RIP

The car saga continues. I thought I'd use it the other day just to see if it would hold out for the short trip to work. I made it about 3-4 miles before the coolant was gone and then went a little further before I chickened out and parked it on the street. There it still rests. I just called a shop to sell it and they said (without even looking at it) that they would only give the value for scrap which is $150. That hurts. Apparently I have become quite attached to my car. It was fun to drive it those last few miles and reminded me of happier times. What's worse is that, with it, I am losing the best stereo I own right now (excluding the one my Dad is 'borrowing').

I guess there ends my first car experience. Hopefully it gets better from here.

Couple of moans for the day

1. Why does it take so long to get a prescription? You always have to wait at least 20 minutess. I understand if there is a queue (line), but seriously, how long does it take to put some pills in a bottle?

2. It's damn hot here (over 100F/38C) and I was home early because of my doctors appointment, so I thought it would be nice to go for a swim in one of the local pools. I usually do this regularly in the summer, but haven't managed to yet this year. They're only bloody closed for the season already!

On another note, I only have 15 days at work left before I... um, errr, do something else.?! We did fall in love with San Diego at the weekend so I might look for a job there but I'm looking forward to a stint at home first to rejuvenate all that Englishness. I wonder if I'll lose weight.
