 The colors in this photo are kind of amazing!!! 
An instant mood-boost= a yellow shirt and tying as many things around your wrists as you can.


It took a number of phone calls, A few drives to the other side of Meridian and some prayers to have better perspective on life and not be so selfish.
In the end of it I find myself sitting at a book store sipping a giant sized Van. Chai tea and reading.



This morning I called a place and they made it sound like they could fix my scooter in the course of the day. I drove across town on my super loud scooter only to arrive and hear the guy say "You are looking at a week and a half out".
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?!
Why did you not tell me that on the phone.
I scheduled a time to bring it back in. The soonest opening they had was Sept. 14th.
I then drove back across town back to my temp home and one of the dogs greeted me by throwing up on the floor right in front of me even though he had a perfectly good option of going outside without my help even.

I finally called a scooter shop that sounded confident when I talked to them.
I told them my problem, asked if they can help me. They just said "yep!" and then "Just bring it in and I will look at it.".
I drove back across town and went into this shop and was greeted by a young guy with full sleeve tattoos and a youthful step to his walk.
He looked at it and told me that if I brought it in tomorrow, he could probably have it fixed in a few hours.
He did say that it could either be a pretty easy fix that costs me maybe $60 or it could be super super super expensive and not even be worth fixing.

If it is the more expensive fix then I will just scrap it and just ride a bicycle to work for a little while.


That is my update as of now.
I guess I should have been expecting something to happen soon.
I am just relieved that it might work out.
If they cannot fix my scooter then I think I will put in my two-weeks at work and leave Idaho.
Wow! weird thought.
I have been talking about it for months now but that will be weird when it happens.
If you are reading this and have a few minutes feel free to send me a line and remind me that everything is going to be fine, and to just get over myself.
Thanks friends!

ah, honey.
sometimes there are seasons, of unknown lengths, when life just seems to be jumbled in all sorts of different ways and not all together . . . but He's walking by you in all this, and it's all going to more than okay! it might not be today, but it's going to be...okay.
and you've got people who love you, so there's always that. :D

Well I guess I should probably get over myself and stop being selfish, because part of me is thinking if you do leave Boise- I hope you come here:]
Get over yourself, Jess!
