Back In The Saddle Again

Or at least the driver's seat! I got my car back today. (Thanks, Paul!) Monica, Louise and I drove to Alabama to meet up with Paul and Kristi, to drive my car, which Paul so kindly fixed for me, back home. It's good to be behind the wheel again, and even though it was a 3-4 hour drive back home, I didn't mind it one bit (except for all the police that were out and about.)

Paul still has our other Saturn at his shop, and will work on it as time allows, but we're back to 2 cars again, which is good, because the clutch on Monica's truck is about to go out, and I'll probably be driving HER around in the near future! *sigh* At least we work the same shift a few days during the week, so we can carpool and give the truck a bit of a break (and save on gas money too.) So all in all, things have improved.

On the home front, we put a new offer on another house yesterday (since we lost the first one to a cash offer), and should know something one way or another by Friday. This isn't the type of house I thought we'd move into, but it's only a few years old, and it's completely "move in" ready. Nothing, that we know of anyway, requires any work, and we can move in and start living straight away (as soon as we figure out how to get our large, heavy furniture up all of those stairs!)

Anyway, I'll have more information on that front later this week. Have a great Labor Day everyone, and stay safe. Peace.
