my to do list is shorter, however now that I’m engaged, I’m required (by law of repsonsibility) to work on some things for Mandy’s place (some painting and other minor repairs).  Now, I don’t mind this, however I perfer to ‘better’ my place, but I know how much shit continually needs to be done.  Aside from that, I’ve recently needed some work to be done on the Jeep, my rear transmission seal is leaking and my wheel cylinder is leaking.  One truly feels like they’re getting robbed no matter what.  Like going up to the mechanic and offering him an outrageous price for doing a simple oil change.  How about seven thousand dollars for the oil change?!
