Do You Want the Good News or the Bad News First?

The bad news is that I have my cheerios at my new apartment and so I couldn't have my real breakfast this morning. The good news is that Emily hadn't moved the oatmeal up north yet.

The bad news is that the apartment complex water is shut off for the day. The good news is that I don't stink today.

The good news is that the mechanics finished putting my car together yesterday. The bad news is that they found out that there was damage to two of the valves.

The bad news is that a new head costs $1200. The good news is that they found a used one for $150, and they can take it to a machine shop and grind it down or something so that the surfaces will be nice and smooth.

The really bad news is that the extra repairs will cost an extra $800. The less bad news is that I would still owe them the $1200 for all the repairs that they did do on the vehicle and so I won't have lost $1200. The less bad news is that the mechanics lowered the estimate on how long the car may last from 40-50K to 20-40K. The good news is that I don't have to go looking for a new/used car. The really good news is that I bought a scooter and that will help extend the life of the car.

The bad news for Connor and Duncan is that their flight has been delayed out of Asheville, so they'll probably miss their connection in Atlanta. The good news for me is that this gives me some more time to mess with stuff here at the apartment.

The bad news is that I can't seem to be able to raise the movers to reschedule the move from Thursday until Friday. The good (?) news is that there are supposed to be bad thunderstorms in town tomorrow, so I'm hoping they will be motivated to reschedule, too.
