The apartment is right by garybart's new employer, like a five minute walk. It's a one bedroom but with a considerably larger living room than our current one. Good for having company (hint hint).
(Can I nickname the employer, in the spirit of Fair to Middling State University? "Gary's Small Liberal Arts College." Go GSLAC!)
My sympathies on the car issue. Last week I was seriously facing the possibility of replacing ours, which would also have been at an awkward time. Besides I am pretty attached to that car. But repairs turned out to be only about $450 and the car has been unreasonably reliable for years in that way that Japanese cars can be.
I have decided that one downside of not being religious is that I have no one to offer gratitude to when I get undeserved good luck, like the car NOT being destroyed. Mental note to self: don't complain about next small incident of bad luck...
Separate heartfelt gratitude goes to rianders and mischievouspie who came to pick us up on a Sunday AGAIN.
