Give yourself credit for anything you've done right!

On the spur of the moment after visiting The PR, I stopped into a "quickie" oil change place.  Wise decision.  I had no oil left.  I definitely do not need to have an auto breakdown now.

Next on the list, coolant change, brakes, serpentine belt.

Had a vehicle years ago that burned through oil like crazy when it got up in miles. It never leaked or smoked so it was weird; had to check it weekly.

My first car was a bit like that. (checked 'only' every fortnight).
With my second car I was stunned that I did not have to refill oil all the time. Found it hard to trust that it really did not need that oil in the beginning.

The Matrix has almost 130,00 miles on it (2003 model).  I knew about needing the oil change and the repair work (including a slight oil leak)  for over 6 months.  I just kept shuffling it to the bottom of the deck. 

I'm going to be more proactive in the future.  (It's hard to be proactive in the past, isn't it?)

  I just voted.  My voice has been heard!

My willingness to change has increased. 





In a thousand years I'll be AWESOME!

  You're majestically great right now.

  Yesterday my computer stopped playing sound on YouTube videos.  That's a major gripe,
  since about 40% of my computer use is for music.  Fortunately there was a prompt on the
  video in question that led me to the correct sequence of actions.  I re-enabled sound playing
  and saved the day!  It took a few attempts to make it stick, but I did it.

I spoke to a bunch of strangers today and had actual pleasant conversations with them. I'm going to try to up the number next time. One old woman took a disliking to me, but hey ho, everyone else took a liking to me. A couple of bus drivers were very off with me too, but that didn't stop me.

by now py has forgotten that she did this so i am posting it. on sunday we had about four inches of snow and poor plowing. this is py's first winter driving. going around a corner the car started to fishtail and she did exactly the right things. she's heard instructions, i think, but no experience.

i was astounded and very proud.
mr. dyslexic has never been able to steer properly into a skid.

I found the best most elusive gift for sugarbutt, I'm going to let the boy give it to him. He's going to be so excited.

for both you and Pyraxis.

I have skidded around a roundabout twice (the same one, it's big) and managed not to lose control of the car. Don't know how I would go in snow. Pretty poorly I think!

Not smoked for about 12 months. I don't know the exact date of my last cigarette, but it was last December.

When you plussed Pyraxis, you called her an excellent driver.
