car maintenance
I was driving on borrowed time in getting my brakes done on my car. Thankfully my mother came into a surprise shitload of money. Well, it's a shitload to us, but it's a portion of her pension that she got earlier this week. Due to my fragile employment situation, she gave me money to get my brakes done at Midas across the street. I knew the brakes were bad, but after they called me to give me the lowdown on what they needed to do, the total came up to $711. I need brake pads, rotor, tire rod, two new front tires and a wheel alignment. I called my mother to borrow another $300, and I gave him the ok to do the job.
I really feel relieved that this is getting done as I was driving my car like this for far too long and I've heard front end noises that are not cool to listen to. Now I can drive to Detroit this weekend to see the people - I haven't seen them since Christmas Day.
I worked two 12-hour shifts in the past two days, I'm tired. Macy's is coming along fine. If anything, it's tiring walking around so much, but I'm just glad to be working. I don't think that media analyst job is going to pan out for me, and I'm not too disappointed about it. I'm at a stage in my life where I just believe in if it's meant to be, it will be. You can't force things. You can show perserverance and initiative, but if it's a one way street, then that's the way it is.
So I have today off, waiting for my car to get operated on. After I pick it up, I'll go to the gym.
