Almost at the finish line... but tripped on a life-lemon

General
UPDATE (added Nov. 9
Looks like it may have just needed a new battery after all.
Old:
=================
We were just SO close... I was saying to Lina "I think with that last commission I took today, we will be able to pay the power bill and make it to your next check". Less than an hour later we go to the car and when I turned the key the horn honked, lishts flashed, doors locked, wipers squirted and wiped all at once! Everything but starting. Tried to jump it, that didn't help.
Ugh.... life.
"I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these!?!"
Anyway, it's been towed they'll be looking at it today. It's evidently a common thing with this model. It's going to be 1 of 3 things:
1. Loose bolt causing a short
2. Needs new wires
3. Needs a new alternator
3 is the expensive one I'm hoping not to get. And no matter which one, we will have to pay for the tow at minimum.
So freaking close to having 5 minutes to sit and rest and not worry. So close...
I've considered doing my Black Friday sale in multiple waves, and offer different deals on different days. What do you think?

You could open a emergency commission just in case.
Or you could do something else. Like something random.
What you do with lemons is you get Cave Johnson's lemon gun and shoot those lemons back at life.
Thank you, Portal 2
...so you gave your car an orgasm?

We're getting it back today. Looks like it just needed a battery replacement. Time will tell
