Lessons

Well, things are not much more certain than the last post, in terms of what we are going to do for a work vehicle for D. But what is certain is that we have good financing and a low rate, which is a relief, since the "financing" which our first guy wanted to hook us up with was a loan shark who wanted us to sign our lives away. We aren't fools, and we didn't go for it. But it shows us now, more than ever, that to act in haste would definitely be to repent in leisure. We looked at options with real banks, and found that we are in decent shape. We wish we were in a position to buy a car outright, but we aren't, and unfortunately we need to act soon, and don't have the luxury of saving up. So there it is.

The weekend was long and hard, and this week has started us out with a heavy mental load. But tomorrow has enough worries of it's own. I need to get the girls to an early AM dentist appointment, get them to school, drop Jude off with my sister-in-law, get back to kindergarten to help with "kidwriting", etc., etc.; see what I mean about tomorrow? And we know we are taking steps. What more can really be expected? Today is ending with peace, and I know that we will find the right truck or van, not just "a" truck or van. For this evening though, I found an apple. And proceeded to overwork it in pastel.
