I called yesterday to see how the car was coming. The shop manager spoke to me and then sent me pictures of the car. It seems that taking off the paint has uncovered some body issues. He highlighted the damage in the pictures and also invited me to come by and see it. So. It's going to cost more. I need to call him back today to give the OK and find out how much more. I have decided I would rather fix it right than paint over problems, and I'm not going to let myself get upset about it.
The worst news is that it will probably take till NEXT FRIDAY! That means riding the train/bus again on Wednesday.
Thank goodness my BFF is coming tomorrow and she can take me to the grocery store. My refrigerator has never been so empty.
Only spending yesterday was a load of laundry, and I'll do another today, for a total of $3. My medical premium was also automatically paid. Variables spending is at 10%.
Today I'm going to mop the floors and do some straightening up for my company. I also need to pull out that laptop and do some work.
I've started a bag for Goodwill donations, and I'm keeping a running list on a spreadsheet of everything I put in it, along with the estimated value. I've never bothered much with keeping track of donations, because I rarely itemize, but this year is going to be different. I'm going to be looking for every tax break I can find.
Today's Menu:
Breakfast: Biscuits & gravy
Lunch: Quesadillas w/cheese & peppers
Dinner: Vegetable beef soup
No Car

Henry James is challenging to read, but rewarding when you put in the effort. I did not see The Golden Bowl on PBS. Maybe I'll try to find it at the library.
