Decisions, decisions

It's been almost a week since I last drove my car. Although I feel slightly frustrated by the feeling of being home bound on the weekends, I do enjoy the fact that I live close to the grocery store, bus lines and work so even though my schedule has been a bit different I'm not terribly inconvenienced. Today when I got on the bus, there were 2 faculty members riding and one of them said to me, "We don't usually see you on the bus." No, no you do not. I may become one of those bus folk though, I rather enjoyed my bus ride this morning.

I sway between the decisions of getting rid of my car altogether and attempting to live a life without a car for a while....or spending way too much money and buying a brand new car. In reality I will probably just bring my car into the shop eventually and spend a few hundred figuring out why the steering wheel won't turn easily and why I can't get my hood open.

When I will get around to doing this is a mystery. Life is busy, and when I have free time, like the weekends all the auto shops (like everything else in town) close down. Thus is life in a small town. I have next week off, thank goodness...it will be time to figure a few things out. Like fixing the car, looking at a few houses because I'm thinking about buying again...and deliberating over how many more car issues I want to deal with and whether or not buying a new car is the way to go. Decisions, decisions...I don't always like feeling like a grownup.
