Depressing
We just cleaned out the Equinox, and I switched the cars around and put the Aztek in the garage. The Equinox, with about 10 minutes of cleaning on the inside, will look brand new. It runs perfectly. It has a driver’s side window that works! It doesn’t “seep” oil. It smells like new car, instead of fake cherry air freshener. It’s 3.5 years old with 12,200 miles on it, instead of 8 years old with 94,500 miles on it. I wanted to beat it up before I gave it up. I don’t know, maybe I’d feel differently if the guy who was supposed to fix the Aztek window would effin’ call me back! Yeah, it doesn’t help if you charge less than the dealer, if you don’t do the job. Big whoop. I can say that I charge $5/hour for car/body repairs and people can get really excited, until they realize that I’m not going to leave my desk. The Equinox is supposed to be picked up tomorrow, although the b*tch from the credit union didn’t respond to my email, so who knows. But, the first day I’m supposed to use my windowless Aztek and drive across town for a doctor’s appointment…it’s supposed to rain. Luckily, I’m still borrowing my dad’s Mustang or I’d be all wet by the time we got there.
Oh, and if you have any appliances, computers, portable heaters, that have plugs in the wall that are hot, don’t leave them plugged in if you’re not home. Our heater started a fire in the outlet, and if we weren’t home, the house would’ve burned down and all of the pets would’ve died. No wonder I’m not so cheerful. Maybe it’s not all Equinox related. Anyway, let this be a lesson that you can learn from too. I don’t want anything to happen to you - I have so few readers as it is.

Happy Chanukah! I hope 2009 is a much, much better year. Glad to hear you DIDN’T burn the house down and that all the pets are still around.
Hugs to all of you.
