D & his little corolla. don't mind his crazy hair, he's really due for a haircut
so this past week D bought a new car and he's really happy about it. i'm really happy that's he's such a great guy and is willing to give me rides when he can and we're both really happy we can start eating better again. i'm not sure when i'll be ready to drive again, after the accident i was in december driving my friend's car, i don't think i'm in a good state of mind to drive myself anywhere for a while. but that's okay because i don't mind riding the bus (i only get cranky when it takes more than two hours to get somewhere, anything under an hour i'm totally okay) and i've found out a way to use the metrolink to cut my time. plus i have great friends who are willing to give me rides places and now D has a car so he can pitch in too. i'm so lucky.
so, since we were told it would be too expensive to fix the transmission on the corolla, and D got a new car, we decided it was best if we donated the corolla to a foundation whose cause we felt closely connected to. last year, D was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, an autoimmune disease that to this day does not have a cure, and it's been pretty hard dealing with it. especially at first when doctor's told us there was a possibility of it being Chron's. thankfully, it wasn't, and now we are doing things like changing our diet so that D doesn't experience flare-ups. anyway, we decided to donate the car to the CCFA, Chron's & Colitis Foundation of America to help fund research, etc. D has had this car since 1999 when he got it at the dealership. he paid for it without any help from anyone, and he has good memories with friends who are long gone in it, so it was really hard for him to let it go. but, in the end, i'm pretty sure we made the right decision.
starting off our goal of giving back to the universe on a good note i think!
