Internet Projects Neglected
My Internet ventures have been neglected and I haven’t even kept up with my writing jobs lately. It has been due to events related to my stolen car. I have been busy with insurance, a temporary rental, and earning money for another car. The insurance rental gave me a taste of the “good life” which has been very motivating.
My car that got stolen was an old junker, but it got me around. I had full coverage on it only because I went on vacation a couple months ago and had my insurance upgraded to cover the vacation rental. When I got back, I never got around to taking off the coverage. My car was worth so little that I didn’t get much from the insurance company when it was recovered and totaled. So now I have to work hard to earn money for another car. My wonderful youngest son and his wonderful girlfriend are giving me rides or lending their car to me until I can get another one.
The upside of my car being stolen is that I upgraded my insurance rental to a 2010 red Mustang convertible for $5 a day! The best $45 I’ve spent. It also gave me the push I needed to upgrade my car. I am still getting an older car (inexpensive registration and insurance), but it is worth 3x what the one that got stolen and is in much better shape. It isn’t a convertible, but it has a sunroof!
I made the most of the blessing of having a Mustang convertible for 9 days and 8 nights. My daughter is my photographer and took some great pictures. A cheap black dress, a borrowed hat, and a Mustang convertible can make even me look good! I even got Bob Schmuck, my son in a few pictures.
Having a taste of the good life is like getting slapped in the face to “wake up”. It is easy to be comfortable in life as you know it and forget the opportunities and possibilities in life. Experiencing life from the driver seat of a red convertible Mustang woke me up!
I hope and pray that you achieve all that you are working toward. You deserve much better. Can’t wait to see the new(to you)car.
Thank you! I agree…I deserve better.
I have been ready and waiting and working hard for a long time for things to be better. Maybe the Mustang is the tip of the iceberg and a sign of things to come!
