soc_puppetI was about fifteen minutes into my commute to work today when the Check Engine light came on in my car.
I had already been planning to call my mechanic on Monday about some drainage issues (for some reason, when it rains, the passenger side floor gets wet? And while the long-term issues are worrying, I'm currently more worried about the possibility of mold growing under the carpets), but now I'll be bringing my car in then, and plan to talk about "end of life plans" for it.
I have spent $3500 on my car in the past twelve months. That's 70% of what I paid for it. And yeah, okay, about 1k of that was for tires, but I still want to have a frank conversation with my mechanics about whether it's worth it to keep pouring money into my car, and what my other options might be.
Edit: *facepalm* And my mammogram is scheduled for Monday morning, perfect! I thought it was for the Monday after that one, but no, I misremembered. At least I figured it out before the actual appointment. Next up, I just need to make sure I have transportation sorted...
