A PERSONAL NOTE

 

Good morning, friends! I hope the week has been kind to you!

Last week was quite a busy one. I moved into a new place and got my
things out of storage. As wonderful as new experiences have been, it
felt wonderful to be surrounded by the familiar. I don't have my books
here yet (my back couldn't take moving all those boxes), but I have my
kitchen things, my dad's desk, my bedding, my needlework supplies, my
art...so many little things that I have amassed over the years.

It's been a real joy to cook using the huge variety of spices that I own
and the cookware that I so carefully selected. I've made some of my
family's favorite meals and had my daughter over to eat with me. It's a
real "life is good" feeling.

The downside is that my vehicle is truly and irrevocably DEAD. My Jeep
was having some issues before I left, and I sent her to the shop for a
repair. For a week, it seemed like the problem was resolved, but then I
went outside one morning and started her up...and the problem was, in
fact, worse than I had ever thought. The extensive repair required
wasn't worth doing on an older vehicle. And even if it was, it far
exceeded my emergency fund. (We're talking a five-figure engine
replacement here - it's just not happening. And yes, I also priced out
used engines - still not within reach.)

Luckily this happened before I signed a lease on a place. I decided to
make the radical money-saving move of not having a vehicle for a while.
I got a rental that is well-situated for walking. My daughter rightly
pointed out that for the past six months, I've been perfectly fine to
walk everywhere, and she's right. So until I have saved up enough for a
cash purchase, I'll be on foot.

I have mixed feelings, of course.  As someone who's been driving since
it was legal for me to be on the road, I would obviously prefer to have
a working vehicle. At the same time, with the world as crazy as it is, I
just don't want to get underneath a car payment. I also don't want to
completely exhaust my emergency fund to buy an old vehicle that could
also need repairs.

Some other positives to my situation are that I will be able to maintain
the increased energy and fitness I developed while wandering all over
the Balkan Peninsula for six months.  The last time I came back from an
extended meander, I quickly slipped back into the American habit of
driving everywhere, and my health improvements were short-lived. I'm
only a five-minute walk from a good grocery store, a thirty-minute city
bus ride from my daughter's place, and a 15-minute walk from a shopping
center with other essentials. And with the delivery culture here, it's
pretty easy to get anything I might need brought straight to my door.

I know this is a decision with which a lot of folks will disagree. Many
people will see all the drawbacks to this and think it's a terrible
idea. Believe me, as a chronic overthinker, I have probably thought of
all those scenarios and more. But at this time, I firmly believe I'm
making the best choice for both my finances and my health.

I've always been a person who was willing to make drastic changes. This
has allowed me to change my life when it needed changing and to
extricate myself from bad situations or difficulties. A lot of times,
people don't agree with or understand my decisions, but the thing I've
learned is that you must follow your instincts sometimes. While my
situation is not something I would have deliberately chosen, I feel like
I'm making limoncello from the lemons that my vehicle disaster has
served me. (Let's be real, who wants lemonade when you can have
limoncello?)

So, new adventures await!

I hope that your week ahead is wonderful!
