It's the end of an era.
On Sunday I drove the little car up to Boston for the very last time, and on Monday I signed it over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paradoox and left it in his garage as he drove me to South Station to get my bus home to NYC, car-free once more.
I only cried a little when I got home. :-}
I keep soothing myself with "Someday you can have another little car..." "But I don't WANT another car, I want THIS one! I never did get to take it on that cross-country road trip!" *sniff* At the same time, it's already a mercy not to have to deal with parking. And at least it's still sort of 'in the family', so if you Boston folks happen to see it around, you'll know why.
Yesterday I had a 2nd job interview (which was supposed to run 1:30-4pm and ended up running past 5pm, which I think is good?) and a membership cocktail party for the Blue Hill Troupe, both of which were fun, but draining back-to-back.
Today I've had the fridge repair guy in (the insulation was pulling away from the door), and designed and ordered my Rosh Hashanah cards, and puttered around on the computer -- need to do some more actual productive things there, in fact, and then go do laundry, and THEN reward myself by running some fun errands over on Broadway, like the Kosher Marketplace.
Tomorrow I have a first interview with a second day school (Flatbush, though the interview is at someone's office in Midtown), so we'll see how that goes.
Friday I'm having one more bookcase delivered from Staples (try how we might, it's just not going to work without one, as we'd repurposed my biggest one into pantry shelving).
Oh right, and Saturday night I'm singing chorus for a "semi-staged production" of Iolanthe, 7:30pm at 40 E. 35th St.; you NYC folks should come see me if you can. :-) We had a stumble-through rehearsal last weekend and it made me incredibly happy, reminding me just how much I adore this show. Though I always say about Iolanthe that it's really more fun to be in than to watch.
And hopefully soon we'll schedule a housewarming and actually have people over (besidesjessruth)!
