New Vehicle! (Feb.21, 2025)

Kody had to be to work early this morning and Haylee doesn't have a vehicle so Haylee asked if I could come take Freya to school.

I don't know why she was all stickered up.

One of our foreman, Bob, is retiring and today was his last day so we had a lunch for him.

We also got him a cake.

I'm happy for him because he is really looking forward to it but sad for us because we are really going to miss him around the office.

He is such a genuinely nice, kind man.

I had to leave right after the lunch because I'm heading into the city to pick up my new vehicle.

I've been wheeling and dealing over the phone this past week and I've decided to trade in my Nissan Rogue for a Kia Telluride.

Freya is going to come with me so I picked her up early from school.

She's excited to be coming with me for the trip.

We stopped at Haylee's before we left and Eden was just standing in the sun and soaking it up.

Mom came with me as well to the city.

I was so excited but that changed after I got in the room with the financial guy named Edgar.

He was going over everything really fast and then I noticed the amount we had settled on for the trade in was not the amount they had on the paperwork but when I asked him about it he kept evading and giving me different excuses.

I was trying to explain that it was short by a couple thousand but he had this 800 dollar amount and I just felt so frustrated and like I was in the Twilight Zone.

I ended up just signing the papers because Mom and Freya were there and they were closing soon so I just wanted to get out of there but I shouldn't have done that.

In hindsight I wish I hadn't - I really hate dealing with car salesmen and it put a damper on the whole experience which should have been a happy one.

After the paperwork was done, another guy came out and went over all the bells and whistles of the car with me.

It took a long time and he was rushing through also and I'll never remember anything that he said.

I was relived to finally get out of there and I didn't even think to take a picture of myself with the new car because it was just such a crappy experience.

I do love the vehicle though.

It was late when we got back home - Freya ended up spending the night with us.

Jason kept her busy while I went down and hopped on the treadmill because I needed to get more steps in - made it to my 12,000 steps.

I didn't have my phone with me down there though so no pics.

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
