Met a pal for lunch on this fine federal holiday, and ranted a bit -- always feels nice to whine at friends.

We're working through some things.

Kid's car of course got hit by a drunk driver -- hit and run. Kid is fine, but the car has frame damage that of course will be shitty to fix. Expensive part a million, this month, after I had to get two new tires yesterday.

Anyway, kid can't go to school in Tampa without a reasonable car, so we're giving kid driving lessons for my manual transmission. Kid will take my car; i'll keep the shitty one and drive it if necessary locally.

It's currently held together with duct tape hoisting the front bumper away from the wheel -- worst possible timing really, given all the stuff kid wants to change about our current lives.

I mean. I am all for kid getting independent and finding a way, but it's more expensive!

Next up: please get a job, child. Please.

My kid’s car also got hit by a hit and run drunk driver while parked. Side mirror STILL held on with duct tape and you can’t roll the window down because of the dent in the door. I also had just bought tires.
Since she works I feel a little less obligated to fix things for her - but wow, in the current economy they do not get ahead quickly.

Strength to your arm.
