Car didn’t get repaired today. They have promised me that it will be done by tomorrow afternoon. The cushion that I had to prepare for Liz and Luke has all but disappeared. Fortunately my parents came to the house and cleaned today. I just wasted the day away.

What does one do when carless on a cold, rainy day in Monteagle? Not much of anything! I dropped my car off at the mechanic’s at eight this morning and biked back to the cottage. Highlights of the day include napping, reading, and walking to the Mexican restaurant for lunch. At three my car was ready, so I biked back to get it. The rear end was fixed but steering still was off. He said they reattached a hose bit couldn’t get all of the air out of the lines, but driving it a bit would improve things. So I drove over to campus but the goats weren’t out. Then I drove to the Natural Bridge and took a few pictures. Just with my phone, I was too lazy to set up my real camera. It looked pretty with all the mist. Next I drove to Foster Falls. I just walked to the overlook. No pictures because I was talking on my phone. My steering hasn’t really improved. This has me a little nervous and will keep my from driving home tonight. I would much rather have a serious issue in the daylight. I do have a touch of cabin fever though, and might try to go photograph at one of the lakes tonight of it isn’t too drizzly. There should be some moon out to help light things a little.
