Today was busy but in a good way. We went out to dinner and my eldest's teacher messaged us to tell us how proud she was of him today, which is fantastic. He's a very bright kid, but bored easily
How the hell was your day? ๐

What about my me?
After a very fraught week of back-and-forth emailing, I have put a down payment on a car! It will arrive at the end of September, and I'm starting to feel excited. I'm still worn out from the negotiations, though - they do that on purpose to wear you down. I did a lot of research, because I want a car that will last 20 years and get good gas mileage, like my last one. I picked a classic model, and then they had shortages all summer, which is why I have to wait. Fingers crossed that it will now go smoothly!๐ฌ

Bloody awful news today ๐
Poss trigger ?
My friend's Husband was CARJACKED last night. He was beaten and they threatened him with knives and cleaned his bank account out while breaking is wrist stamping it on the floor! They left him in a ditch, took their car (disability) and phone which is bad in itself but it had their disabled son's car chair & buggy in too. They are obviously seriously shook up at the moment. Just waiting to find out when I can go over. At the moment they are dealing with police and insurance ๐
There are sick people in this world ๐
I just pray they recover from this ok.

I hope the police will find the car, with the items still inside. I've known two people who had their cars stolen, which were recovered. I hope so in your friend's case, too!

Holy crap. It began raining about 6am, and waited until there was a lull in the storm. Three hours later it calmed down so I went to Target....when I came out, the skies had opened up. It was ridiculous, just crazy rain that blew sideways because of the high winds.
Came home looking like a drowned rat, but at least I got my chocolate! Until an hour ago, the rain was eve worse and it looked liked a huge cloud had settled everywhere. Very spooky.

I successfully took a complicated bus route to the DMV to renew my license. They require appointments, and apparently the only way you can get an appointment is to go in person to get one, since there are never any available online and no one ever answers their phone.๐คช I found this out when I went three weeks ago. But this time with appt, they let me in, and said I might be up next. In fact, it was 30 minutes, during which I had to avoid reading anything for fear my eyes would get blurry before the test.๐ต But I got it done, and also got info for a friend who is homebound on how to renew without having to go in. The website says to call a phone number about this, which is also never answered. Our tax dollars at work!
It was a fun adventure, going through neighborhoods I never see, and I got Taco Bell, and brought KFC and hum bow home, since I never get a chance to eat at any of these places. @Anyanka Bunny Slayer is always mentioning KFC, and it makes me jealous! And now I have a current license (well, a temporary piece of paper), so they will let me pick up my new car, which is coming sometime in the next couple weeks. Whew!

@NotASlayer Here we renew licenses online.
We can only renew online every other renewal. And yet, when you try to find info on their website about making an appointment, they keep extolling the virtues of doing it online. Well, that would suit me fine if they would have let me! But I renewed for eight years, the max that I could, and I can renew online next time, so it will be 16 years before I have to go through this again, I hope.

Here, the options are online, post and Post Office. If they have an up to date photo of you already, it's slightly easier, but if they don't, it's easy enough to take one. Think a license lasts ten years until you get too old that they are shorter.

My day has been ok. Been doing a bit of housework, had multiple coffee breaks, had music on, chilled online and now doing dinner!

Today was the British Car Day with about 1000 cars showing up. It was a lot of walking in the Bronte Park Conservation Area but it was worth it. One owner let me sit in his old Bentley and the steering wheel was the thinnest one I had ever seen at about a half inch thick. There was a Jaguar XKE that showed up in a cloud of steam from a blown cooling system. The car I liked best was a TVR S2 (same as the old 280i) but I could never keep it in parts. A very nice way to spend the day.

Sounds like fun. I went in my youth to a ferrari exhibit and it was awesome!

I have been sick since late Friday and starting to feel better-ish. Today was still draining though haha thanks to the toddler. Overall decent day, though.

