Quick update:

First the car is once again functional. I showed up at the dealer at 7:40 a.m. and insisted with a smile that I was happy to wait, thank you very much. The service guy gave me the usual "But it's going to take hours to fix this!" spiel to which I smiled even more brightly and replied, "I have a book."

Total time at the dealer - half an hour.

Second the drum solo we've been putting together for months has finally meshed into an actual, danceable piece. We're going to video record it and take a long look to see what still needs tweaking, but for the most part I think we're done.

Third I seem to have gotten into a groove with the cats and while it's still pretty time consuming caring for 4, it's become something of a routine now. I also managed to get a litterbox with a litter shield that attaches to it for Hachi to keep her from throwing litter everywhere...which seems to be one of her hobbies. Now if I can just get her to stop dumping her water every night we'll be making some serious headway. Still, for a feral cat who couldn't be handled just a few weeks ago she's come a long way. She's now attempting to steal my necklace while I'm wearing it and make off with buttons.

Fourth new Criminal Minds tonight and Johnathan Frakes is the guest star, woot!

That's the thing about service departments, they want you to leave your car there so they can get to when it they want to. Doesn't matter if you're inconvenienced or that you'll have to shell out cash for a rental in the meantime. Fortunately I've got the power of patience on my side, which foils them every time :)
