I am looking for a new car. The car that needs the repairs is 13 years old and in addition to needing $1400 worth of repair just to make it road safe also has some sort of engine condition that is "only a matter of time" until THAT would kill it.
So for now I'm driving H's truck. LOL! Just imagine how much he likes that For that matter, imagine how much I like that - not too much. The truck is big for one thing, much bigger than I am comfortable with. And its a gas hog and a half so now it costs me about $12 per day to drive to work instead of $8.
But, winter MIGHT be ending shortly so then H can go back to riding his MLC motorcycle and I can drive his car. At least until I find a car of my own.
AJM, I too see the sunny side of that crazy day - could have been much worse. Well, maybe not much worse than cat-poop-dog-vomit lol. But the dogs weren't injured and didn't do any injuring either. My car DIDN'T fall apart on me or YIKES!! my kids while being driven. H isn't home... and I don't really know if that's good or bad? Its bad in the sense that it means his folks aren't well enough to take care of themselves - but I don't honestly know if its good or bad re: me, or, "us". Its certainly NOT financially good. The kids haven't had much to say about H's absence one way or another. I don't think H talks to them much, but I'm not really sure. H does always want to know what's going on with them, so at least he hasn't lost all interest.
The financial bug-a-boo is definitely rearing its ugly head though. There is a chance that my WONDERFUL JOB might go full time in July (fingers crossed, toes crossed) but $ is to the point that now I am considering putting in for some closing shifts at fast food land I really, really really don't want to have to do this. It would mean working 8pm until at least 1am and closing fast food is a fair amount of physical work. Left to my own devices I am in bed by 10 at the latest. And just normal fast food shifts leave me achy. Going to look for another alternative - no idea what this might be, but hopefully something better than fast food.
Thank you, Wishing,Hoping and AJM for stopping by and sharing in the cat-poop-dog-vomit (some things just have to be shared!) To both of you and to anyone else reading this ~ hope the sunshine finds you

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
For that matter, imagine how much
