It's probably not very good that the only updating of the LJ I've done has been of character journals, mostly with logs. Sometimes with vignettes. Once with drawings ( Read more... )

Hah. I'm still so wound up from last night that I can't finish my oatmeal and my stomach is turning knots. What the fuck, right? This really doesn't reflect my usual stress-coping mechanisms ( Read more... )

The Whubble is in for an oil change on Tuesday. They might have a look at the ventilation system to see what's rattling, though I'm not terribly concerned about it for now ( Read more... )

In about ten minutes I'll be heading out to the bus stop. I will catch the bus, and will go all the way to Waterville. I will there pick up my car, and write out a check totaling more than half my personal monetary wealth at the time (including the savings account which houses some marriage and grad money), and then I will drive my car home in ( Read more... )

My car's transmission is being rebuilt. But, I'll get a brand new transmission for 1800$, and then it should run well for a good, long time. Mum is checking this account that she and dad have been depositing money into for me since I was little to see what we can take out of there. I can get 1000$ or so on the credit card right now, and then we'll ( Read more... )

Guess I'm not going berry picking on Monday. No car 'til then, for sure. Apparently, they'll probably just start looking at it on Monday. Ah well. I'm hoping to swap out a shift with Emily, so... we'll see if that works out.

The gym this morning was good. I finished Herodotus, and did a whole bunch of cardio. Or, well, about thirty minutes on the bike, but I worked hard and got very sweaty, so I'm feeling good about it ( Read more... )

The timing belt recommendation for the Whubble? Yeah, based entirely on the mileage. It would've been great if they'd told me that at the time, rather than just, "The technician recommends you get your timing belt changed really soon." Of course, I didn't ask. (Had I known it was done in Alberta, I'd've asked at the time, but I wasn't sure ( Read more... )

And with today's running mostly done, my Acadia account is showing a balance of 0$ owing. That's right, I'm paid up! I even did the health and dental stuff that I plan to opt out of, 'cause I figure if nothing else that money can go toward the physio appointments which will continue to be billed to my account, and, if there's leftovers, can go ( Read more... )

And there's new oil in the Whubble. And apparently the timing belt needs to be replaced soon. Considering the amount of driving I'm going to be doing in the next little bit, I've decided to let 'soon' mean 'now'. So I'm scheduled in for Wednesday. I am gonna ask to see it, just so I know... but I do generally trust Butt's not to rip me off ( Read more... )
