Did I mention that Jeanette got a new/ used van? I know I didn't write that Kira bought a car. She got a Hyundai Sonata. It needs little work that we know of, brakes and tires, and I hope that is all. I'm really terrified for these girls buying their cars. Too many times we've had really bad surprises!! The first car I bought Jeremy wasn't a surprise, i bought it knowing it needed a new transmission. The surprise was that it didn't seem to need anything else 😀. Well, not that we found out before he totalled it. My van was a surprise transmission repair. The worst was Steve buying a car without a test drive many years ago and it didn't have a motor in it!! I hope that was the worst. Jazz is looking at a Rogue, the car I wanted when I bought the van! We always have to worry about the transmissions and sometimes the front end.
Kira's car is really cute, it looks good on her! and is a blue color that probably pisses off the aliens but it matches her eyes. My favorite used car was a Hyundai. I worry a LOT about her wrecking it! but that will or won't happen. Kira worries way to much about her music playing for a new driver.
Oh and Dave lost his car. He has been driving it with expired plates almost since he got it. The title burned with their home and I did tell him to apply for a replacement title but he is a king of procrastination like most drug addicts. He said he didn't know how he would get it out of impound and I said, Well, you won't. By the time he could get a title the impound fee would be way more than the car is worth. I was just telling him he was going to have to move out and move on when this happened and I still am going to have to. He won't do anything until he absolutely has to and maybe not even then. Jami talks about how Dave hasn't done anything he said he would but neither has she. Similar problems. A lot of the pot calling the kettle black there. Jami just has an advantage over him because she is my daughter. I told her she is going to have to move in my room with me and Dave has to leave so I can move Jeanette in. I don't think She believes it?? Both of them, if I say anything like that, do/ say what they think will stop it. Dave will mow the lawn. He once gave me $70. Both will talk about the money they are "about to make". But they have just sat down there while I have sunk into this debt hole. I'm $5,000 in the hole Today and it's just getting worse.
And OH OH OH!! Yesterday I thought I was going to have a heart attack!! I went out back and noticed that my 6 little lilac trees were all ripped out of the ground!!! It LOOKED intentional but I'm 99% sure that it wasn't. Just a very stoned, careless, person, probably Dave?? He and Jami were both working in the yard. Jami was tending her little watermelon bed and Dave was mowing and weedeating. (Jami says he actually told her that he hoped I was noticing how helpful he is!!) If it was still blazing hot the lilac would all be dead. As it is there is a chance that a couple of them will survive. I carefully replanted them all using aged manure and humus and maybe that will save some of them. I have been super excited about finding them in the alley behind Zestos with Jenise last spring and getting 6 of them to transplant! I was sure we would have lilac sweetening the Air next spring. I couldn't wait for Jeanette to see/smell them!! Every spring since the farm I have searched for them and picked bouquets for her. And for me! Lilac sell for at least $30 each for starter trees/bushes so I figured out how to get some going for free.
SIGH.
