An Open Canvas for Hope, Change and Imagination

On top of my list of usual stressors (it turns out I’m a relatively high stress person), this week I’ve been tackling a lot of adult stuff. Like 401k’s, Roth IRAs, investments. Yuck. It all sucks and gives me so much anxiety.

And I’m also contemplating other big life decisions that also give me anxiety. Now, to add to the list of decisions that need to be made and carefully calculated:

I need to buy a new car.

I’ve known that this would be coming, but my goal was to make it to the end of February. But, shopping with my father tonight has taught me that I have “a dangerous exhaust leak.” Which is also probably the culprit to the terrible head ache I have. Anyway, after I learned that my transmission was going out I told myself I wasn’t putting any more money into this car. Funny thing: I have a list of five serious problems with the car that I’ve been patiently waiting to explode on me. This leaking exhaust thing came out of left field.

So, I’m going to do a lot of research this weekend and then my mom and I are going to test drive cars Monday evening and then if I find something I’ll drag my dad out Tuesday evening to actually buy it.

I’m tired of being an adult. I need a life coach to walk me through these decisions.
