Before coming to Illinois I was smitten with the idea of life without a car. Part of my college-picking criteria was how good the bus system was.
Well, I was in Europe all summer so never got around to selling it. So I drove it to Illinois, and here it sits.
Plan #2, sell car in Illinois. Never got around to it. Life is busy, and frankly, it feels good to drive. I like the idea that I can go visit my grandparents whenever I feel like it too. So I decided to keep it.
Well, I don't use it. Once every two weeks I waste several hours treking across town to my car and giving it some exercise. Seriously, that has been the only reason I have used my car for the last 6 weeks, just to keep it running. And it's not happy about that. It wants more loving. It's getting cranky.
So do I become a complete slave to my car and keep it company multiple times a week, or do I get rid of the nuisance?
And on an unrelated note, this was the 5th morning out of the last 8 in which my internet was not working. And my phone decided to delete all its pictures. And I need a halloween costume for tonight. I thought the weekends were supposed to be easier than the week...
