kismet09okay, i really don't have time to post today because my to-do list is a mile long and i haven't started and i'm leaving work right after my 11:00 appointment, but i feel the need to say something, so i am.
sara is done, we decided not to fix her, the mechanics say that even if we invest in the new engine, the transmission is likely to go in 2 years or so. we emailed chrysler to let them know that the car they sold us three years ago just died completely, that the mechanics and a lot of people we know have seen the same problems with neons around 75K miles, and that it was unfortunate that they were selling such a car on a 60 month lease when they knew that the car might completely die even before payments were up. we weren't really expecting empathy, and we got none, so there's that.
today we're headed to VA to pick up Jeremiah, or Maya for short, who will be a green 2003 Subaru Forester. we can't really afford Maya so well, but we'll figure it out. it just means buying less mochas and going out to cheaper restaurants, so there's our excuse for checking out all the hole-in-the-wall ethnic places, right? we're leasing, not buying, and the mileage limit that they're putting on us will mean we have to stay within the miles/years on the powertrain warranty, so i guess that's a good thing. i've been wanting a forester anyway, and i'm starting to get excited, even though i'm horribly concerned about
i'm so glad that i get to work at home tomorrow - just not having to make the 35 minute commute each way will help me find enough time to get everything set for work on monday. i've never been so busy, which must be why all this crazy car stuff, and the stress of a third dog (i'm dogsitting for two months - i've mentioned that, right?) is happening right now.
