Fixing the Car?
“What you doing?” Cindy asked.
“The car won’t start.” Jess told her as she examined the car engine.
“So why not call a mechanic?”
“They’re too expensive. Besides, I fix the tractor regularly.”
“Yes fix it regularly, because it keeps breaking down. Do you even have the right tools?” Cindy asked.
“Of course I do. Anyway I believe it’s fixed, see if you can start it.” Jess suggested. Cindy got in the front seat and turned the key, but nothing happened. “Okay, maybe it’s something else?” Cindy rolled her eyes. What would it take for Jess to admit defeat?

I’ve been ill over the last few days which is why I haven’t been writing much. I’m feeling a bit better tonight and hoping this is going to continue.
Please support this blog – Ko-fi 🙂

Hope you get better. And it is so real. Some people really keep doing things that they are not good at. Some even make a career out of it despite all their grudges.

If you convince yourself that your car is fixed, it is considered fixed.
