Aren't you sorry you asked?
I'm just glad it didn't happen to me.
I run a similar scenario through my head daily. It's why I don't want to go anywhere. I'm afraid of some sort of major disaster with the car--either car.
Of course, staying home is no guarantee I won't obsess about calamities. I just worry about the hot water tank going out, the roof blowing away, the washer quitting in the middle of a cycle--you name it, I'll worry about it.
Assisted living is getting more and more attractive.

I usually end up with twice as many as I need because I like classes and seminars.
Which we haven't had since this pandemic.
So... there's a conference. If I choose to do this, I'll fly into D.C. and drive to Virginia to stay at a hotel and attend this conference.
I needed to get away after the fire, so I ended up going to that seminar in Santa Fe. But Santa Fe is familiar. It's not on the opposite side of the country. I didn't have to fly there.
I've attended training in California, but that was familiar, too. I lived there for 25 years.
So I'm toying with this idea because
1. I need to get the ___ outta here and
2. I need to do something that makes me uncomfortable.
Between the talking bushes and the tire debacle, you do need a vacation. But I'm not sure a seminar qualifies as a "vacation".
Expenses paid?

It would be a lot more expensive than the Santa Fe training, that's for sure. I haven't been on a plane in over 20 years. I have a feeling it would be just like work.

Same here.
Failure is manufactured into everything we own. It's just a matter of time before something will break or stop working.
