I have a BITER!

This Friday I will show off my car to a potential buyer! I am breaking a sweat just thinking about it. Or I could be breaking a sweat from recovering from the flu these past few days...

Being sick, which meant chills and fever, body aches (even my scalp hurt!), sore throat, and exhaustion really put me in check about the changes I am going to have to make when I don't have a car. I can't just hop in a car and drive my sick butt to the doc! Location and every step I make, is going to matter when I am sick with the flu. And yet, I know that these challenges will suck but they are just as surmountable as me recovering from the dreaded flu. After all I am on the mend and with no doctor's help to boot!

I chose to drive to work today, because my throat was still sore and I did not want to risk relapse. I freely admit I loved being in my car. The heater, the sun roof, the music... And then I found myself becoming irritable sitting in traffic, constantly speeding up and slowing down, I wondering if I was going to make it to work in time for my team meeting.

And then I felt guilty for driving, the weather was very tolerable. Just some clouds, in the high 50's. If Jeannie, Tyler, and Jennifer and thousands of others can go without the machine, so can I!

I learned that I will have to move over the next few months, again. Although I am sick and tired of moving (this will be the fourth time in two years), the part that makes me nervous is that my options will be more narrow. I need to live in a decent neighborhood, that is not in a hilly area (trust me, they matter on a bike, even the small ones), that is within two miles of BART and a grocery store. These requirements can certainly be met and fortunately I have time to find the right place. But it's good to acknowledge another challenge I did not think of when I committed to selling my car.

But make no mistake people.
I will sell my car.
I will pay down my horrid debt.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HA!
