I'm so sorry, Sean. Also, what Jen said.

Oh, yikes. I looked really callous back there when all that stuff was going down while I was still typing.

{{Seany}} I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. But am glad to count such a Very Decent Human amongst my circle of Invisible Friends in the Box. Some of the strongest ~ma I got - heading your way.

Much car-ma, lisah. That's a tough place to be. When my last car was breaking down at least every other month I figured that it was about the same money as a car payment, plus I wouldn't keep being late for work because of morning breakdowns. But I still ended up waiting until the mechanic who was checking out my car's latest weird noise said, "If you've been thinking about getting a new car, now's the time."

Much car-ma, lisah.

Thanks, hon. I am pretty sure it's still makes more financial sense to hold onto my car for another year or so. the things that are going wrong are normal wear & tear stuff and it's still safe to drive. Also, I'm putting WAY fewer miles on the car since I switched jobs last year. And can easily hitch rides/work at home/bike to work if I need to put it in the shop.

strength~ma Sean

Pshah... Don't be silly, Epic. We all know how the board rolls.

I can't go down with her.

You are incredibly brave and strong.

I feel exactly the opposite.

Awww, jeez Sean, that sucks.

Thanks for the birthday greetings! I am trying to decide what to do (though, uh, I need to check my work email and see what i *have* to do, first). I need to do some laundry and prep for camping tomorrow, but am do I want to try to get a massage? There's a place around the corner, but I wasn't *super* impressed with them the one time I've been. There's a crazy Korean spa people love out in the suburbs that'll scrub you down and so on, but I'm not sure I want to go all the way out there, and by myself. Hmm.

I feel exactly the opposite.

That's the inertia and the remaining love. Yeah, it's all so Romantic and Operatic to do the suffering together to the end thing, but then you just have two people weakened when there was only one, when you could have a strong person who may be in a position to help the weak one in the future.
