I called to find out about my car yesterday and they told me that it had been out of oil. I apparently ran it out of oil. I knew it was well past an oil change but I thought there was a light on the dash that would tell me if the oil was low. Guess not. He said they put some oil in it and are hoping that I didn't do any permanent damage to it. Should know something this afternoon.
Add benefit of not having a car is not having to buy gas. My parents insist on putting gas in their car and since I am driving it, I don't have to buy any gas. I will probably try to give my parents some money toward gas, but they won't take it.
Speaking of parents, mine have been truly wonderful. They have let me borrow their car leaving them at home without one. They have worked with my schedule to make sure that DD makes it to her cheer and I make it to work. They are going to help with the repairs to my car. I am truly lucky to have the parents that I do. My mom told me this morning that they were so proud of the way I am handling things...meaning my attitude. I am not giving up or upset. I have come to a point where what happens happens and I am not going to stress over it. There are people with much worse things going on.
I redid my taxes last night and now it looks like I am getting a refund. I received my second mortgage interest statement. Since I renewed the loan last year, I have two statements. That made a huge difference in my return.
