Bianca, the Power Subaru™
Aug. 14th, 2009 11:09 amShe'd started making a random noise in low gears as of Wednesday afternoon, and I was freaking out. I was trying to be analytical about it, noting when it happened, if I was in gear, which gear, etc. This morning I went to the repair shop that's literally two blocks down the road and recommended by my housemate.
Consultation cost: $0
My relief that it's okay, for now, but I will need a new clutch in the future (I knew this; it's the original clutch and she now has over 114,000 miles on her): Priceless
On the way to work today I'll be getting a pair of size 10 circulars so I can continue on with another baby sweater project, this one a retro cabled pullover. Hopefully it will be a good sales day as it's the end of our two week pay cycle, but even if not, my relief over the car is enough to get me through. And it's a weekend! And I'll begin house and cat sitting for my friends down the road, so even if I'm not there all the time, I have my own house to retreat to for 10 days, a quiet house with a lovely gazebo out back for writing, because the rewrite for Maelstrom and Mage has begun. And I'm pleased. Oh, and it's a gorgeously chill, overcast day. :D
EDIT: Squeeee! Joy of joys, I just got a call from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elfscribe5, who's had a summer gig out in the desert and been nearly 100% offline and impossible to reach. I'm so glad her time there is nearly over and she'll be back to civilization soon.
