Harsh!

Wow, that last post was harsh, even for me! But it does sort of put out there what all of us who are dealing with elderly parents feel. It hasn't been so long since my Grandma died, and my mom was so frustrated about that whole situation. And despite the joking that we are all becoming our mother, it seems like it is just not registering. Oh well. As Ghandi said "Let me be the change that I hope to see in the world". As Shanybu says "You're old, get used to it".
My ad to sell my car debuts in tomorrows' paper- feels like a crappy time to try to sell it. With the winter weather upon us, and the car being parked outside, it is impossible to keep it really clean either inside or out. But it costs me $200+ per month just to sit there, even not driving it (insurance, registration, and depreciation). I will be glad when Lotta (cuz she cost me a lotta money and took me a lotta places) finds her new home and I can quit having anxiety attacks about going car-free. As my landlord pointed out, 90% of the world does not have cars and they get by just fine. And it is not as though I live in BFE. 95% of the time, the places that I go and the things that I do are within a 2 mile radius of my home. Between bicycle, bus, cab and the Amtrak I can travel pretty independently. I just need to suck it up and quit worrying about it already!
