I've been MIA again. Sorry about that. Trying to make ends meet.Lots of running around. I started painting the little cabinet that sits under this window frame in the living room. I hope to put the final coat of paint on it today. But life keeps getting in the way of me finishing.Mom's little truck got hit and totaled.Luckily she was not hurt. But it took forever to get the man's insurance to take care of it.Then we spent days truck and SUV shopping. She had a little 2004 Toyota Tacomaand that is what she planned on buying again but now they are big!So we shopped all over trying to find something she liked.In the end she bought a new Tacoma. I went with her on most of these shopping trips cause she needs new hearing aids and cannot hear things right. When she goes alone she hears things all wrongand things get all kinds of messed up.The final day she decided on the truck, she went back alone thinking she had it allin mind as to how it was going to go.Four days later she confessed that she was upset cause they'd signed her up for a $4,800 warranty shedidn't understand was going to cost that. This time I went back with her. Immediately they said they'd increase the warranty from 5 years to 8 years and bring the cost down to $2,800.Hmmmm...if they could afford to do that - why did they charge so much in the first place"In the end after repeatedly saying no...she walked out happy with just the warranty the truck comes with.  3 years...
