Well....I went for an estimate for the muffler on my car and ended up leaving without it and other repairs. I did find out it would be about $260. Of course I waited until the last minute to get the car looked at because George was going to look at it etc....so now to get it to pass inspection it will cost us another $700 or so..... am so done with vehicles. Christmas is coming...I have bills and the layaway needs to come off. I am so stressed. I am so looking forward to Jan.

OMG.....This morning I get woken up to my hubby telling my daughter she has to cancel her driving test today (she has been waiting forever to do it). Well he finally realized that if he takes any time off today he will not get the holiday pay for Thanksgiving and Friday. I think the same think might happen to me but it will be less $ I am losing unless I can convince the Superintendent to let me leave a 1/4 day early today and take her myself. I am going in a few minutes early to check. But...now I am stressing because my car is un-registered as of yesterday and I can't get it done until Tue. Then I cant get the other stuff fixed until later this week. Talk about stress. Why couldn't we have done this weeks ago? I told my daughter I might have to reschedule the appt. but I hate to do that. I am taking a huge risk driving without the registration etc. My sister does it all the time but....I m not her.

Sierra got her license today and I was able to leave early without losing anything except a 1/4 day pay ( I asked for it to be paid so we will see). I will get my car registered tomorrow so at least that will be legal but not inspected. I will work on getting it 100% legal by the weekend.

I am happy for her but the insurance will kill us.

The car is fixed except 1 issue. I am hoping to take it to another place and explain my situation (Sierra's friends dad's shop). I just don't have anymore $ to work on it before xmas. I want t to be done so I don't have to constantly go and drive Sierra to and from work. It is aligned, the muffler is on etc. I hope they pass it.

No sticker. I totally respect the guy and understand why he could not put a sticker on it. George is going to take some $ from his 401K again so we can get it fixed. Thank god as now I just have to drive and pray I don't get a ticket. I hope the $ comes quick. He will put the parts in WE bring him and only charge us $75. Because he loves Sierra.

Well we can't borrow again from the 401K so....we will just have to wait for the next bill cycle and see what we can do. Trying to not think about it as it was consuming me.
