I am ready for the bad news to stop. The engine burned up in my car, three weeks from getting it. The pathetic thing is, it has not been visibly leaking oil, the temp gauge has been reading normal, and the oil light did not come on until after the car stopped and started knocking. I'd just dumped damn near everything I had into the green car, and now mine needs 2500. I'd seriously love a week without a nervous breakdown. Yeah.
On other news, the loaded conversations have resumed, and I can't get an honest answer out of him. Yeah, it's my fault for listening, but still. I know he feels trapped, and I know that's a horrible feeling. So, I'm going to give him his wings and make sure he knows he is a free person. Hopefully, in a few months, the situation will be one where he is again comfortable in the situation or he will leave of his own will. We always joke around about what would we do without the other, but I think it's coming to the point that can't be a joke anymore. I'm just going to try to give him a little nest egg of sorts, and make sure he knows he's independent in it. I hope that's all it is, and that what I overheard is not true.
On the bright side of things, I'm almost 1/3 of the way done with the final assignment in geography. Whee.
