So I test drove a car today. A Hyundai Tuscon. It’s a nice car and drives really well. It was 18+k My car is worth 3k (they say) but I can put 5k down and only have payments of
$357 A MONTH
The guy asked me what I could afford - I said between 200 & 250 and I think he overshot it.
So no new car now….maybe if I get a new job that pays better. Or decide I don’t need to eat.
Luckily - I don’t need a new car - I just want one.
Now - I am going to take some migraine medicine because I have a (guess what) migraine, and my shoulder is killing me because it’s going to rain tomorrow or Monday.
My first full week back at work. I survived. I am not caught up, in any way but I DON’T CARE I can only get done what I can get done.
This weekend - I plan on cleaning up the house - getting everything away and finishing the laundry and that stuff, I am going to catch up on all my dvr shows….I have like 3 night stalkers left, Bones, and some bad TV movies to watch. I want to go test drive a car and I have to go food shopping
It’s 8 am I just spent 1.67 at Amazon (my parents got me a 50$ gift card for the sorry you had to go back to work)
According to the weather - it’s nice today and raining tomorrow, so I should probably do the food shopping and test driving today and the sitting inside like a hermit tomorrow.
I have a really good inner alarm clock. I usually wake up about 5 minutes or so before my alarm. This is good for 1 main reason…..I don’t get a song stuck in my head.
Today - I woke up with my alarm and ended up with this song
Rock. I pick my Princess up every Wednesday after work. Sister works late so I babysit. One of the reasons I moved to Jersey was to help my sister when she had Princess Stinkbutt.
Tomorrow, U Penn is having it’s graduation so that means a main road in Philly is going to be closed, which will add 15 minutes to my commute which means I WON’T FIND ANY PARKING. I hate looking for parking - it’s one of the main things I hate about Philly. It’s the only think I hate about Philly…I can drive in circles for 45 minutes for parking- sorta sucks
But if Princess Stinkbutt is in a silly mood, she will sing and be super silly which makes me laugh. Or she will just whine - I don’t want to talk now. So of course, I keep asking How about now - every three seconds.

Also wanted to mention my Mothers day weekend.
NE had a chess tournament in Pittsburgh. My dad and brother went. He did ok, I don’t know if he got an award but he did get money from Grandpa for winning a game. I think he finished 3 wins 4 loses but considering he’s 9…I think he did great.
LN had a dance recital. Sis - Princess and I didn’t have tx to see the show so we tried to watch the rehearsal on Saturday, but they wouldn’t let us. So after the class we took him to his fencing class. He’s thinks he’s Zorro - His fencing teacher is EFFIN HOT I mean smokin hot like his pic is in Esquire modeling hot.
Then we went to a park and played and then went to parents house.
Sunday - we went back to NY and were able to score tx for his dance recital - 3-7 y/o kids dancing…..so cute I couldn’t deal.
Then was brunch w/ my mom, my sil and her parents, my sis and 2 of the 3 kids. NE was still in Pittsburgh at his chess tourny.
I had to go back to hell work today. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that I hate my job.
I have been out since 4/7. You would think that since it’s been over a month they would want me to start to get caught up…you would be wrong.
By 9 am I was at the I quit stage….I had been back an hour.
I made a vow to myself - I refuse to go to work before 8am. I left my house at 7 - got gas - and got driving by 7:15. got to work and turned my computer on by 7:45 - I gave myself extra time today because I knew my password expired and it sometimes takes hours to get it working. -
I had 178 emails going back to 4/7. yeah - I have no idea if they were done or not and it’s not like there are time constraints on the legal matters or anything.
I want to be out of there ideally by end of summer - realistically - end of year.
