Eric started his car on Tues. and it made horrible end of life sounds. He had it towed to a mechanic who has confirmed it's total death. Shock. The price of having a new engine put in would be around $4000 if there was one available. Sigh.
So we're car shopping. Needs to hold 8 and be able to tow our trailer with ease. Limited in our choices for sure.
We had a salesman from Victoria bring a used GMC Suburban for Eric to test drive. We all liked the car. Car is in at the mechanics today. Salesman wasn't ready to talk price and then let us know there is someone else interested in it. So was asking us to commit without knowing the price! I'm not fond of the salesman or the process. We'll see how it pans out. Trying to stay zen. Hoping to find time this weekend to hit the car lots.
Even though it's spring break we're still scrambling around for time and sharing a car really sucks. Thank goodness Lili and Fei are old enough to babysit that sure helps.
The sun has come out and the kids are all playing in the front yard. I'd take pictures but Jia has dressed herself today ;) and Luk got a shirt on but is still in his jamma pants.
Today Eric had to drive me to work. Pick up bottles for the school from a pub in Genoa Bay. Go down and get our dead Durango and have it towed home. He came home to check on the kids and feed them lunch. Then to Mill Bay to see the lawyer working on his Mom's estate. Finally to pick up a few groceries, then to Chemainus to pick me up. Phew. After driving all the way home it seems cruel to be making him drive so much. Oh, he also went to the rv shop to find a new toilet for my motor home. Hard to color match the old 1980 stuff in there. He did find one in parchment and it's on sale.
I found a home for our last four chickens and they were picked up yesterday, they are with a nice family in Shawnigan. We already miss them.
My desk was loaded. Took me a whole day to just open all the mail and sort the piles.
Still haven't let the hospital know we're home. We really need to check on Scott. We really need more hours in a day.
Wish we were back in Cabo.
Hey, did you all see the news about the Canadian woman on holiday that was killed in Cabo by a whale landing on her tour boat?! We were there last week on the same tour! I didn't see a whale but Eric saw quite a few. He spent more time gazing out to sea.
