This is not a good morning for me. I’m sick with this flu that’s been going around and now my check engine light is on. I was heading to work, which is about 45 minutes away from home this morning. The light was on, the car smelled funny, and I swear it feels different.

I did put more oil yesterday, so that could have contributed to the smell. The car felt a bit off, like a little bit of rattling. *sighs*

I called work and they understand. No need for me to take the chance and possibly get stranded somewhere. I work in a rural area, so I’m a bit more leery of the drive. Less people to see me if I break down.

I’m taking the car to the mechanics as soon as they open today. Let’s hope it’s nothing major.
