Ophelia is sick

I had the day off yesterday and my mom came over to watch the kids so Peter and I could run some errands. We had a few things to do in Daytona and stopped a couple places on the way home. The last stop we had for the day was at Pearle Vision where I had to pick up my prescription sunglasses. When we got back in the car she wouldn't start. Peter had this same problem last week but after I jumped the Civic from the Odyssey she started up alright and then Peter let her sit for a while and she seemed fine again. Peter asked someone in the parking lot if he could use their battery to give our car a jump but after we tried that it didn't work. Eventually we had a friend come pick us up and take us home so mom could get going. Peter had already had the battery checked after the last incident so we knew that wasn't the problem. He had also cleaned the terminals and any areas where a connection is made to ensure there was no corrosion or blockage. The car stayed in the parking lot overnight and then today I left work a little early and we went out to see if we could get her started. Still no luck. Peter called for roadside assistance and we had her towed to a local mechanic that our friend uses.

Update* She's all better. Ophelia was in need of a new starter and the mechanic was able to get the part in and fix her up in just one day.
