Just great, no heat

Last night, my husband and I lift the mechanic at close t 130 am maybe a little later. At the start of the day it was 22F by the time we lift it was -15. Okay this is bitterly cold, and not pleasant even with heat one. Our mechanic shop was maybe 40 degrees if that. He doesn’t use a lot of heat because his heating bill is a little high. I said it was cold and he did turn up the heat. While waiting for van to be finished, the wind started to pick up okay we knew we have up to 40 mile a hour wind gust and it was -6 when we got there, 4 hours later it was -15.
The heater has been working but not pushing out enough heat in my van but I haven’t really worried a whole lot about it, because it would heat up very slowly and I figured by the time I drove for about 15 minutes the car would be nice and warm. Wrong was I. I guess the Heater is another problem to fix in the van, Just great no heat in the van now. Boy this van going to cost me more money, then I feel it aught. To bad I can’t give my van an employee performance evaluation I would right now tell it many places I need it to improve on. Wouldn’t it be great if fixing cars worked like that. You could just tell it what you wanted fix and suddenly the heater would be fix. I would love to have that option.
By the time I had gotten to the under ground garage in my apartment, my face and feet felt frozen. My husband was a little worried I got froze bit but I know I didn’t because I was away from the wind. Well, I went to step out of my van into the nice warm garage and when I step on my foot, I thought I might just kill over from pain in my foot. They where so fold to the touch when I got into the apartment. In Minnesota it is important to have a heater in the vehicle which works well. Well at least I will not have to worry about the van suddenly stopping working. I think a bigger concern would be my right front tire, flying off while driving, I am going to try to deal with that soon.
