In a Bit of a Daze

After wrecking my vehicle(click on the title to learn more), I have been in a bit of a daze.  I got really sick the same week that I had my wreck.  It was not pretty.  I used up the little sick time that I had saved up since my wife's surgery.  I imagine that I was a victim of my own stress that week.  I don't normally get a fever.  It's scary right now not having a second car.  Technically, I have my grandfathers 1979 Ford Ranchero to drive to and from work. 

It is a very low mileage vehicle even lower than my own vehicle.  I have driven this classic beauty for the last three summers in a row.  It's great to haul around my mountain bike, but it only is a two seater.  I am not sure what I am going to do about buying a second vehicle.  I got just a little bit of money for the wreck, and I got a little bit more back from taxes.  Combine this will be the start of either a down payment or buy a car with that money.  It's really up to God at this point.  That's a really scary idea.  I have been in this place before.  God came through for me that time.  I don't know why it's so scary this time around.  I guess that is why God tests our faith once and awhile.  I know that I don't learn the lesson the first time every time.

That's about all I have to say about that, if you have any thoughts please share them with me in a comment.

A sad day for cars

I have sad news to report. Today, I hit a patch of black ice on my route to work. I spun out and hit the concrete divider and ended up in the ditch on the side of the road. I am alright but my neck is sore. My poor car doesn't seem to have fared as well. So, it looks like I will be driving the Ranchero till I get myself a new ride.

Emotional Fuel Tank

I am sorry to report that this week has drained my emotional fuel tank.  I have been working really hard, and I really don't have anything left today.  I don't think this next week is going to be any easier.  If you haven't looked at my Ride of The Week section click on the blog title to check it out. 

Thank you for viewing my blog.  Please comment and subscribe, I hope to have something more substantial next week.
