Car ended up costing about $100 short of the top end of the estimate. Sigh. Oh well. So this year for V-Day we got each other a power steering fluid hose. So romantic.
I went to the doctor to grumble about my supposed sinus infection, she looked at me, heard my description of how this particular illness has progressed, and told me that all my symptoms seem viral, that what kept me out of work last week sounds more like flu than cold, which would explain why I'm still well under 100%. She did give me a scrip for an antibiotic after asking me not to use it unless my symptoms changed/worsen.
Oh, and the downstairs heater (baseboard electric) is stuck on. So it's a sauna in here, we have the windows open, and I'm annoyed how much pointless expensive electricity we're using, but we've called it in to our landlords. At least we're not the ones in charge of fixing it, nor paying the repair bill.
