Car Update

As of this morning, I have not heard anything back from the body shop about the estimate/time frame on the repair. I'll give it until after noon then I'll call them for an update. I also went ahead and booked a rental car to start tomorrow and go through March 5th (for now). I can apparently extend/shortage that as need be. Hopefully I don't need it longer than that because the damn thing is going to cost me a little over $200 a week. I don't have that sort of extra cash floating around all willy nilly shouting, "Spend me! Spend me!"

Currently the insurance deductible is going to eat up (and then some) the $400 refund I got from KY for 2009 taxes. I have another $1500 they owe me for last year, but it's not here yet. Since it's for a previous year, it could take a while. This means that I'll just be hitting up the poor credit card for the rental fees and then paying those off after the refund comes in. It really sucks. I wanted to use the refund money for a PS3 and for a vacation somewhere. There were also a few concerts I was interested in. Guess I'll just suck it up and wait for the outcome. I'll put those things on hold. God, I hate putting everything on hold. Sometimes it seems like my whole entire life is on hold just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Today I'll get little chores done. Dishes, laundry, go to the store for light odds and ends. I'm sure I could get Mom to take me to the store but, really, not interested in that. And I don't feel like calling other friends and putting them out.

I think I'll do a Buddha Box card later, too. I could use a little uplifting. Hopefully I'll have a good card for today.
