I sold my car.
The car that was my grandma's and came to me, even though both my mom and my aunt had their eyes on it. It's the only thing that my grandma promised me I could have that I actually got -- btw mom, I will be taking the flatware when I get married -- and didn't disappear into mom or aunt's secret hiding places. I'm sad to lose it. Very good car. With the fuzzy dice in the windows, and the Diddle hanging in the back, and all my best driving CDs ... sigh.
But really, no one was offering to pay for the storage and insurance and maintenance for the three or so years that I'll be overseas. Not to mention the bills that the money from the sale will pay off. So, it's a bittersweet kind of thing, I guess.
Also, major shout-out to Jenn who sat in traffic for HOURS giving me a ride home. I loff you.
Today was the last day of work at the barn. This afternoon is the funeral for my Uncle's mom. This coming week is the last normal week (well, as normal as my weeks get) for a long while. To get more hours with Borders I've agreed to help with the Midtown store's rennovation. That means almost two weeks of overnights. Icky. But money is rather necessary for, ya know, stuff.
Time for bath, nap, and Turkish before we leave.
