So here we are. It has been such a difficult decision-making time. But I got through it and most of it is taken care of. I rented the Honda Civic hybrid for a week, really loved it, and went to look at them. They didn’t have any used ones (at the local dealer, at least), so I was looking at a 2026. I couldn’t really decide because, even though I loved the way it drove, it was low to the ground and it had a trunk, not a cargo area. The Honda Civic Hybrid hatchback was considerably more for some reason.

So I decide to go down to Roseville to the Hyundai dealer. I knew I didn’t want the Santa Fe, too big and too expensive these days. My Santa Fe is a nice size and it was a limited so had lots of extras. Anyway, I drove the Tucson Hybrid and knew that this was the car. But my daughter wasn’t with me so we had to backtrack some and go over details and have her check it out. We ended up making an appointment and got the car on Monday. It has been a very stressful time.

On Tuesday I returned the Honda. I really really did like it but getting in and out with it being low was, I know going to be a challenge).

Anyway, next, I had signed up to have the Santa Fe taken by a company called Peddle. They were going to pay me a small amount and then take the car. Well, they did not show up when scheduled, so now I’m not sure what I’ll do. They said the tow company will get in touch but so far they haven’t. So another decision to make, but very frustrating they didn’t show up as scheduled.

I called and got the insurance updated with my daughter on the insurance for the Tucson. It raised my premium so that was another added expense. sigh:(

I drove down to the pool yesterday and the car got 55 MPG so I’m really thrilled by that. Today, I’m down getting infusion so another drive there. After that I need to go down to the library and drop off my books. I don’t think I’ll do the gym as I’ll just have had my shot. although I could do the treadmill but I’ll just wait and see how I feel.

All in all, things have moved forward and I’m good with it.

So that’s the latest, and hopefully I can figure out the Santa Fe by next week. I guess my next step would be donating it to Cap radio, our local NPR station. But I’ll wait to see if I get contacted by Peddle in the next couple of days.

Our weather has been beautiful but now the rain is coming in on Friday and keeps going off and on for a number of days.
