Spring is in the Air!

The weather here lately has been fantastic. Groundhog Gen. Beauregard Lee predicted an early spring, so, barring any "March Surprise" (1993, anyone??) he got it right.

Finally cleaned up the car and put the closet in order, mostly.

It's also very freeing not to have my arms covered in layers of clothing. Let them breathe, I say!
They need room to move!! *\o/*

Took the car to the tranny shop (O/D light was flashing at times and my regular mechanic can't diagnose transmission problems). The car's been acting wonky again, so I wondered if it was finally giving up the ghost after 210,000 miles. Spent the weekend wondering if I'd have to sell it, or take out a small loan to fix it. Found out Monday...all it needed was a battery! The car sure has a funny way of telling me it needs simple repairs. (When the front brakes were going out some months ago, they didn't give the classic warning signs for that, either. I thought a wheel bearing had worn out.)

So the car's fixed, and it's get-up-and-go is BACK!! :D

(Still have to save for a replacement in the next couple of years, though. Even Nissans don't last forever.)

Made my first art card Sunday night. I thought about making some and selling them a year or two ago as a side hustle but never got started. The materials sat in my closet for months.
But sending the car to the shop made me revisit the idea. I may be tired every night after work, but I can draw. And God did not give me artistic ability just so I could park my butt in front of the TV every night. Now that the first card is done, my goal is to make a total of five cards by the end of the week. Time to get going!
