It appears that my car, Freyja, will soon be history. Last night on my way home, the temp gauge shot up and the coolant essentially evaporated. I filled the reservoir, and limped the car home, but this morning, it was all gone again. There's no puddle, no smell of coolant, no obvious leakage -- just no coolant where there SHOULD be. It seems likely that Freyja has blown a head gasket...and with a car of this age, while not unexpected, it's something that usually means the end is nigh.
So I'll be looking for a new to me car in the near future. My boss is generously allowing me to use one of the vans to get to and from work for a little while.
While running out the door this morning, I also managed to lose a 16g flash drive that had a lot of personal documents on it. I don't think that anything on it was irreplaceable, but it had stuff that I REALLY wanted all in one place. Well it IS all in one place, just not with me.
I also thoughts that one of my favorite earrings was done for. The amber disk disappeared out of its setting and I couldn't find it after retracing some of my steps. However, while cleaning up for the day, I found the amber totally undamaged. I can fix it, I have the technology.
None of this is tragic, just damned irritating and extremely inconvenient.
