My car

Oh, I'm just so frustrated with my car.  It's a 2001 Chevy Malibu and just isn't starting anymore.

A little bit of back story:  I  bought it about 3 years ago for 3,000 for Credit King.  It started out great, then about 6mos later it started to think that I was stealing the car. It was really annoying then my grandpa showed me how to trick it into letting me start it.   Now that battery is draining and nobody knows what's causing it.  This has happened 3 times the past two months.  It's getting very annoying.

My grandpa and uncle have worked so hard on it and spent a lot of money that now it feels like it's a money pit.  It just doesn't make sense to me to put any more money into it.  I'd really like to just sell it or scrap it to get some more money to put down on a new(er) car.  I'm not sure what to do.  What would you do?

Making some changes

Hey guys!

I've been really busy at work and started college Algebra last week, so unfortunately I haven't been able to do daily journals.  Which now that I'm thinking about it may be a good thing.  I think that my daily life might be boring.  I'm thinking about changing my format to write blogs just when I do something really interesting.  I'll probably still do a weekly blog with what I did day to day every once in a while.

This past week at work I trained a new girl at work.  She called in sick on her first day (monday), which sort've ruined my plans to leave her by herself for 20 minutes on tuesday to go to a dementia discussion group.  She's doing okay, but on friday she messed up pretty bad on the lunch drinks.  Some of the residents haven't warmed up to her yet, and the want me in the dining room all the time.  Then she talked about finishing her CNA, so I'm not sure she'll stay in dietary very long.

I also helped my grandma install an Evenflo Maestro in her car for her granddaughter.  I felt like I almost broke my back!  I wish that I took a picture :(

I get sent home from work on Saturday because I got sick.  I wish that I didn't get sick because we get pay differential  on the weekends.  Oh, well.  I slept until 5:30pm and felt much better.  I went to work on Sunday, then I finally got to go to the dementia discussion group.

Also, on Saturday was the baby shower that my mom and sister was hosting for their friend.  I guess my diaper bottles and diaper cake were a hit.  <3
