korafoxThe good news: My van is still technically driveable.
The bad news: I had to take my van to a mechanic for making funky engine noises, and it turns out part of the exhaust system is rusted through. This means that I don't get to use the heat (the A/C was already broken), and I have to crack the windows while I drive because otherwise I might die of carbon monoxide poisoning. Fixing the problem on this 15-year-old vehicle would have cost about a grand (and we just shelled out a similar amount to fix the other vehicle last Friday), and that is $1000 that is much better spent on a new car.
So, sometime after the holidays, I am going to get to learn the joys of buying a car. I am just thrilled at this prospect, of course, and am already having anticipatory sticker shock.
To counteract this crappy, crappy day, however, husband gave me my Christmas present early.
He got me a vest!!! A snazzy vest that actually fits me!!! I have no words for how much the dapper genderqueer side of me is jumping up and down for joy right now. I am looking forward to having an occasion to wear it. So much love to husband, who knows I would never have been able to buy this for myself. : )
