Terrible Robot posted:do it, holy poo poo do it immediately. I don't have the cash at the moment. I've had a number of wear items things fixed on the Peugeot, in addition to rust-proofing and various other maintenance. So I've got a fair bit of money sunk into it that I would basically be throwing away, and I know my car is in as near-perfect a condition as any 13-year-old car can be, barring a couple of minor cosmetic things. Still, it's super tempting.

I let Dad drive the 928 on the way back from 5 Guys, may have been a mistake. Got a verbal warning for 140mph in a 45 zone. Cop wasn't even angry. We managed to get the engine and everything out of the parts E21 (see snapchat) but now we have no idea how we're going ot get it from there to the shed and get the body out of the back yard. I'll either sawzall into manageable size pieces or bribe the guys from work to come over and help me move it. I may be keeping the 928 because it's too drat fun and I can't drive it without smiling like an idiot and driving like an rear end

Note to self: Do not go take a nap in your car during your lunch break. I don't care how many alarms you set on your watch and phone, you will not wake up when you want to wake up. The only thing that woke me up was the cold - I didn't have a blanket, just a hoodie and pillow, and it was in the low 50s. I'm loving amazed the battery handled it - I left the key in accessory to keep the radio on the full time, intending to only take a 45 minute nap (not 2 1/2 hours). Nothing like walking in an hour and a half late from an hour lunch and having to explain to your boss what happened. He was irritated, but said "we had a small truck tonight, I always see you busting your rear end, and you're the only overnight guy who bothers to actually help customers, so as far as I'm concerned, it never happened." Also took a nap behind Pizza Hut before work. In the past 48 hours I've had a total of 3 hours of sleep. My old GM asked me to come in tonight (yesterday) and I explained the lack of sleep situation, but said I would if I got caught up. He said "I don't want you driving if you're tired. Stay home, I'll borrow someone from another store. I could use your help tomorrow though." Still can't loving sleep, and I've been awake for about 49 hours.  Had a psychiatrist appointment yesterday - my primary doctor doesn't really like handling anxiety (beyond low dose SSRI) or addiction management medications beyond writing the initial 30 day script if you ask for a specific non-narcotic medication by name (he did keep me on a low dose of Celexa for a bit), so he got me a referral. Went well, though that's gotta be the first time I've had a doctor younger than me (and holy poo poo, she's hot too). She's taking over management of my Celexa (increasing the dosage for now) and Naltrexone, and worked out a plan to wean me off of the Librium. Next visit we're going to discuss sleep options. She was happy that I brought my blood work from the hospital too. Why pay for another round of blood work when I just had some 2 weeks ago, and have another round in 9 days? I need to call my insurance carrier and make sure we did everything right though. I needed a written referral (emphasis from BCBS) to see a specialist. I have an email from one of the employees that works for my PCP referring me to a specific doctor; I wound up seeing a different doctor in the same practice, though she's also in-network for me. e2: I just got off the phone with my insurance carrier. Not only do I need the referral in writing, my primary care doctor needs to note how many visits he's authorizing. As the shrink is taking over 3 of my meds, and has already changed dosages on one of them (and will be tapering me off of the Librium over the next month), I'm going to be seeing them at least every couple of months. Likely more than my PCP, actually. Her jaw dropped when she saw how much Librium I'd been rX'd, and actually went around the rest of the clinic asking if anyone had anyone ever seen a script written for that dosage, with that many refills. So it's gonna take a bit to get me off of it completely. I had actually taken the bottle of Librium with me to show I hadn't been taking anywhere close to the prescribed dose - it was filled on the 27th, 15 day script, 9 pills a day prescribed. There were 40 left in the bottle (and that's after giving a few to a coworker who was having a few lovely days in a row). She thinks she can have me off of it in about a month, but said it was one of the highest dosages she's ever seen prescribed (150mg/day) and that the doctor at the hospital was "loving nuts" for (a) giving me 3 refills of 90 each (on top of the original 90 - the original bottle is in my room somewhere, and still has at least 15-20 pills in it) and (b) not giving some kind of tapering plan. We had discussed my drug history, and her reaction to seeing bottle of 40 pills when it should have had 15 pills left was basically "this alone shows me that you've managed to walk away from drugs - you said your favorites were benzos, and you seem to know your drugs, so I'm sure you know this is a benzo".

Five Guys has been expanding here like mad but honestly it doesn't taste much different than Wendy's to me. Give me In-N-Out if I'm in a rush or Smashburger if not. The Arizona Smash with guacamole, fresh jalapeño, and pepper jack cheese is hamburger heaven to me.
