My son't car broke down yesterday. And since he was quite a way from home it still cost us some money. Insurance covered the first $50 but we still had to pay $70. Bummer. At least I had it to pay for it.

I went and picked my sister up in Atlanta and brought her back for the holidays. I just took her home today. She snuck $60 into my purse when I wasn't looking. That will go toward the shortage that I am looking at for the 14th.

All my books sold. Two sold almost immediately and one sold on half.com yesterday. That is $94 toward my shortage. If it weren't for the tow, I would be very close to the shortage. I am getting real close to having it covered. Feeling pretty good about that right now. Then when I get my financial aid, I won't have to use it to get caught up on anything. it will just give me some breathing room.
