I got a letter from the BC Cancer Cervical Screening people. The pap is irregular. I need another procedure for another biopsy. We're waiting now for a date. Still no word from pathology re: the last excision from the anus.
Eric had his stitches removed on Monday and he drove past a car lot with this Jeep. He called me, he sent pictures and he was prepared to buy it right that second. It had just come in, it didn't have a price or inspection. Eric negotiated an as is deal for $7000.
I just couldn't think straight. Sight unseen for me. Do I even like driving on trails? All the morbid thoughts, will I be here long enough to bother? Will my health even let me get back out there? Eric pushed. A friend with a previous cancer battle pointed out how great distractions are. So, even though we leave early tomorrow for our cruise, we had house, yard and pet chores to do, a couple errands in town to run and lab work needed for Kai, we rallied. Eric got up early and was at the lab at opening for Kai's two hour lab tests, I got up early and got Luk to school. Gramma picked up the boys after school and we just blew off the other errands and we went back to Langford and got me a trails, camping Jeep.
We met friends at the lot and got a bin 4 lunch out after the deal was done and before the insurance part. That was a bonus.
Best parts, Eric negotiated further, we paid $6250 :) It's already set up for camping. The back is loaded in extra Jeep parts. Including a soft top, bikini top, shade top, cargo covers, cooking shelf, Jeep mats, the original front grill and other boxes of unknown things. The inside is rhino lined so the whole thing can be hosed out. The back bumper is a fresh water storage container and everything works.
It's a 2007 JKU like Oscar (2008). A lower trim level, it's a girly Sahara with no lockers. It is filthy and needs a detail asap. Only one owner who was in his 70's. It was towed behind his motorhome. No claims. It has a drip from the radiator. Eric already has a new one in the Amazon cart. Of course.
I don't know her/his gender or name. Distraction is the leading name choice so far. Others are Dragonfly, Manly, Almonzo, Grover, Super Grover, Sapphire, Snoopy and Grumpy.
We stopped at Goldstream for a potty and photo break.
The grumpy grill is growing on me.
At first I was horrified at that skookum bumper but it actually makes a great bench.
Home.
Jeep bumbbles.
More projects for Eric to tinker with. The plan is to remove the back seat and make it my year round camping set up. Leaving Onyx ready to cart kids around without constantly moving the gear around and bed out.
Soooo fun.
I need to sleep, it's a super early start tomorrow morning.
