General Update This Week

by mapgirl on March 21, 2008

I wish I had more to say right now. There seems like there should be a lot but there isn’t.

1. I’ve been sick as a dog and working from home. Sleep is good. It’s put my wedding trip into jeopardy though. I’m afraid I won’t be able to drive to Jersey tonight. That would be traumatic as I have been waiting for this wedding for 11 years.

2. I decided that I really want to be able to go home to my apartment. I had a discussion with my boyfriend and neither one of us is ready to move in with the other permanently. I gave my friend a deadline of May 1st, not to be mean, but to motivate her in finding her own place. I suppose part of the reason was because of #1 above. I was really sick this week and I really wanted to be at my own home. Dorothy was right. There is no place like home.

3. In preparation for the drive to Jersey, I took the car in for an oil change and a brake job. I noticed something funny when I was stepping on the brake, but paid it no mind. Boyfriend likes to tinker around with his car and pointed out same funny sound to me, making me step on the brake in various ways to test it out. I am still waiting to pick up the car from the dealer and find out what the damage is going to cost. There is also a CV joint that is slowly leaking as well. I was told about it before, but held off on it till the calendar year changed. I vow to drive this car till it dies, but will it nickel and dime me to death in repairs first?

In measuring and deciding what to do about all these things, I am holding on still to a lot of cash for now. Cash hoarding seems like the best thing for the next 3 months as I have to attend 3 weddings.

Hope you are soon feeling better and that you get your place back AND make it to the wedding! That’s an awfully long time to wait, so I hope you get to witness it. Feel better! :)
