Decisions

I finally decided on a topic to write about. It is hopefully everything a memoir should be. Scene, summary, and reflection. I think I definitely wrote enough. Three and a half should be plenty. As for the car buying I talked of in my last post it is yet to be decided. I looked on line and then thought about my finances and decided I better stick with the true American automakers and buy a cobalt sport edition. I am just waiting now to hear from the finance folks. I will update you later. You know how long they can drag this process out and if you do not have "perfect" credit it can take longer. Wish me lots of luck! Later guys.

Car Shopping

Today I have decided it is time to trade in my car for some new wheels. What to buy and from where? Everybody has a sale these days. You cannot drive up in a car lot unless you are feeling like a fresh piece of meat to some vulture. It is crazy. The economy, may be the problem. From my own personal experience most sales people are out to get a sale and then they do not follow up with the sale no matter what the economy is. I have a 2006 Grand Prix right now and since I have had it, the steering shaft has gone out six times. Now, I call that a lemon. The dealership graciously replaces it each time because they stand behind GM parts and that is wonderful, but sometimes they tell you that you need an alignment and a set of new tires. The alignment and the set of tires could not be done until I replaced the tie end rod. That is what I get for buying a certified pre-owned vehicle. Anyways, I think I will buy a Nissan or a Honda vehicle this time. I hear that they carry a higher re-sale value and are very dependable. I will let you guys know how this saga turns out.

Troubled

I started out today oversleeping my alarm and made me late for work. I worked until I breaked for lunch and then tried to finish reading before English class today. I left class and headed back to work until about 3:30 and then I had to leave to get an echiocardigram done because my doctors cannot figure out what is causing my blood pressure to go up and I have headaches. I have made many visits to my regular physician, visited the ER room twice, seen by ENT specialists, today the heart test, GYN doctor tomorrow, and finally on Wednesday I see a neurologist. I think I have covered my bases. Somebody needs to figure out why I am having these issues now at 43 when I have raised all my children and have always been healthy as can be and now? On top of all this today, my son asked if his girlfriend and two little ones can stay the night when I have so much homework to do. God help me is all I can say. Today, Ms. Smith says that you need that quiet time when no one will bother you and I have come to the conclusion I need a place close by where I can go for an hour or two or just go to Noel Library. It's quiet there. I am open to suggestions.

Breath of Fresh Air

Sometimes, do you just feel like you should just pack a bag and just drive somewhere away from it all? Well, I do and I think it is good for the soul and mind, to just release yourself from whatever responsibilities you have even for a short hour or two. Workouts used to do it for me, but as I become older I feel more and more confined to a routine and just need a breath of fresh air so to speak and release myself for a while. No husband, children, family, just yourself and wherever your car stops. Try it once. It is great. I do not get to do it often because of work and responsibilities, but I long to do it as often as time permits.

Setting up this blog

It is kind of neat that you can go somewhere and create a blog and just post your thoughts and someone else can and will read it. Cool!
