Gronk - up an hour early. Hate losing precious sleep. Am doing homework now.
DH started his new job on Tuesday and is now sick. He is sleeping very noisily now, but woke me up about 20 minutes ago to tell me he was sorry he was making so much noise. Ummmm, thanks.
Just dropped off the rental car. I am officially carless. It's weird. I've never been carless. We had a car for me to drive when I got my license, and I bought my first car when I was 18. This just feels so very, very weird.
Raq, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for that comparatively ick-free summary of the saga of Mal's bottom.
I can't imagine the feeling vw. I'd be lost without my car, but then again I feel as though I am taxi-central for our family.
I am feeling a bit panicky about it today. I can't make Target or grocery store runs anymore on a moment's notice (well, depending on the zipcar thing). No more easy trips to mom and dad's. I'll get used to it, but it's gonna be an adjustment. I know I'm doing the right thing, though, and that helps.
Good luck with the adjustment, vw.
You ARE doing the right thing. And you will get used to the other options available to you. If I didn't have the kids and lived close to as many non-car options as you do, I'l be very tempted to rid myself of a car.
I've never regretted giving up my car, not for a moment.
I'm sure that you'll see it as a huge burden lifted from you.
Once you get into the groove with the ZipCar thing, it will feel more seamless, I bet.
Cars have never been anything but a source of anxiety for me, between breakdowns and towing and accidents and parking and being sideswiped and...argh. Although we still have Tom's car, I hardly ever drive it and I am pleased that we live somewhere where not having a car at all wouldn't hinder us too much.
