I picked up my car tuesday night, after my mechanic put $350 worth of repairs into it, and wednesday morning, it died the exact same way it had sunday. apparently, the brand new sensor my mechanic had put into it was defective. fortunately, my mechanic rules, and he towed my car back to his shop, fixed it while I was at work, and I was able to pick it up when I got off-- all free of charge. he apologized profusely, but I honestly don't know how he would have known that it was defective if I drove it tuesday night and wednesday morning without trouble, which means he probably test drove it without trouble.

today is the last day of the month. HIGH STRESS at work, but when I go home tonight, I can take a deep breath. I'm really glad I have Monday off. I'm actually doing pretty well within the office (last I checked, I was ranked fourth overall), and I got what we had pretty much considered a lost account not only to pay, but also to make long-term arrangements. it has a high balance, too.

I got myself a paper journal, because there are a lot of things I need to write that I am not willing to be public about, mostly because these issues involve parties other than myself. I've been a "blogger" for so long that I didn't have a paper journal anymore, but I have kept journals for as long as I can remember.

be well.
