While Roommate
was at his doctors appointment this morning I did my grocery
shopping. I got the stuff for a Tuna Casserole, a Keto Clam Chowder,
some steaks, Fish Oil, some Cod, and some chicken. I added up the
things I bought as I was shopping, but again the total was more than
I added up as I was shopping. I'm trying to keep the weekly grocery
bill to around $150, but again today I over spent. As I was shopping
it added up to $143, but the total was $164. Not much over, but is
that going to happen every week?
I printed off the
hand plates for the Master Chief cosplay. They're only two little
hand plates, but it still took an hour and forty five minutes to
print. But still a lot faster and easier than pepakura.
Something that is
really concerning me is that I had forgotten an ingredient for the
clam chowder. (A bit annoying that I'm spending more on groceries
after already going over budget) So I went back to the store. And the
engine light came on in my car. I looked at the different screens in
the center console (if that's what it's called) and everything looked
alright, it didn't say what the error was. But as I looked over it
again the Oil Pressure read as “99” and I'm getting the feeling
that the only reason that it showed as 99 is that's the limit that
the screen reads.
This is really
kind of scaring me. I am a couple of months behind on my oil changes.
I've been telling myself that “next week I'll probably have
everything paid off and saved up to go ahead and do the oil change.”
And there is supposed to be an indication to tell me that it is due
for an oil change, but the notification hasn't came up yet so I
thought I was still in the good. But now the oil pressure is spiked in the
car and it's making the check engine light come on.
I'm scared of
this because my last car was destroyed because I went about two years
without doing the oil changes. And I used an inheritance from Dad to
buy a new car. And now I didn't do an oil change and the check engine
light is on. I looked it up and high oil pressure can be caused by a
clogged oil filter and high viscosity in the oil. Which are both
things that I would think that I'm pretty sure an oil change would
solve. I know very little about how cars work. But there are still
all of the paranoid thoughts.
I'm going to wake
up early tomorrow and take it to the dealership to do an oil change.
I usually take it to a local shop, but they seem to require an
appointment and it's kind of an emergency. The first thought would be
to wake up early and take it to Walmart for the oil change. But I
don't know how well their mechanics are trained for the things that
the paranoid thoughts are telling me that it could be.
Roommate
suggested taking it to O'Reilly's or AutoZone
to get them to check to see what the engine light could be. And AutoZone is, more or less, on the way to the dealer to have them service it. I just remember taking the old car to O'Reily's and they said that it was a bad spark plug. However the mechanic at the shop said it was the entire engine. And refused to touch it.
The thing that hurts, along with the idea that I might have scrapped the car that I bought with the money my father left me after he passed. Is that I was feeling up. I was feeling like I was making progress. I was getting somewhere in my life, and now if the car is toast. I don't know if I'm still that way. I just don't see a way that I could afford a new car. Definitely not another Chrysler 300.
On a (God Willing) unrelated note I'm going to change my savings strategy. The previous strategy was to round my checking account down to the 10's and each night I would transfer into the three savings accounts. For example if I came home and I had $87.53 in my checking account I'd transfer the 53 cents into General Savings, the $2 into Project Savings, and $5 into Bill Savings. Trying to get the Project Savings and Bill Savings up to pay the Monthly Bills and try to save money to spend on major projects. But I would never end up saving much money in any of the accounts. So the new strategy is that each night I'm just going to transfer into Bill Savings. And If I have enough money in Bill Savings to pay the bills for the next month I'll Transfer into Project Savings. I'm wanting to keep $1,000 in Project savings. So if Bill Savings has enough money to pay for the month, and I have a grand in Project savings, I'll transfer into General Savings. I think I'll have more luck building one account at a time.
