Not worth my speedo being off IMO.

I just have to make the drive out to my tuner and he will adjust it all for me at no extra charge.

where do you plug your phone in for music, or the GPS, or the 8-track player. Also, did you get the Key recall done for this car, you know, in case your knee hits it and it turns the car off, along with the airbags.

I stopped by the shop that works on my Camaro and spoke to them about my "wiggle". I will be dropping it off tomorrow morning for them to get me ready for this year at the track.

Then spoke to them about getting some work done on my truck, and I will be dropping that off sometime in the next couple weeks to get them to install some "maintenance" pieces. Needing new serpentine belt, pulleys, belt tensioner, and water pump. I have all the parts, just need their services to get it all installed. Gave a pretty good quote so will get that taken care of also. Truck has 152k miles on it, never had any of those items replaced..I think it's lasted pretty good...lol.

And for me...I am off work tomorrow, whoo hoo!

That would be considered "enhancement-maintenance". But I am getting some other "bolt-ons" done on it later. Got some Bilstein 5100's to install on it. Will get that done with the frame replacement.

Keep your head up. Don't stress yourself out more. You know how to get ahold of me if you need to vent or anything.

Do your best to have faith that your life is going to unfold as it should. Show up, do your best, accept setbacks and move forward.

"What if's" will drive you mad, and sometimes it takes a conscious, concerted effort to combat it.

I'll also add to kind of force yourself to think positive or stay positive. If it's a set back then use it to fuel your drive to go for another one, yes it will impact things but do not let it knock you over. Gotta get up and keep pushing for what it is you want.

If you stay positive and get the internship it'll feel so much better because you knew you would get it. Major confidence boost

you have enough friends and support on this site, anyone would pick up the phone and call you to let you know how great of a girl you are. Life is, well life...it's hard, work is work, and play is play. Finding that mix isn't easy, but you are smart, level headed and full of common sense. You will make good decisions, and we will be there to keep picking you up, when you get knocked down.
