This is National Nurse's Week. So if you have a doctor's appointment this week, make sure you thank your nurse. Dave said the nurses were a tad disgruntled yesterday because all the hospital gave them was 1 helium balloon for all of them to share. He took his nurses breakfast this morning. The two Mexican nurses he works with on Tuesdays love these particular breakfast burritos from a small town Dave passes on his way to work, so he picked those up. He's so thoughtful.
As of today, we're putting the van search on hold. Even though we got an amazing quote for a new Odyssey (practically the same price for a used one but with much lower interest - the dealers are hard up right now), I just don't want to have such a high car payment. We drive the van so little and wonder how many more miles we can get out of our Montana, even with its transmission problems. Dave called the mechanic this morning and he agreed he would just drive it 'till it dies, since we would get so little for it the way it is anyway. Now we can work on actively saving for the next van so we can get a much lower payment when we do bite the bullet and buy one. Yesterday I spent all afternoon scrubbing our van inside and out in preparation for trading it in today. It looks so nice now I don't want to get rid of it.

Jason has often commented on how when we clean things to sell them/move out of them, they're suddenly so nice we want to keep it after all.
