<\/a>2013 Nissan Leaf<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>2014 Ford Focus Electric<\/p><\/div>\n
Lex drove it, Alan drove it, we had a little discussion, and bought a car!! I’m in the process of refinancing the house and will get some money out of it to pay for the car, so Alan wrote a check against his stock account (or something) for the short term and I’ll pay it off when the house closes. I was shocked at how much quicker the car buying process goes when you don’t need a loan!<\/p>\n
<\/a>Eeek! Lex and his first car.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>I mean, Lex and his first car and his silly dad. :)<\/p><\/div>\n
The Focus doesn’t have a long enough range to get from the dealership to our house, so Lex stopped at Alan’s house for a few hours to charge, geek about the car, and have dinner. I headed right home to see Eve for a few minutes and then pick the other one up from his new job. Lex drove himself home in the rain and dark and fog. I worried just the right amount and everything was ok. :)<\/p>\n
<\/a>Alan’s car and Lex’s car. Can you tell the Tesla Model 3 from the Ford Focus? :)<\/p><\/div>\n
Throughout the whole day I was getting incoming back-to-school emails, website update emails, and having conversations with the bank about the refi and an estate attorney about updating those docs. I felt like a very busy person! :)<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we go back to school. Five full days a week. All in person. Lex will be driving himself to and from school. B is taking the bus (unlike the other two, B’Lake says the bus is just fine and he sees nothing wrong with it), and E has chosen to have me drop her off at school each morning, even though that means she’ll get there 45m early each day! She said that beats taking the bus. Our sweet carpool deal from last year was complicated this year because of the closed bridge right between our two houses, making a short drive much much longer and therefore way less convenient.<\/p>\n
<\/a>My bulletin board with 250ish student names on it. :) It looks like confetti to me. ❤<\/p><\/div>\n
I’m looking forward to seeing all the kids again, and the fun of school, but dreading the humidity in my unairconditioned library and a little anxious about getting back into the swing of early mornings, work\/school\/work\/karate\/meetings\/activities\/etc. I’m already looking forward to next weekend! LOL!<\/p>\n
<\/a>This was my library last Friday morning. 🥵 I can’t wait until they fix the AC!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
School starts tomorrow. In normal town this day would have been spent celebrating the last day of summer and getting ready for school. I think I need another month so I can do those things! Instead today we 1) got … Continue reading
