  Too many shadows in my room
  Too many hours in this midnight
  Too many corners in my mind
  So much to do to set my heart aright
  Oh, it's taking so long
  I could be wrong--I could be ready
  Oh, but if I take my heart's advice
  I should assume it's still unsteady

  I am in repair
  I'm not together
  But I'm getting there
  I am in repair

  John Mayer has given me my life motto: "I am in repair."

  I want to introduce you to my one-week fling.  You know how it is when you've been with someone for so long, and they get sick or break down and you're feeling healthy and going strong?  Who's to blame you if you find companionship elsewhere?  That was me last week.  My long-term relationship had a cam sensor go bad, so I found a temporary replacement and left my silver at home to rest.

  

  Those of you who know me won't be surprised to learn that I went with an older model, but you might be surprised to know it had a manual transmission.  I liked it.  More hands, more movement, more action.  I always like that.  It was a big confidence-builder, and I learned a lot.  That's why I like older models, and this one even had more energy than my own; it could get it up better and longer on those long, dark hills. 

  

  Alas, all flings must end sometime.  A friend's boyfriend came over last Saturday and did the surgery on my silver, leaving me with no more reason for the blue.  And you know what?  I was glad to have my own back.  Maybe he's a little less exciting, a little more sluggish, and a little less flashy, but he's mine.  I know him.  We've got a long road ahead of us.  AND he has a radio.
