I’m thankful for lots of things, but I haven’t been doing the 28 Days of Thankfulness this year. I’m a little discombobulated and that just felt like one more thing I’d have to keep up with and feel guilty if I got behind on. That’s not the intention, but that’s how I felt. I’m feeling some odd feelings lately, but the grief lady says that’s OK.
But today, I am particularly thankful for Donald and Kathy Robbins. They take good care of me. Today, they took care of my battery issue. I needed a man to do a nasty job for me, not because I couldn’t do it, but because unfortunately, some places treat you differently if you’re a woman than if you’re a man. (Just for the record, the Chevrolet Center in Winter Haven is one of those places!) I had taken myself down there twice and called on the phone and every person I talked to told me something different. No one wanted to be helpful and everyone just kept giving me the runaround. Unfortunately, I had to deal with them, since that’s where my battery came from. They were pretty icky - and they made me cry. I almost cried because I was so mad at them, and then I got even more mad because I almost cried. Mr. Donald took my battery out of my car, took it back to them, and didn’t leave until they did what they could have done on Monday. Then, he and Mrs., Kathy brought it back and he put it BACK in my car. They even tried to give him a little run-around, but he just “out-stubborned” them.
It shouldn’t’ have to be this way, but I’m glad they took care of it for me. I’m thankful for them. They had other things they could have been doing, but they took care of me! I’m very grateful for them.
