Gronk. My grandfather has seen to it that my car was moved from the mechanic to the body shop today. Love him. I am stuck here without a car. The mechanic portion of the car was $720, a hundred dollars more than they estimated for me yesterday. The good news is I didn't need a new transmission. They put the car on one of those diagnostic computers and it turned out to be a part that the transmission runs off of (can't remember the name). They replaced the one tire with the bubble in it, and I probably should replace the rest next month. Monday, I'm going to find out what is happening at the body shop and then probably get a rental car.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Glad to hear the transmission is okay, sj, those can get very expensive to repair/replace.

Oh my, oh my. What a relief. Thanking all the powers that Halloweenie is staying put and JZ is in good care. God bless your fortitude David.
Honestly, for a needle phobic to have to endure five tries for two IVs, plus blood-work three times, plus a rather painful steroid shot in the hip...well, she was brave little toaster is what.
Couldn'ta done it myself. I'm hugely impressed.
Oh my, oh my. Just blessings all around.

What is even happening?
Cashmere, I hope you ironed your polo shirt, first. edited out, because that would have made so much sense in Natter, where Sue and Cashmere's posts live.
sj, yay for kindly grandfathers. I'm sorry you're having so much car trouble all at once. Do you have rental as part of your auto-insurance?

Do you have rental as part of your auto-insurance?
It's partially covered, but not totally, so I decided to wait on the rental car until Monday, because I really can't afford the extra money right now. Better to have it for two or so days than five or more. Unfortunately, they can't even start working on the car until the claims adjuster sees the car on Monday.

I'm so glad there's no exciting news waiting here, about JZ.
Indeed, she's up and quite bored. She wants me to bring TV listings. Sleeping while hooked up to baby monitors with IV shunts in the back of your hands is apparently not the paradise of dreamland they advertised.

Poor, bored JZ. Is there any update on when she is supposed to get out of the hospital?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, Ugh, sj. I hope you can get your car back quickly, and that the claims adjuster stuff goes well.
eta: oops-- got interrupted.
YAY for JZ being bored!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Thanks, Lee. I'm hoping they decide it was the ambulances fault and I don't have to pay the deductible to fix the dent.
