I sold the car today! The new owner will be picking "Sheila" up tomorrow after work. Sheila is what I named my car. Actually my friend Rachel named her and it just stuck.
My cousin Kate informed me the other day that "sheila" is actually slang in Australia/New Zealand for a female. I looked it up to get the details. Here is what I found out:
"Sheila"is a worshiping word for a beautiful mysterious woman that one of your mates knows on a first name basis, but you have never met. It is also a possessive term used for one's girl, lover, or CSP. I wasn't sure what a CSP was, so I looked it up. Casual Sex Partner. And now I am informed...
It's been a great two years, Sheila.
I'll be borrowing a car from my parents for the next month and a half. I can't believe how close it is to my departure! Still no visa though... I am calling tomorrow to check on whether or not it has been shipped to me yet. I really really want to have that in hand, so I can turn in my notice at work and push forward with my travel arrangements. Roundtrip tickets to Australia right now are running about $750 with taxes included. Not too shabby!
Selling the car takes care of one of my big accomplishments. Now I am down to just the one monster: the house. I am closer to finishing that monster day by day though. Today my brother and I framed in around the bathtub and I put up the rest of the sheetrock in the master bath. Next week, I have someone coming to lay the wood floors in my kitchen. Since the new wood is slightly different than the old wood, I am going to stain it really dark and it's going to look amazing! I am finally getting to a point for the finishing touches on most of the rooms, so I can finally clean out the junk and tools and have a real "home" to come to, although I will be leaving it soon!
