Hmm, Geico says I qualify for a discount if I complete an online defensive driver's course. Cool.
Edit: And I do already have that coverage!
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The $57 membership has towing for 5 miles, but I work 20 miles from home.
For me, the important distance isn't how far from home, but how far from somewhere that can fix the car. Getting a broken car home isn't going to help me much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone on the street earlier gave me a free pack of gum. I was a little suspicious just now going to chew some, because she didn't have a branded shirt or anything -- but then I noticed the church ad sticker on the pack. Phew. I knew someone was trying to sell me something!

I have Geico, btw, and I've used their roadside assistance services several times and it's always been fine.
I will second that Geico's roadside service is excellent.

I've just added the contact number to my cellphone. That is a large relief.

Ta da! One less thing to worry about.

In case it's a surprise to anyone, having you all around has made all this so much less of a horror and let me see the potential for unexpected adventure and accomplishment. He'd be proud of me, figuring out this new world and how to kick its ass.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sure he was often and always proud of you Connie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
He'd be very proud. The rest of your life is in front of you, Connie.
This was a horrible loss and it will take a long time to work through it. It's going to be hard and lonely at times.
And yet, you do have opportunities you didn't before. Whoever you want to be, however you want to do that.
It's not only okay, but necessary for you to take the freedom with the loss.
I look at what Maria and -t and Laura have done after they lost their husbands, and I know you have so much yet in front of you. Good things as well as the loss you're dealing with now.

I'm so glad you can see that!
Applied magic soup for lunch, but feel worse than when I woke up. Blergh.
