Well it’s one week since I watched Julie and Julia and decided I can do a blog and then built one this. Is it what I thought it would be? Probably, have I expanded what it was initially for - Yes.. You can subscribe and get notifications of when I create a new blog, you can leave comments.. this was really just meant to be a medium for me to brain dump I suppose. I decided to also add a section to upload my poems I’ve written.
Today I did something different, I went to a car club meeting - I’m fortunate enough to have 2 cars, a Soul Red MX5 and a Tesla Model Y - I’ve been a member of the Shropshire MX5 group for a while and never really took part, so 8am was up showered and dressed & headed to Wrexham to have a look at other MX5s to see if I can get some ideas of modifications to make to the car - I have said for ages that I wanted to change the exhaust system to make it a little throaty.
You come home and have a look at costings and go yeah the car’s fine as it is.
Whilst we were there, you can see that some people have spent thousands of pounds on their cars and I mean thousands of pounds. Why? It’s a car - usually when my car needs tyres I tend to change it. The Tesla and the MX5 are the longest cars I’ve owned at just over 2 years. Is the want/desire to spend money on them just an itch to satisfy the desire to change a car.. do I even want to change it?
Going off on a tangent about spending money, I was talking to my GP a while ago who suggested I look at getting private therapy. I said to her that I wouldn’t do that, why would I spend money on a service that someone else would benefit and feel like I’m taking a service away from one. I know I suffer with lack of self worth, I think I always will.. but is this why I don’t want to spend money on “upgrades” to the MX5, or is it really I don’t want to spend because I don’t agree that it should cost some of these parts.
Well, tomorrow is a new day - I’m sure I’ll be procrastinating about it and will probably go back to the idea of having a campervan!
