Brakes on the Honda have been squeaking for the past couple of days, so I took it by the car place in front of my neighborhood and had them peek at it. Rotors are scarred and below the minimum thickness for turning, and my CV joints need re-packing. Not unusual, considering the car has 140,000 miles on it. Going to run about $470, which I suppose isn't terribly awful, in the grand scheme of things.
Ordinarily, I love having a single car. Since The Wife's job is between home and my job, we get to ride to work together and spend that extra time together, and also eat lunch together and spend that extra time together. This, though, is one of those occasions when having one car sux0rs. They've said the car ought to be ready this evening, but if not, I'll need to make arrangements to pick it up in the morning and get to work a little late. Blarg.
In other news, I have been eating very well the past couple of days and I'm proud of myself. So far today, I've had one yogurt for breakfast, two chicken soft tacos from Taco Bell for lunch, and another yogurt for a snack. Dinner is lovely-amazing-tender pot rost that The Wife is cooking in the crock pot. Hooray for not eating food that makes me rot from the inside out!

Having two cars can suck too. Occasionally if you are unlucky they both give you crap at the same time. That will present you quite the poser: Should you get them fixed one at a time and drive the one that's the least borked at first, or put them both in at the same time? That is an unattractive set of choices since no cars is a major inconvenience, and as no one picks the inconvenience they instantly start thinking "Hmm... which car is the least borked?" It probably takes more time and effort to try and avoid the inconvenience than letting the trouble run it's course.
I also have to disagree that pot roast and taco bell are foods that don't make you rot from the inside out. Then again, I am not on the top of the food chain to eat broccoli, so long live taco bell!

The chicken soft tacos done "fresco" style are pretty bland--basically chicken and tomatos and lettuice and cilantro in a flour tortilla. As to the pot roast--I consider anything The Wife makes at home to be healthy. That's my story and I am sticking to it :)
