@Wildfire: As a person who keeps having to buy parts that aren't being made anymore for my own truck, thank you for sacrificing the truck for parts. XD
I would be a bit disappointed in your shoes too, you did put in the work to sell it.

I got the big stuff done, but with my throat hurting and my nose stuffy, it won't be wise of me to hang out in a dusty closet today.
My husband says he hasn't called because he's nervous they'll tell him it's ready, and we need to wait until payday to pick it up. e.e [lol, this alone tells you how new of a driver he is] He's only had his driver's license two years now. Our entire adult lives together, the vehicle[s] have been my responsibility. XD
So now that the truck is his problem, I notice how much he didn't pay attention to how things work and what not to do.
I tried to clarify to him, calling and checking-in is normal. You're not demanding the truck back. If anything [which I've done before], They'll hold your vehicle until you have time/money to come get it within the week.
I can't help but laugh a bit at how much he's acting like a new teen driver with the truck.

@Wildfire: Ah gosh, I wish you lived near here, my new upstairs roommates are both mechanics, and the type to help friends with small expensive problems.
They keep offering to help us with our vehicles, but we haven't found the time yet to take them up on that.
We've never had mechanic friends before.. so it feels weird that they wanna do labor for free? I figure we'd make them dinner or provide beverages or something. XD

My husband's smarts about vehicles definitely ring 'teenager'. //secretly driving me crazy// But he's gotta learn from his own experiences with this since he didn't pay attention from my own 11 years of driving and shop problems. <.<

UHHHHG... I was looking forward to my 10 year anniversary with my husband, and I forgot.. AGAIN. My dad just texted me "Happy Anniversary" and I just checked the calendar and IT IS... Dang ittttt... we didn't plan anything ... =3= //pouty//

@Wildfire: I hope you and your husband do something fun and unique next week. <3

We regularly order in food and do tv nights. So, unfortunately, if we did this tonight, it would feel pretty normal.
I had wanted to put on a wedding dress and take a good photo with him today, but I imagine, neither of us will be in the mood to do so by the time he gets home from work.
Most Likely, We'll order take-out from my favorite Chinese place and we'll just lock our bedroom door and have a day-in.
I took medicine a few minutes ago, I'm feeling a little less cranky now.

My plans this week are shifting, so that doesn't feel great. Knowing I'll be postponing my weekend trip bothers me because it puts my trip back-to-back with friends that are visiting. :T

@Wildfire: I just discussed my postponed trip with my new roommate. He needed a few extra days to get ready for the trip as well. I'm essentially going north and traveling back south with him. We are splitting a uhaul cost so that I could pack some of my furniture from my childhood house.
I'll need to call my housing arrangements and say I'll be later than I thought too. Bleeeeh.

Well, I'm taking a walk with the kids to the store. We're running low on snacky foods and I suggested we walk to the store and they took me up on that. So now I gotta do follow-through. lol!

Thank you for the encouragement. I suppose we'll try our best to get a mock wedding photo in today or this weekend. <3 I found my mom's original wedding gown. [her first wedding] it was a handmade dress by my grandma. It's gorgeous. The dress somehow ended up in my stuff over the years, so my mom told me to hold onto it for her. I figured I'd use that for a mock wedding photo and surprise her. =O

@Koah: It sounds like your trip plans, altered though they may be, are going to work out for everyone involved. That's good, right? :3

You're welcome for the encouragement to do the 'wedding' photo. All I can offer is my perspective ... but again, looking back now, with the additional age, etc., that I have on you, I wish I had done more of the kind of thing you're describing^^... but life and raising the kids always seemed to get the better of me. That's not a bad thing, that the kids came first, but it would have been nice to have done a few things a little bit differently, and now, after time has passed (and it really did go much more quickly than I ever could have anticipated!!!), it would be nice to have that type of thing... that perspective... that point of reference... that memory...especially now that they're adults, starting their own lives...

I hope you had a good walk! :3

@Wildfire: Thank you! It was my third year attempting it (at a low difficulty level because I don't handle pressure super well and didn't want to burn out), and I finally did it, which was a nice feeling. :)

Lol the hotel was cute, too, it was like two or three converted and combined old houses. We were a lot closer to town that way, too!

Good Morning.
I'm feeling sick! but. not as bad as yesterday.
