me what I think it was. My first response is well there gas allover the place, so it gotta be something to do with the gas. I am not sure if it the pump, the fuel, or some other thing to do with the fuel system. Great just what I need I just got the car in September. So I kindof fell it should always need a tow to the mechanic, but I guess that how the cookies crumbling today. I spent 1200 on a car that already needing repairs. Wonderful…. I can’t drive the van if it spraying out gas all over the place.
