Poor pitiful me
When I picked VV up on Thursday, she was sitting outside with the babysitter. So all three of us got to gaze in astonishment and horror at the smoke pouring out of my car.
When I took it in on Friday, they discovered it was oil pouring onto the hot exhaust from the cam shaft. So kind of a fire hazard, apparently. About a 5-6 hour and $800 job, which is bad enough but... oh the but. It's the time of year where everyone in Ontario wants their summer tires on. So they are booked solid for 2 weeks with tire changes. No idea when they'll get around to me. I have a loaner - which I have to return every morning in case someone else needs it, and I might get a different one every night, who knows! And of course, they have to move the car seat for me for every car change.
Also, I think we're getting another cat. I had hoped Derek was off the idea of a friend for Lyra, but we stopped at a pet store and they had a lovely tortie (named Tortellini) they were fostering for the humane society, who put up with toddler pets and with other cats... she's lovely. She'll need a new name though.
And tonight is guild and I have to help serve, but I also have to take VV with me. So that'll be fun.
