Well, they said I could have my car by 3 today. I called at 4 and they said I could have it at 4:45 but would have to bring it back to have another piece fixed when it gets in. Which seemed unrealistic. So I won't have my car for a while longer. Which is fine. As long as the insurance pays for my rental I'm fine. Even without the rental we were fine sharing my mom's car but we need 2 cars to get to Christmas Monday. My sister lives 2 hours away and we have a lot of presents to take. We also have to take our dog because he had ACL surgery about a month ago and needs supervision. So that means my mom's car won't hold much and mine will be packed with presents. I will get another experience in driving in the dark. I'm still working on that because I'm scared of hitting another deer. And with the car I have now I think that wouldn't be so hard.

Oh well. The car will be fixed eventually. And I won't hit another deer. And we'll have a Christmas worth it at my sister's with my nieces. I got my 13 year old niece her first piece of "real" (yet very cheap) jewelry, a ring with a butterfly shaped design with a stone in her favorite color stone on top. It's pretty and I think she'll love it. Or she won't and I'll have to exchange it somehow.
