Stuff

[jadecat]

So I haven't really posted anything of substance for awhile now, my apologies. I'm just not really 'here' at the moment, and I'm not entirely sure when I'll be back. The ebb and flow of emotional energy is at a serious ebb at the moment.

Points:

* Thanksgiving was nice, got to see the immediate family- and my nephew, the cutest almost-two-year old little boy in the entire world. No really, he is. Very easy-going disposition, though when he's trying to figure something out he gets this adorable "serious face."

* Car is not so good. As soon as I got to Midland on Wednesday it starting to make this grinding noise (right front side) when stopping, and then when I let off the brake it started again until I had been driving for a minute or so. Then on Thursday when I went to move the car into the driveway- the interior lights wouldn't shut off. I was able to manually turn off the dome light, but the rearview mirror has two small lights on it, and those would NOT turn off. When I drove home Friday night I had to cover them with black electrical tape. *grins* This was a process. The first tape my folks found was old, no older than that. The adhesive was sticking to both sides, but not to much of anything else well. Luckily they found a newer roll and I was able to cover the lights. Oddly, the lights being on didn't drain the battery, for which I'm very grateful. The car is now at the shop, and hopefully I will soon get a call to let me know what's wrong with it.

* NaNo is done for another year. Did get to 50K, as reported, story is not done... Need to talk to locals about continuing writing meet-ups, and the where's and when's...

* don't want to be at work.

Lastly- have some dragons:



EDIT- Car stuff isn't too bad, the light issue is a faulty wire, easily fixed and not too expensive. The grinding is a frozen caliper, and while it's fairly easy to fix, the brake pads and rotors wore unevenly and have to be fixed too. :(

Sounds like your brake pads might have worn out or fractured, & for the interior lights, there should be a fuse that you can remove (More than likely, it's a stuck switch)

I'm hoping the lights are a fuse issue... as for the other, if it's a brake problem- they're hopefully covered by the warranty the car place has (they were the ones that installed them about 6 months ago).

thanks. :)

I'm sorry to hear about the car problems and emotional ups and downs. I figured something was up when I hadn't heard from you. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm counting on us continuing the writing group. I need some kind of motivation to keep writing. Apparently the 50 some odd words you had over my word count wasn't enough to motivate me to write more on my NaNovel. *grins*

also - cleeked. :o)

PS. I'm glad that Thanksgiving was good even with the car frustrations.

I have been meaning to answer your e-mail, just seems like a lot of effort right now. Which is really silly, I know. So I've got Whiny and Tired complaining, meanwhile Logic is telling them to STFU and quit being melodramatic... Once they settle the argument I should be back to my old self again. ;)

Thanks. :) I do want to keep meeting, but am thinking we may need to revise 'place' somewhat... Random thoughts percolating in the noisy brain.

I love that icon. :)

And no, nothing serious is wrong with the car... thank goodness!
