Monday, Monday!

Monday again. Sunshine. Back to the same old-same old. I'm doing the routine, but it doesn't always make me happy. The thing is, it does make me happier than not doing it it seems so, the routine it is.

Need to do home repairs! It keeps me awake at night. It is so, so, so hard!!! OK, it really isn't necessarily  that hard, but it is the thing I worry about most in the middle of the night. We also need to get a car. That gives me low-level, all-the-time anxiety, but it is not the thing that looms large in the middle of the night and keeps me awake.

I need to remember to just make decisions and stick to them. My decision is right now to NOT start any fairly major home repairs until the snow is melted and the overnight temps are reasonable (basically above freezing.) That is not now!

I haven't made any decisions involving the car yet. I keep looking, thinking, researching, and that basically makes for the continual low-level anxiety. Shopping. It is work! Hybrid? Small new or fancier, bigger used? Reliability, safety features, Diana's driving comfort, wheeeeeee!

OK, I need to take my mind off the vehicles for a bit. Today, Diana & I went for a walk together before she went to work (right when we got up). It made me feel wheee good! Even after a night of fitful sleep.

Now though, I am rapidly losing steam. I still need to vacuum the living room & hall, sweep the kitchen, do all my regular stuffs, look at new cars online, make a spring feast, and cobble the bathroom floor so that it can wait better for the full repair in a few weeks. I can do it!!!

Lunch: Leftover sliders, zesty oyster crackers

Dinner: Spring feast! (lamb chops, perogies, asparagus, salad, fruit salad)

Car thoughts: How reliable will the hybrid battery be in a 2013 Toyota Avalon? Can we swing a $500 car payment? Is there anyway we can afford a new Suburu Impreza hatchback? Would it be worth it?
