I did my first ever oil change! It wasnt that hard, actually it was pretty fun. Tomorrow I'm going to take the tires off and change the air filter, for fun :) I know it's basic stuff and I have a lot to learn, but 5 years ago if you would have asked me to change my own oil, I would have laughed at you :) I imagine I'm one of the few women in the world who has changed her own oil (I could be wrong?), and that makes me proud.

Although there's nothing really to be proud of, it's really a simple job. The hardest part is finding effing level ground around here to be able to jack the car up.

Anyway, I figured an estimate to fix the things needed on my car to last a road trip. Sigh. But at least it's cheaper than paying someone else to do it. On the other hand, I have to pay someone to balance the new tires, as it's not in my "Auto Repair for Dummies" book :)

So... yeah. I make just enough to pay my bills and get by, with the occasional Blockbuster rental. How am I going to come up with the $ to fix my car? I'm applying for a 2nd job at a million different places, but so far no luck.

I've been up since 2am... I'm so tired.
