Car is still at the dealer. I have a ride tomorrow. If they can't find anything by 2 pm, I'm just taking my car back and waiting for its next time of the month. I know they're taking it seriously, but you know - it's not worth it. Given the frequency with which attacks like this happen, I figure it's basically Jewel's time of the month.

Seriously, I just taught myself that going carless for several days with all the crap I had to do was not an option, especially if the mechanic can't find the problem. I got all the stuff together for the loan application to put in the UPS drop box at Pine Orchard when I got home, then realized I'd forgotten something critical: to get someone to DRIVE me there. And it had to be in the drop box before the pick-up time of 7 pm.

So I threw the UPS express package in a backpack, put on my sneakers, and walked.

All the way down 40. In this heat, well before dusk.

Both ways.

I'd say it was a five-mile round trip.

So if you were on Rt. 40 and stared at this crazy girl with a brown backpack walking along towards Enchanted Forest with a big stick in one hand and keys clenched in the other, now you know the story behind it. (Hey, there was a streaker reported in Ellicott City, I wanted to be prepared to have a blunt object to swing at his exposed skin.) I wouldn't want to do this on a regular basis, but the freaking application is submitted! *dances*

Hm, it's 10. I think a shower is in order. Need to hit the sack soon since Sherry is picking me up at 7. Thank goodness for nice co-workers who live two blocks away.
