My car was making a noise that I couldn't ignore so I stopped at the mechanic on my way home from my hyperbaric appt. I was hoping they'd say it would be okay for a few more days so I could better plan to be without it, but no such luck. I ended up leaving it and getting an Uber home. Really hoping it's not going to cost a mint, especially given how many other expenses I'm dealing with right now and while I'm working half days (i.e. half pay).
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

askye, good luck with the job hunt. If you want someone to look at your resume you can send it to me today. Profile address is good.
Epic, best of luck with the car. I hope it’s as inexpensive of a repair as possible.

Epic, you are due for a break! Hope it's an inexpensive repair.

Car~ma for you, Epic!
Job~ma for askye! I'm sorry your mom is being so annoying and manipulative.
Hmmm, you do need to make a plan for the 50th, Erica. My 50th, almost 20 years ago, it was the year of the W&H shenanigans in LA. Good memories.

Heard from the mechanic. It's just a hose from the steering pump, not the pump itself, parts and labor will cost $400 and change. So, not as good as I hoped, but definitely better than it might have been.
Meanwhile, I took a mental health day from work today and just went to turn on the tv to discover that Spectrum is having an outage in my area, so no tv, no wifi. Maybe it's time for a little nap...

sj I will do that. And I do have a job interview on Monday. It's at a Neighborhood Walmart. I can't remember what postion. I checked multiple positions locations when I applied. I'll see how it goes.

And I have another at a different Walmart tomorrow. At the same time as the one Monday. I think. I didn't put it in my notes app because I'd remember it and now I'm doubting. I called the store back but no one in HR answered so I'm going to call a bit later

I picked out a novel-writing workshop as a gift from Mom. Maybe, in a perfect world, I'd do something crazier, but I'll talk to some strangers and maybe finish "Wedded Twist". Not all bad, right?

Sounds like an awesome gift for someone with writing talent and passion like you. Plus, won't take up space or gather dust in your house!
