Cars suck. The end.
So the original quote on my car was $600, which got me freaking out. Car was done today, and the grand total is... $808.46. Mama is covering $250 of it, and my credit card is once again maxed out. I've been paying it off for nearly a year, and now it's back to where it started. Oh how I hate my finances. And all this just to pass emissions...
Too bad this couldn't wait til the fall when my loan comes through. I guess all my paychecks are going to my credit card for the next few months. No more Guess/Express shopping sprees for this girl. Thank God for 3 jobs, which means 3 paychecks. And graduation on the horizon. I seriously cannot wait to have a steady paycheck.
I was in pretty bad spirits about the car thing until I was comforted by my favorite ice cream, mint chocolate chip, and a Costco run with the guys. I love the guys. There aren't that many people in the world who I'm completely comfortable around, and who can make me feel better without even knowing that something's wrong. Plus I got to ride on the shopping cart. How many of you can say you've done that recently?
Chris and I tackled the basement this evening - one of the walls is a bizarre green and white design that will probably look pretty awesome while tripping. I'm excited to see how it will all turn out, eventually. We're taking it slowly down there, especially until we identify the source of flooding.
Since Edelweiss has been in the shop since Friday, I wasn't able to do my route on Tuesday, which means - I get to do Tuesday's and Thursday's route tomorrow morning. That's a total of 7 clients. My normal is 3-4. I'm gonna die. And before I can even get to the grocery store, I have to find a way to get to the shop to pick up my car. Gotta love the bus system.
So I'm getting a bit depressed about (the stupidest thing ever) my belly button lacking any jewelry. I was half-tempted to repierce it myself last night, but thankfully thought the better of it. I just gotta suffer with a jewel-free tummy until I can save up to get pierced again. And I gotta find some nickle-free gold jewelry to put in so I don't get another allergic reaction like last time. Halo calls me... they're expensive, but they've got the real jewelry. The piercer isn't nearly as hot as at 444, but he's not bad either. Not that it matters, I'm still beyond broke.
I swear, if 2 of my jobs didn't depend on Edelweiss, I'd totally give up my car. But I love coaching at Cholla, and $800 to keep my car running so I can get there is really worth it. I guess. At least I'll tell myself that while I'm writing out the check tomorrow morning.
I realized last night that for the past few days I've had the mindset of a single girl. Scouting out guys, getting my flirt on, etc... I'm afraid to think what this means, but we all know the answer. I just don't get it - I hated being single, but now that I'm not, it's not feeling right either.
I feel better now that I've gotten all that off my chest. Thank you LJ for letting me unload.
