How I came to putting my car up for sale was more of a thought to help minimise costs due to me not working and trying to lighten the financial load for Troy. The way I figured was I only use my car to do the groceries and I can just do them online and anything else is pretty much in walking distance, so keeping in with my quest to lose a couple of kilos I thought the forcing myself to walk to places I might just zip in the car to would help me too. However, the week it sold many mixed emotions came up, such as "Wow, I feel like I'm losing my independance a bit." I had had a car since I was 18 and I bought this car brand new and was on some levels quite attached to it. I was also thinking as much as I'm a positive person, that it felt like a massive step back. It took me about 2 days to shake the feeling.
The only thing that has been restricting me is the weather. The weather on the Sunny Coast has been pretty rubbish and a bit hard for me to get around, but today was beautiful. This afternoon I timed taking off around the time Hudson was due for a sleep and set out on my way to run some errands. Checked the distance I did on Google Earth, 5kms. Then I stopped off at the park on the way home and gave Hudson a push on the swing....one of his favourite activities. Feeling great about selling the car today.
