Well, I had my ‘event’ and it went very very well and I have great hopes….
however when I stopped to get gas on the way back to the room (because Spawn and I were going to go to the beach and get roasted and drive home tomorrow) the unthinkable happened…
The thermostat did it’s thing. Into the red zone.
So we have spent the afternoon at a car repair shop – they JUST got it up in the air and brought us back to the room.
I’m about done with this car. I thought I could cope with it for a few years, recoup, get a sizeable down payment…
Nope. Don’t think it’s gonna happen….
zee's muse 
Glad it went well! (and car — poo on car)
Right now, we are at the ends of the available funds. We NEED to check out tomorrow. SPawn is looking at transferring funds to pay for it – praying it’s not a huge amount. If it’s the thermostat – probably around 50.00 parts and labor. If it’s more…. I can’t. I just can’t.
At least the interview is done.and the car waited until after that.
will cross fingers that it’s manageable. I really hope the interview pays off!
I do to. I wouldn’t mind moving back to the coast to be honest. Hotter than snot and sand gnats (NoSeeEms) but right now I can SMELL the beach and Spawn and I are determined to spend some time there before this is over.
I think the car has reached the end 😦 Hope everything else works out as you would like it to.
750.00 to repair. I’m stuck here…. trying to crunch numbers now….
oh man.
yeah. Very unhappy. We’re eyeing Mickey Dee’s for dinner… and watching a movie here at the motel tonight. I’m seeing a GOOD cry in my near future.
that uniquely American blend of fat, salt and sugar can definitely be comforting. Hugs.
I have some DVD’s with me – including The Hobbit. We MIGHT watch that tonight.
Crap. ANOTHER silver hair.
