nerves

My head is buzzing with dealer holdbacks, license fees, invoice vs. MSRP and the lovely ad cost the manufacturer often folds into the deal.

Yep, we're going car shopping this weekend. Nervous much?

I had a dream last night; I was in a pharmacy with Damian but had to leave and go to a bank-like place. I ended up leaving him there, supposedly under some bank clerk's watchful eye, because I had to go back to the pharmacy and haggle -- I clearly remember haggling taking place -- over my purchase. All the while standing there and thinking "I have to go, I left Damian in that strange place, what if something happens to him? I have to get back to him, this can't take as long as it's taking, I have to get out of here."

Funny, I thought I'd be nervous about the transaction, the potential for dealer sleaze and smiles, the very real possibility we'll be scammed or that the attempt will be made, at any rate. But really? I think I'm most nervous about being trapped in a car dealership for hours on end with a restless, bored five year old. The rest I can handle.

Hopefully this is to the author of "The pillow book"

site. Beautiful writing, with a 2000 year history.

Blogs hadn't been used yet in original site, such progress in that,and your family. I enjoyed your +/-

thoughts of maybe living with an inlaw and speaking the old language. Decisions about personal use of an

Rx.(my background medicine/pharmacology). New car buying psychopharmacology. Txs an excellent artist enjoyed by a right/left brain doc wanting to visit Japan.
