Meg's uncle called tonight to say that they want to start on the garage remodel project on FRIDAY! Uh...no! Can't be done because the garage isn't cleaned out...but it can be cleaned out by Monday, so that's the plan. Monday. Hmmm....looks like I'll have a busy weekend!
This morning when we got up, Meg informed me that she got an email with her final grade for the class she almost gave up on: 97%! What a relief! Not only that she finished the class, but that she finished it with flying colors! Tonight, I took the children out for dinner and then to the park so she could take an online test for her other class, and she aced it, too! We are celebrating this evening with a feeling of general "ahhhhh..." My contribution was the proverbial kick-in-the-pants that it took to keep her from giving up...and freeing up her time by helping with the children and tackling weekend work without her so she could do assignments. Was it worth it? Big time!
I am without a vehicle for the next day or two while it is in the shop for a cam positioning sensor. This is the reason for the intermittent non-starting...or so I'm told. If everything goes well, it will ONLY cost me $200. If there is a "magnet" problem, it could be a lot more. Money is tight, but I am hoping for the best.
So here we go. This project will not be "done" for months, but at least it is beginning!
