I have been meaning to get an oil change for a couple of weeks now. Last Friday I finally made it to the AAA auto care place because I had an Amazon Local groupon-type thing. While I'm there I tell the woman checking my car in that the check engine light is on, that I'm hoping the oil change and all their inspecting (seriously, the woman spent 10 minutes on the phone with me one night explaining how thorough they are) will fix the problem. She says something along the lines of, "If you have to get your emissions inspection any time soon . . ." and I realize - Crap! My birthday is next week and I need to get an emissions inspection and a new tag. I asked them to do the inspection if the light was off - it has been going off and on lately. But that was a no go, it was on the whole time.
So I took it in today to get them to run the codes and figure out the problem. $536 later, my check engine light is off. gross! and i need to drive it 50 miles to get the emissions inspection not to register that it was recently on. i took tomorrow off for my birthday and I have a feeling that I'm going to spend it dealing with this.
Lately (commonly, often), I am a mess in the following ways: money, weight-loss, and living space. It's crazy how interconnected these things are. If I get one on track, the others usually fall in line. But the reverse is true too: one things falls by the wayside and everything else does too. It's been so long since I've had everything on track for more than a week or two. I know it's my ADHD and I should probably be reading up on better ways to deal with it. I never thought the adderal I took in LA did much for me, but I might have been wrong about that. At the rate I'm going I feel like I am going to be living in my mom and stepfather's basement forever.
