An unexpected day off work -- my car has been having issues, and I made an appointment with the dealer to check it out.  The "service traction control" light, along with the ABS light has been coming on every now and then, and the AC temp solenoid of some sort in the dash makes a clicking noise when the AC isn't running.  Irritating, but not a problem.  The other is.  So.  I loaded up a bag full of things to do to keep myself busy while I wait for my car -- and lucky me, they have a shuttle service to drive me home!  Which is a good thing, because I'm nursing a strained muscle in my back. 

My service tech just called with the bad news:  there's a wheel hub in the left front that deals with the traction control that's bad, needs to be replaced, along with that AC solenoid.   But he had some good news to share as well:  These repairs will be covered under my warranty!  w00t!  That's pretty darned awesome!!   They recommended a wheel alignment of course, for $99.  I figured as long as it was in there, and is close to 50k miles, to do the trans service as well, and change the oil.  Then I'm all set for a trip to California.....  yay!

Now I just wait for the repairs to be complete, and they send the shuttle out to pick me up.  This day has gone much better than I expected!   

Bianca.... you'll be good to go really soon!
