Rebecca kicks up the leaves and the magic is lost.

What a week it's been. I meant to update this sooner, but I've had a busy few days. On Tuesday, Sara and I were both off, so we finally went out and bought a car. I'm still getting used to it. It's much lower to the ground than the truck, and it feels weird having to look up at drive-through windows. I've gotten it insured, but I still have some more paperwork left to do. Right now I'm just happy to have the car-buying process over with. It was very stressful and hurtful things were said. Sara gave me a bumper sticker that says Klaxonnez si vous parlez francais (Honk if you speak French). So far, no one has klaxonned.

Immediately after buying it, I drove to the local McDonald's, which was having a 70 cents sale on cheeseburgers! Rebecca was in hog heaven, literally. I don't even if care if they're not kosher.

When I woke up this morning, I had a bad sore throat and sinus congestion, and it's only gotten worse as the day goes on. I'm utilising my mom's fix-all solution, "Drink more fluids!" I really hope I haven't caught something serious; I've had some nasty flus that started out this way. At least I'm off tomorrow. I had been planning to run some errands, but I think I might stay home and be lazy recover my health.

On top of everything else, all this week I've still been job-hunting (haven't heard back from anywhere yet, but I keep on looking) and our computer is giving us problems. In its defense, it is six years old now, which is really old for a computer. Just in case it crashes, I've been bailing out all the documents I want to save and putting them onto flash drives. Is it sad that the one thing I was most concerned saving about was my fanfiction? Don't answer that.

Oh, well. Looking forward to temple services tomorrow, and a new (finally) episode of NCIS (Ships in the Night) next week.
