It's only money, right?

So I got my car back. I think I'm basically over being pissed off now. Shit happens and if I wanna drive my car I just have to deal with it. At least I had money put aside and I'm not going to go into debt over it....even though I had much better plans for the money. *sigh*

But wow, what a difference! The clutch obviously felt a lot different, but boy was it sure nice to feel all the power back in my baby. I really do enjoy driving my car! Zip, zip, zooooom! And the roads were so nice and so clear for the first time since I got here....I actually enjoyed the drive home and felt like a real member of Halifax society. :) I even learned a new route that shaved a good 5 minutes off the drive.

If only I hadn't had to come home and get back to work. Boooo. I could be out there zipping around and enjoying the $2000 I just spent!!

Oh well, I have to go back out later to pick up my insurance and hopefully head over to get my new plates and registration too. (FYI: the insurance itself worked out to be about the same cost as it was in BC....except that I still have about another $150 to cough up for registration so it's actually more expensive...lame.)

Someone wanted marshmallows apparently!

This is what all the lights and ruckus were about the other night:

Homeless set blaze in abandoned tunnel under Douglas Street

I forgot what it's like to live in the city!

Ooooooh, Mikey you'd be so jealous! I just got quite the show of flashing lights and sirens out my window.

Cop cars and fire trucks and rescue vehicles...oh my!

Blocking off at least a whole block of Douglas Street that I could see. Not sure what was up as it didn't seem like a dire emergency, but there was a fire truck stopped outside the National Rental Car place and a bunch of firefighters doing something at the back corner of the building. They were a bit too far around the corner for me to see, but there was banging and flashlights and such....I'm thinking maybe someone got stuck under the building or something. Stupid junkies!!

Anyway, it was a fun little show right before bed.
