The repair shop came through sort of and got me a rental car so I could still visit the family in Omaha. They got called to tell me this at 5:41pm on Thursday--well after both Loren and I had changed our Friday plans. The result was losing a day of visiting time but at least we made it down there. Also, the car they gave me had no cruise control, leading me to wonder if the guy I have been working with at LaMettry's is vindictive or just incompetent. For an update, he told me yesterday that my car would be ready today... I am still waiting for him to call. I called him a few minutes ago and got his voicemail. Don't go to LaMettry's.
I got a new pair of shoes last night. I also got the new lego pirate ship. Since I am a Lego VIP member, I got $15 off AND a free little bucket for the "pick-a-brick" wall. Not a bad value.
I also got promoted at work today... so good thing I didn't call in so I could build the pirate ship--I thought about it pretty hard.
