Nerf-Coated World

Did manage to get two

Did manage to get two things done yesterday that needed doing:

  1. listed my Tetris on eBay

  2. set an appointment for the trusty Volvo, to fix the things they didn't fix last time

Speaking of the Volvo, this will probably be the last week I have it; early next week, I'm likely going to trade it to my mom for her Tahoe.

Sigh. I'm going to miss that car. You drive nearly 65,000 miles in a vehicle, and you get a little bit attached. It wasn't as hard to do with my last one -- even though it was my first -- because at that point, it had all sorts of little things wrong with it. And even though I had it for longer than this one, I drove about 20,000 fewer miles on it (no trips to Atlanta or L.A.).

Anyway, the Tahoe will have more room, so I can stretch out better. My legs are far longer than the average, so the Volvo, while it fits me, fits me just barely. It's the end of an era. I got that car at the end, and the beginning of a new chapter of my life. And here it is again, I'm getting new car (new to me) at the end and the beginning of another new chapter.
