Along the same lines as @[email protected], my wife got semi-stranded by her car. She was able to start it and drive to an errand, but it wouldn't start a second time.

I've heard modern car batteries don't give you much notice, but geeze! She got a jump from AAA and I installed a new battery from NAPA. I was pretty discouraged when the new battery didn't fix it... it turns out the new battery wasn't fully charged. We jumped it and let it charge for a while and all is good.

We also had to have our well worked on and our driveway got sealed so we can't drive on it for another few days. Lots of maintenance/repairs going on!

Ah, sometimes it seems like everything breaks at the same time, doesn't it?! I can sympathize with your wife, I also once was stranded due to an empty car battery.

Hope everything is fixed for you and it goes back to normal soon! Especially the well. Bacterial infections are really dangerous.
