The Ramblings of a Depressed Crazy Lady

Why is it so much harder to deal with cold weather after a few spring-like days? My daughter and I are both cold and miserable this week with high temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 40s. To add insult to injury, it has been raining like crazy, too.

And in other news, the "Service Engine Soon" light came on in my car today. It indicates a problem with the exhaust system, and the auto repair shop didn't have time today to check it out.  The more I drive it, the more likely it is that I will kill the catalytic converter. So I'll be staying at home this weekend. That's okay. I don't mind staying at home, but I mind the wait to find out how much my car will cost me to get it fixed.

In reality, my plan has been to replace it next fall anyway, but I have to admit that I have no enthusiasm to do so. Maybe it's just because I haven't been thinking about it and the economy stinks and I want a car that gets better mileage, but I don't know how to go about choosing one. I like it when I see what I want, I know that's it, and the only trick is getting the best deal possible on it. I'm not excited about the process, and I still need to get mine fixed. 

I need to see the sun. I'm grateful that the sun shines nearly every day here. I tend to get down and depressed after a few straight days of clouds. Imagine how much fun I was when I worked in a downtown office without windows. In the winter,, I arrived at work before the sun rose and left after it set most days. Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine.

My husband is on the last major push for the church garage sale. They are moving the tables in tonight and tomorrow, they move all the donated items from the storage facility to the site of the sale. We won't see much of him for the next three weeks, that's for sure. He tried to get me to ride with him while he moved stuff. I declined. He's totally insulted that I didn't want to spend hours sitting in a 26' Penske truck. Even before it started raining, I knew I wasn't doing that.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the ramblings of a depressed crazy lady. I should be back to seeing the humor in most things as soon as the sun comes out!
