the unstoppable force of my velvet-smooth but adamantine certainty

having no money when there are so many others in need is a real bitch.

the least I can do is pass on some information that will help. the story of Jaycee Lee Dugard has been fascinating me, and I can only imagine the pain and suffering they're all enduring right now. So I wanted to at least let people know there's a fundraising effort for them.

Soroptomist International of South Lake Tahoe has established a bank account to help Jaycee Dugard’s family get back on their feet. This Sunday, they'll be holding a pink ribbon parade at South Lake Tahoe to help raise money for the threesome.

In April, my Service Engine Soon light came on. I had it cleared & they told me what it said. I was broke & waited to take it in fir fixing, and the light went off & has stayed off. Thank God.

A while ago, I noticed the light in my dash behind the dial of the ventillation system where I say if I want it to go to defrost, my feet, my head - that light is out. I had one of the others replaced a while ago & the dealer did it free - covered by warranty somehow. I think the warranty's up, & I can't afford to fix it, so I haven't seen anyone about it.

Tonight, I lost the light that illuminates my gear shift. It's an automatic and now, in the dark, I can't tell what gear I'm in. First leg of my trip, it started off, then as I was going 'wtf?' it came on. Stopped to let someone out (thereby going from D to P), and it went out again & wouldn't come back on. I'm going to have to see someone about this - it was quite difficult not knowing if I was in 1st, 2nd or D without driving off and figuring it out contextually, or shining a light on it.

I also need to go see a doc about my migraines.

I need to refigure how many hours I can work @ a PT job. In order to bring home as much as I do on unemployment I need to make $13.50 an hour. Buy I can supplement unemployment with PT job income until I get a FT job. Or I need to start dating a mechanic. Who's ... also a neurologist. ;)

Grrr. I hear frakking mice in my kitchen. Landlord can't get here soon enough for me!
