Super Starter

Today I pulled something in my neck.  Ouch!  I can barely turn it to the right.  A normal day, but had to run to the bank after we picked Ben up from school.  On hot days, if I run the car too long it won’t start.  This is a problem when I have to run to the bank and then go anywhere else after that.  No drive troughs in Brasil as far as I have seen, so I have learned how to park.  I have to walk a bit longer but I park on a hill so that my car will roll and I can then put it in second gear, let off the clutch and away we go.  I am an absolute pro now at starting a car in second. 
Anyway, on my way home from the grocery store I called Rodrigo and he told me that we were going to have family stay the night.  I called him to see if he wanted me to bring him lunch but after the news, I went straight home and started cleaning.  I organized, did laundry, cleaned, made salsa & cooked dinner for hours.  No, this isn’t the first time but it was worse today because I had a kink in my neck.   By the time I hit school I was exhausted.  Well, at least chores are done and house is clean…but for how long?
