And, it’s Friday. You know, no one can take that away from you.

I find that, ever since we got the new car, I’m obsessing about cars. My lease is due next year, so my eye is wandering.

Now, I sort of have some time here. I mean, my lease it’s due till end of next year. But, due to my work moving during the course of the lease, if I wait that long I’ll be so over miles it won’t even be funny. So I either buy the car, or turn it in early. And yeah, you can, I have before. They SAY you can’t, that you can suffer for it, and sure, if you treat the car like crap, you will. But if you have normal wear and tear, and it’s a nice enough car, it’s not an issue. At least, it’s never been for me.

So knowing that, I want to know what I want. Which means I obsess. And I will keep obsessing till that damn itch is scratched, because that’s how I am. For me, problems are a thing to be solved, so if I can’t immediately solve it, it sticks in my craw something terrible.

You people have no idea just how massive a pain in the ass I can be.

It’s annoying for me, and anyone near me. So I’m going to try and just test drive something this week, to sort of massage things. I find if I just decide on what I’m doing, I can give myself breathing room. I think it’s this blank spot that exists in my head for “Next Years Car:TBD” that’s bugging the hell out of me. I need to at least have a drawing in that spot or I think I might just go mad. On that says “Next Years Car: This One” and I’ll calm the hell down.
