Hey hope that all is well and your Thursday is moving right along! All’s well here. Just a typical very calm Thursday here and the wonky weather. Hot but the threat of storms exist. We had some rain yesterday and I didn’t know it except for looking at the street and seeing it was wet.
I’ve been waiting for this news for a couple years and it dropped yesterday. My mistake making co-worker is having another kid. Due date is January. That’s going to fuck the on-call schedule as well as me because we will all have to pick up his slack. Everyone but me was happy when he made the announcement. I kind of figured something was up when he called me out of the blue last week. I knew that he wanted another kid. That’s news that I could have gone without hearing but the cats out of the bag so to speak. I will just have to make the best of it because there is no other choice. Hearing this I might just use up all of my vacation this year and carry over nothing just to get away.
I managed to hit a personal savings goal yesterday. It is something that I wanted for a few months now and glad that I was able to achieve it. I plan to keep on saving, despite still having new car fever.
I read some NHTSA complaints that other owners of my same vehicle had. Lots of people say that their coolant runs low and it drains into the spark plugs and screws up the engine. There were several complaints about that. Some had little mileage and others were either at or over what I have, which is 66 thousand. It’s a 2017 and I treat it good and it’s treated me pretty good in return. However, thinking about the unknown makes me want to get out while the getting is good, despite not wanting to jump back into car payment and higher insurance cost. Unless I manage to change my mind I am going to gamble and try to make it one more year and then next year around this time or possibly shortly after my birthday trade it and get something new. If I can keep growing my savings I should be in really good shape. I just have a personal struggle with getting rid of this. I think of it more like a person than a vehicle and honestly I form a pretty strong bond with all of my vehicles. It’s tough to part ways.
Finished off my wrap yesterday and the last of the pizza. Didn’t have any bullet train experience so not really sure what got me Tuesday. Had a peanut butter snack bar for lunch with a mini Coke Zero. Pulling something out of the freezer for supper tonight. Got to take the trash out and it would be too easy to give in to my McDonald’s craving that I still have, which sounds so good.
Glad that were closer to the weekend. My food plans thus far are to hit up a different Red Lobster to see if I can get the Crab Carbonara, planning that for Saturday. Sunday thinking of the Mexican place not too far away. Thinking about the good food I can almost taste it. I need to start making a list of places I want to hit up when I am on vacation at the end of the month. There are other more responsible things I should do as well but procrastination sounds more appealing.
Take care!
