The Car
One of the last things my husband did while he was up and around was to take the car he drives the most to have it inspected. Then as he began to have more physical problems and I was wrapped up in his needs, I just put the fact of the car out of my mind and did what was important for the moment. But every once in a while, he asks me about the car and I knew I had to take care of it, ---at least pay the bill. So, today was the day. I went to the garage and paid the bill and it turned out to be more emotional for me than I'd anticipated. But now I'm able to tell him that we've taken care of the car. I'm glad I did that chore for him.

Good for you for taking care of that bit of business, NJ. It'll be one less thing for your sweetheart to worry about.

I need to get mine in for an inspection too, It is making a weird noise when It starts to move, like a slipping fan belt. I know that will cost more than I have right now, so I am putting it off.
