Love slept for a few hours. Made him a sandwich. Then a second. He’s still queasy but at least he’s got some food in him. My stomach is still highly miserable but I’ve managed to stay out of the bathroom for a record 3 hours now. We went to pick up his car (didn’t want…

Ups and Downs
Briefly, since I’m supposed to be getting ready, a few good and a few bad things going on. Good Stuff We finally were able to get Love’s car fixed yesterday. The belt tensioner assembly needed replacing (badly) and as a result, the car squeaked like mad every time you were in idling. Now, it’s blissfully…
Tired
I’m so beat. It’s been a very action-packed weekend. And not all in a good way. Friday I woke up with a horrible migraine. I felt so sick; very dizzy, nauseous and in a lot of pain. I was also having a lot of visual distortions. I got took a couple Excedrin (only med I…
Honda A/C Hell – Update
Wednesday I took it to a Honda dealership to get a Honda tech to inspect it. Turns out it was completely obvious that none of the work done by the a/c place was anywhere near correct. The compressor is on the verge of complete seizure. It's leaking at both ends. It's also basically exploded, putting…
Latest on the Honda
So this morning Love got a ride into work from a friend. I got up early, got ready and called AAA. They came out, picked up the Element and dropped it back off at the repair shop. I got to work about 45 minutes late due to waiting for AAA to arrive. They had the…

Car Hell
Seriously, this is so unbelievable it sounds made up. Here’s what we’ve been dealing with. Honda Element making horrible squeal noise. Saturday, June 19th – take in to car repair place. Look it over, not sure what it is. Do power steering flush and replace pulley assembly. Car sounds worse. By process of elimination, they…
Overwhelmed
I’m going to bed. My eyes are killing me from crying most of the day. I’ve got a headache and I haven’t slept more then about 4 hrs a night for the past three nights. Today wound up being ANOTHER $415. And they couldn’t get the part today in time so I had to leave…
I Know “When it Rains, It Pours” But…
…I wasn’t prepared for a torrential downpour. To Recap: June saw over $600 to repair my car. Then $300 for Love’s (which didn’t fix the problem) and another $920 (which we thought did.) Put us severely behind and in debt, struggling to just keep afloat until we can get caught up. (Which will probably take…
$918
Just add it to the mounting pile of debt I already have gotten myself into this month. We had to get Love’s car fixed yesterday – to the tune of $918. Which is better then the estimate of $1400 (+tax) that the first place gave us, but still…nine hundred dollars. Love’s compressor was going bad….
Continued Car Problems
Damn car problems persist. Two weeks ago, we dropped $640 to fix mine. Love’s is also broken. So Love’s been driving mine to work since he drives 45 minutes one way and I drive 4 miles. Well today, we spent $300, only to find out neither were the problem. They both were problems but not…
Car Repair
An image from today’s adventure… And yes, my car IS missing it’s right front tire! Don’t worry though, I got it back. I guess they have to take it off in order to access the compressor. $636.43 in debt later, my car once again has functioning air conditioning and is thus drivable in here on…
Tired Tuesday
I didn't sleep last night. Well no, I take that back. I DID sleep ok between the hours of 4:30am and 8:30am. But there was pretty much zero sleeping until 4:30am. So this morning, by the time the alarm was set to go off, I was finally down into a good place sleep-cycle wise…and had…
Random Thoughts From Work Today
Another day, another morning I rather be just about anywhere else other than here. My stupid stomach has been seriously on the fritz for the past three days. Yesterday, I woke up and started violently dry-heaving and I felt just horrible. I was sick all day but I finally wound up going into work around…
Some Good, Some Not So Good
Briefly as I need to take a shower and head to bed soon for work tomorrow, here’s the highlights of my day. The Good Had a nice lunch with my Mom and Rand’s Mom at Cheesecake Factory today as a belated birthday celebration. I have a slice of Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake in the fridge…
