A rather large update
Quite a bit has been happening in my life lately. quite a bit indeed. First, Erin and I sold both of our previous vehicles and have purchased a 2006 Scion Xa. It was a very easy purchasing process. Apparently the prices are the same no matter where you are in the country. You go to the Scion website, pick you model, pick your options, print it out and take it to a dealer who sells it to you. The only real unknowns are you local taxes and license fees (easily discoverable though), and of course your APR which is based on your credit score. However, anyone who doesn't know about where their credit score is by now is living under a rock, or should be! So we got a great 5.74 APR on a 60 month financing term. We are about 1 day away from having all of our selected options installed as well. It is a strange feeling that in less than a week we went from having two older but 100% paid for vehicles, to one nice new compact car. But we love it, so that is really all that matters.
Next, my dentist work is just about completed. I only have one more session to go on the 11th. Then I will be good for 3-6 months. It is nice to finally have this behind me. My medical issue as well seems to be on the way out. The popular belief is that the cause was food borne, most likely from fish. The only place I could have gotten this was from a Mahi fish taco I ate at Anthony's Bell Street Diner about 24 hours before the first symptoms occurred. I don't know how keen I will be to eat there again, but I certainly won't be giving up on fish in general. It is too bad though, because Erin and I both loved the food there. Oh well, the chances of it happening again is pretty remote to begin with anyway. Sunday we are going out for sushi and I don't feel at all nervous about it. Sushi is yummy.
Finally, yard work is needing to be done again. Nothing dies off here like it did in Denver. Back there, every winter all the weeds would die off and have to start over. Here, everything just kind of slows down for the cold rainy winter. As soon as we get a full day of 60 degrees the grass is half a foot tall again. And the weeds are annoying as hell! It doesn't help that the yard behind us has more weeds than grass. However, I do have another plant project. I planted a 4" coffee tree that I will be caring for at work. I doubt it will ever yield any amount of usable coffee beans, but it is still a pretty good looking plant!
