i also got some grocery shopping done and our fridge is stocked with all kinds of healthy goodies. i literally did avoid the inner aisles of the store and bought only produce, deli, meat, dairy, and frozen foods. i did make one detour into the inner aisles for some nail polish. but hopefully that doesn't contribute to weight gain :)
i spent the morning relaxing, which i haven't done in forever. i actually read a magazine, took a nap, and made lunch. without feeling harried or stressed.
until i got a call from the vw dealership about the status of my car. my check engine light has been on for some time now. last week, i got the code for the error, had the light cleared and tried to get my car smogged before my registration is due in dec. and i failed! apparently, when they clear the light, they clear the memory on the computer which results in an automatic fail, despite my emissions being perfect.
oh and did i tell you last week my car also died and i had to get a new battery? fun.
so to fix my check engine light issues, i have to fork over upwards of $400, then get the damned thing smogged so i can pay my registration before it expires. gah!
AND he tells me i need to replace the rotors on my brakes for both the front and back. and that will cost about $800! and should get done asap.
the good news is we do have the money to pay for all of this, and our wedding, and everything that goes with it. but just barely. i had to run the numbers again, jiggle our xmas budget a little, but we'll make it by the skin of our teeth. while i'm grateful that the numbers add up, i suffer great discomfort being so close to the edge.
i keep telling myself that i need to relax. that worrying solves nothing. so i came on to blog about it. maybe i also need to take another walk!
