part of our weekend here starts on Friday as DH has Fridays off, so it has become our errand day, even if I go alone on some. Because we are down to one car for now, both vans had some major engine trouble. The older one is not really worth fixing and the new one we need funds to rebuild, that is the hope/plans for the next bonus. DD was driving one minivan, and (totally not her fault) but the timing belt slipped and caused engine failure. The other we had freaky 15 min worth of flooding and DH drove through a puddle and drowned the car..... The drowning victim is worth a fix, it is the newer car. SO, as such I don't really have a car most days of the week (sometimes I can take DD's if she is home, it isn't officially hers... but it is hers if that makes sense? She had school, and did choice to a different district, the bus worked for a time, until DH got a new job with different hours and location, so she really had to drive. Anyway when the van she'd been driving had its issue we were actually planning on getting another car so that one time it wasn't the catastrophe it generally is. But I still don't have MY car.
After the other van drown we joined the car payment club and got one on finance, I'm less than thrilled about it LOL but I like the car!
So DH and I are going out to do some errands, He wants to stop in and say "Hi" to some people he worked with before he took this latest promotion. DD13 wants an ear piercing shes been waiting for, and this way she can "show it off" the final day of school Monday, She ASKED when she was 11 so she's had a bit of a wait LOL.
next up:
dailies
errands
moving some things in the living room minor things but still requires hubby's help!
DD is doing some garden work, I'm not sure I'll help or not, most of her work might be while we are out IDK, then again she may come with so that is TBD
I'd like to get a bit more done in the bedroom but I won't be torn up of it doesn't happen
Dee, good luck with the Echo! they are not the most fun, but it could be worse, I had one recently to check on my repair (ASD repaired when I was 2 1/2 open heart surgery) but I got some nice PAC's, which are benign but unnerving a few months back so as a follow up they checked on things! I hope your results are also so fortunate!
