 "Covid is over and I've gone back to normal, but covid isn't going away anytime soon so why are you still protecting yourself" is a very wild, almost verbatim sentence I heard from a friend's friend today 🙃 

 Quote for the 2nd car repair this week just came in and while it wasn't the fix that would have literally cost more than the car's value, it was  nooooooooooooot cheap. Not quite happy about it all!

Oh, and a 3rd vehicle decided to have a problem this week. This time my mom's truck that I was trying to help her with in getting an air permit. That one seems, hopefully, not too bad, but like COME ON! 

 Fun Fact: did you know they re-upped the 9/11 emergency order recently, even though all COVID emergency orders have expired?