My day has been absolutely fantastic. Decided to stay in and clean house, do laundry, and basically avoid people. I've been going SO many places during the last week and I'm exhausted. Plus, being around crowds of people for a prolonged period of time is very, very tiring.
Right now I'm drinking strawberry/banana juice and buying things on Amazon. Do I actually need those things? Nope! But I want them and that's all that matters.. ๐

Had a pretty good day yesterday. Worked an early half day. Went to gym. Found out that they changed schedule, so am off today! Yay!
Also found out my parents are going to Egypt in January! Mom said I "inspired them" (cuz all the traveling). Ooh and they're getting kittens!
Guess mom's co-worker is trying to find homes for them. Apparently I'm gonna be 'godparent' to 2 kittens. IE: free kitteh sitter. ๐
I know tragic! ๐ Then had dinner with GF parents. Told them bout what mom said & GF mom agreed & said she was proud of us.
Then she tacks on to GF: "so when ya gonna make an honest woman of her." GF was like "way to make it awkward , Mom" ๐ณ

My dark night of the soul - er, car - is finally over. I picked up my car today! "Picked up" in the sense of having to sit around several hours until the finance manager could try to harass me into buying an extended warranty, but they let me out eventually. There is just soooo much going on, on that dashboard! I don't understand most of it, all I can do is drive and park. I couldn't even find the horn on the way home, but have now located it thanks to the manual. It's a bit overwhelming, but I hope I can figure out some of it and I'm excited to have a car again at last!

Congratulations!

I don't think I've ever used the horn on my car, not sure if i know where it is
November
YAY! Im so happy its sorted now! My car has been a head spin too but now I LOVE SPOTIFY in it!
Oh man, so much has gone on! I am stir crazy today. Completely and utterly going nuts stuck here. I want to go back to the coast but there are germ gremlins everywhere now that it is school holidays and fuel prices and food prices are through the roof to capitalise on the tourists.
I finally got down to the inlet the other week for a swim and it was STUNNING. Absolute heaven on earth. I was so, so, so happy to get in the ocean again. I was just floating there for ages. I did get a bit worried at times because of all the shark attacks in the state lately, but I was in the inlet and not the open ocean so it was still and clear blue, so hopefully I would have seen a shark coming.
I stayed until some other people arrived and decided to set up camp right on top of my bags! I was literally the only one there on kilometres of open sand and beach and these dumbasses decided to put their chairs over the top of my bags! So I got up and moved and they laughed and I said yeah not like there is space anywhere else. I moved down the beach and got in again anyway. I didnt want to leave. The salt water wrecked my hair, it is rarely knotty but even after I washed it, its been knotty ever since! I forgot how salt water did that.
The grand final football was on on the weekend, my long suffering team got there. And blew it. 4 minutes, 20 seconds to go, we were ahead, we had it won. They rang the Warfie Time bell to stir up the crowd and carry us home. It stirred up the competition who kicked a few goals and beat us by 7 points. It was the most devastating loss that I have EVER seen in my life. The state is in a state of shock. People are still crying. If you ever want to watch a game of AFL (Aussie Rules) football, this is the game to watch. It really was a brilliant grand final game of football, even if we couldnt get the win. I am glad I watched it and Kylie Minogue was a superstar for the pre game show. I sent my dad this meme and now I am out of the will.
Right, the poodle is driving me mental. Its a break in the rain so I better take her walkies. I wish I had a safe yard I could chuck her outside by herself but I saw a snake in the shed and dead tiger snake on the road by my fence so I am not risking it!

My girlfriend and I carry a green bag to the dances that have shoes in them but also extra jackets for when the dance gets out and it is the season where the clothes you wear into the dance are too cold to wear later at night when you get out, so this shoe bag is quite bulky. The venues have a policy of not allowing any food or drink into the building because they want the monopoly on anything you eat while you are there. We are both fed up with this. Last Friday at the Capitol, a reception hall / dance venue, the guard at the entrance said our bag looked suspicious. My girlfriend said, "well, don't tell anyone!" We just blew past him and walked in. By the time we got to the centre of the dance floor, we were both laughing as we headed to our seat on the other side.. At $25 per person to get in, we should be allowed to bring anything we want.
