maybe.. finally??!!??!!

I have not been able to move in yet. After I got my car back the last time.. the engine decided it wanted a rest. Permanently.

So rather than toss more money after what we've already spent, my family decided to buy a POS Saturn that was for sale across the street, pop some new tires on it and try again. So I now need to go get the new tires, an oil change, and a stereo before I head out. Unfortunately I only have an "In transit" registration, which means I technically can only drive it between where it is now, and Chicago.

We don't expect the car to make it through the next year, but if it runs long enough for me to find work and get a new one.. we're happy.

I was ready to leave weeks ago... I love my family, but... I would like to be able to move into the apartment I'm paying rent on. Preferably 2 weeks ago.

The only upside to the whole still being stuck here thing is I got to see Serwah for a couple days.
