Loss of freedom

My mom's freedom is short-lived. She went to IGA and picked up some Dollar Day specials. Then she went to Superstore to fill up her gas tank before going inside to do more grocery shopping. She never got to go inside because the van broke down again and it had to be towed back to the garage.

My mom is not upset at the mechanic because he is a trusted friend. He always helps us out. Yesterday, he tried his best to get our van fixed so that we could have it back for the weekend. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked out.

While waiting for the tow truck, the sky turned dark and it started to pour. Then it hailed. My mom was wishing that the tow truck would not arrive so soon. She got her wish because it stopped raining by the time the tow truck arrived.
