progress

well, a quiet few days. Claire was off for three in a row after a brutal night on call Monday. But Owen's sleep got a little better, and even though that change was marginal, I felt better about basically everything. I ordered $230 in parts from Honda. I could have saved about 40, and gotten my recylcing cred had I gone to a junkyard, but I was confused about some of the labeling of parts, so I managed to replace two of the four tail light lens assemblies. Claire said its an amazing transition, "it doesn't look like a junker" I had no idea she had such a low opinion of the car before that. Anyway, now I've got the bug, I'm ordering a set of touch up paint and clearcoat to take out the rusty scratch. Fixing the tail lights took a half hour and saved a ton of money, and even though there is "so little time" it made my day. now back to work.
