But I still have it good.

What a rough winter it has been thus far.  DH has been trying his hardest to work.  And it's not every week. Which is desperately what we need.  And then....
1.  The jeep involuntarily hit some guard rail again.  Two accidents less than a year apart = $2000 deductible.
2.  New studded tires (live and learn, yes?) = $704.
3.  100,000 mile maintenance = Who knows?  Best guess = $1500.
4.  The torque converter decided to go kaput two days after new tires and body repair = $750.

But I don't have much to complain about.  It's only money as they say.  I just wish I could find some of it to pay for the parts we have yet to purchase to get the jeep running again.  But this gives me a chance to show myself patient and faithful.  And that lesson = PRICELESS.

But to save some money, perhaps I should move closer to work and ride a bicycle.  I wonder how much studded snow tires cost for a mountain bike?

    1. We were not hurt in the least...only emotionally and financially. Bubble wrap may not be a bad idea :) We are hanging in there. Trying our hardest to survive. Nothing new. Just different support group surrounds us here. New faces that is. But part of me will always wish we didn't leave :)
