It is all good. Hubby is keeping job till June and we are thinking of how he can be an educator in a way that matters to him and fits his values. It's just money (she tells herself convincingly) He was not charged with additional stuff and gets to hopefully finish out his deferred sentence and we are going for a gubanatorial pardon. He did the car thing because he was way-stressed. I am trying to be silly about it all. So, we really can't be down a car and the garage we work with the guy had a truck we had been looking at for maybe after tax rebate? Well, we worked out a deal with him and I drove the truck tonight but it seems that when I go to start it it clicks when I turn the key 3-4 times before starting. So, starter, battery or ignition? Hmmm? I will drive in tomorrow and have him check it. Cheap truck but we need it to run. and for all of you canadians here, the speed is in kilometers and It took a while for me to figure it out. It's good to have a truck as we can ferry around our own broken down lawn machinery to the repair guy. also, I can put a ton of grain in it! That's amazing. It's a leap of faith as we are expecting a big tax refund, big enough to pay a little tuition for my son and the truck. Waiting for hubby's earnings statement so we can do taxes. Anyway, that's my life story. It is funny in many ways. Thanks for the support.
