The Reasonably Priced Car

I got the car! A car. Not new, but new-ish, only 6 years old, a 2012 Nissan Versa SV. Here's a picture:

Took that in the Target parking lot today. As you can see, it's a basic car. It's automatic, has a rear-window defroster (I've coveted one forever), the a/c works though the fan is noisy due to having a dead mouse or rat in it. (A long dead one, there is zero dead rodent smell.) The corpse was, of course, removed at the dealer, and they cleaned out this little pile of what I guess was the creature's nest, which we found when I looked in the spare tire well in the trunk. Otherwise the car was spotless. There's a scratch or two, but nothing major. I'm hoping it lasts me a while.

That was my excitement. I'm still finding my way around inside, like getting the seat to be comfortable, figuring out how to use the audio (radio and cd player both seem to work just fine) and hoping the former owner kept it as well maintained engine-wise. I'll just have to see. So far it drives very nice.

I've been feeling somewhat anxious all day. It's probably just reaction from this weird week. I hope I don't spiral down into another depressed mode. I still feel a lot better than I was feeling a few weeks ago. I still think it was partly I had some sort of virus.

Well that's enough for now. I'm going to try to write some stuff in a notebook, with a pen. My hands are getting sore from typing. I need a change of media.
