Ugh car trouble ...

So here I am - have not posted as much this week. It got busy. I will try and do better. I have been working pretty steadily this week and I was supposed to go to Santa Cruz, CA this weekend but my plans canceled which was fine with me. I would have liked to go but I also had things to do at home. With the time saved - I got my apartment clean and did things around here and so I was productive. So that felt good. Instead of that drive - we went to nurseries around here and did local things. It was fun anyway. We plan on taking the trip later in the Spring when the clocks have changed and the days are longer.

My car is having problems. It is the transmission. It has been jerking when I drive it - sometimes. Sometimes it does it and sometimes it does not. So I took it to my mechanic to have it checked and they said it is likely the transmission. They are going to try and service the transmission and see if that solves the problem. I hope that does or I am out the car and cannot afford a new one. So I hope I am not screwed here. I do love my little car - it is a peppy VW Rabbit and it is fun to drive. I just want it to last some time here until I can afford an electric car. Just do that, car!

I find I am not as obsessed with news coverage under the Biden Administration. I don't feel like I have to obsessively watch the news cycle and things are not as disastrous. I watch things weekly and keep up but it is not a daily thing anymore. I can go some days without watching the news and feel fine about it. I guess I feel like the government is in more competent hands. I still have to pay attention but not as obsessively as I did under the Trump Admin. It is more of a what happened this week than a what f*cked up thing happened today. So that is a shift. Staying informed but not stressing about It.

So that is about all I have to talk about right now. Hope all is well with you! Stay healthy!
