Up and at'em?

Big Blue got a bit of a makeover this morning.  Brand spanking new alternator and battery.  It took some tinkering and an extra set of hands (thank you sir) in order to get it all back together, but it was finished early this morning.  Does Big Blue run???  Yes?  I really do mean that as a question.  She started up as she usually does churning a bit and struggling to turn over.  Then she cut out again as she is prone to do.  So is she fixed?  I think so, but only time will tell.  I'm going to go chat with the auto parts guys again to see what more I can learn about vehicles and how they work and what could be causing such a problem.  Either way I'm thankful for friends, help, and hope that Big Blue may last till we are through with her.

Today should also be the day I am completely, officially out of my old place.  My former roommates have been more than gracious with their space and allowing me to mosey on out, but enough is enough.  I do believe they were starting to think I might never move all of my stuff out and to be quite honest I thought it would never happen either.  Not because of motivation, because of time.  I seriously do not know where all of my time has gone these past two weeks.  Well, that's not entirely true.  To be fair though I have not had that much extra time to accomplish the final packing and storage stages of the move.  It's kind of sad to be officially out though I am excited to be almost completely out of structured housing--the instruments will definitely be staying indoors.  Pretty wiped out after all of the fixing and packing and storing that went on today.  Hopefully I will have some time to post on some motherly wisdom I received about this journey (interesting how mother's always have the motherly wisdom to dish out) and more about what's behind all of this and why I'm motivated to press forward.  Particularly the doubts I've had about all of this the past couple of days with Big Blue going down and the desire to just be free of its complications and go back to a reasonably comfortable life in a house.  Until then I bid you adieu.
