Well yesterday I found out what is wrong with the car. I need a whole new transmission. It’s going to be $1800 plus labour, so the savings I’m making by not buying yarn is going to help a bit. Time to apply Summer of Stash to the rest of my life.
-I have lots of clothes, don’t need to buy more.
-Same goes for shoes.
-And sadly books (I love a good bookshop…).
-I don’t need to buy make-up. I mean, I don’t use the stuff. I just get sucked in by the pretty packaging and pretty colours.
I am getting the car repaired as even though it’ll be expensive, I couldn’t buy a car that is in such good condition (once it works again) for what I’m paying for the transmission. It’s been a good little car, this is actually the first big thing to go, and it’s a 1992 so that’s not too shabby.
The plus side of all this (and I have to find a plus side or I’ll go crazy) is that I can knit on the bus! I have a job interview today so last night I bussed into the city (1.5 hours) today I bus downtown and back (1 hour total I think), and tonight or tomorrow I bus back to work. Last night I fell asleep, so no knitting happened. It definitely will happen on the city bus today. On my way back… it depends which bus and if I’m tired or not. Once I’m back, no more buses so I must make the most of this chance.
yay plus side…
