The Impossible Dream
|
''To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, to bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go, to right the unrightable wrong, to love, pure and chaste, from afar; to try when your arms are too weary; to reach the unreachable star. This is my Quest---to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far, to fight for the right without question or pause'' (The Impossible Dream - lyrics by Joe Darion, music by Mitch Leigh)

Gleeful good news: (and slightly guilty) I got my hands on an ARC (Advanced Reader's Copy) of a hardcover that's not going to be out for a few months from one of my favorite authors. Guilty because I bought it at a used book store for the price of a paperback (they're not supposed to resell them!) But I didn't buy another ARC that I saw there because I don't think I could stand the guilt. (And it wasn't an author I knew, but the book sounded interesting).Morose news: My car is sick! The check engine light came on on Friday and it didn't go off. (Every now and then it flickers). That and I had gotten a safety recall notice for the power steering so I decided to bring it it. Whelp, the check engine light was because my gas cap was faulty (who knew?). $84 for diagnostic and replacement. I had them look at my windshield sprayer (the driver's side wasn't working) $84 to repair and replace. And then the gem? My brakes were metal on metal (who knew?). $375 to fix. And that was just what they found at first glance. So I authorized them to take care of it (bleah!) but it's still not ready to be picked up. So Purge is going to drop me off at my belly dancing class and then I'll hang around the school for an hour and wait for him to come pick me up. Or maybe I'll stay home and read my contraband!
