i quit my job
What is sort of exciting: The idea of buying a car. We were going to rent one, but the prices if you are under 25, made it almost $200 more. And that's not including any insurance or other liability costs. So it looks like we will buy one. We took a Saturn for a test drive and looked at some other cars. I haven't driven a car in over six months, and been in very few since then. I don't like cars, but the idea of owning one after using the bus forever is exciting. The idea of paying for it is not. But now I just want a car!
What is frustrating and worrisome: Not having anyone seeming that seriously interested in subleasing our apartment. After a few busts with some people, I reposted the ad in another section. Within two hours I had exchagned emails with someone who might be coming to look at it this week (Although thats what three other people had said, and they haven't shown any more interest.) This is very frustrating and annoying. Why doesn't anyone want our lovely place??!
What is absolutely devastating and heartbreaking: Calling my mom while she is at the hospital visiting my grandpa. And having her try to put my grandpa on the phone. Hearing his slurred and weak speech, him trying to say my name and me barely understanding. Absolutely hearbreaking to hear the strongest, most competent and dependable person I have known my whole life sound so helpless and weak. Makes me tear up just thinking about what he sounded like on that phone. It's horrible to think of someone you have known your life to be incredibly active, spry and strong to sound so sick and old. (Granted he is old, but I never really thought of him as being so old until very recently). In some ways I am glad I am not there to witness a lot of the horriblness first hand. But of course, I can't wait to get back there. I need to see him again.
