car trouble

Seems I came within about 5 minutes of my car shutting itself down on the 401 due to battery running out of oomph. The alternator gave up the ghost, while I was driving. In rush hour traffic. One trip to the garage and a couple hundred dollars later ... sheesh. I hope that's the last of those repair bills for the car. I could use some time to try to catch up on my bills. 

Saw the hybrid Vue while at the dealership. It looks good - lots of storage space, but no spare tire. That's where the extra battery is, which makes sense, but what do you do if you get a flat?

Research is definitely required on this one. 

In other news, down to 8 classes to go, including Saturday's makeup class for the one cancelled after the 4 hour drive last week. 

This is really getting down to the wire.  It's nerve wracking, frazzling and exciting all at the same time. I'm not exactly sure what to think some days. But I am still feeling wayyyy tooo tired. Hopefully that will go away soon. I need more energy. 

Oh, and I am beginning to get sick of cross stitching white on ecru. But this too shall pass.
