Try CarMax to buy your car as online they will give you a quote and you can accept it or not. My son sold a crappy car there for decent money during the pandemic.

Oh, man, laundromats are so busy on the weekends and noisy where I live. I started going on Tuesday and Friday mornings as soon as it opened. But I was not working. Glad you are checking things off your life and talking to therapist more and finding less stress in your life.

You feel less stress because you worked at checking things off your to do list. And continuing to seek help from a professional. Your moving in the right direction. Have you thought about tutoring during the summer?

Good morning hasty and Jazzy! My oldest friend's daughter reached out to me about my car but when I told her that I wanted $3,000, she just didn't respond. I am going to write to her to see if she would go for $2,500. It is parked at a different brother's house now but he's not real happy about it. I will look into CarMax! Thanks hasty! Jazzy, I am not a teacher. I'm a hall monitor but I wanted to be a teacher's aide for summer school. I emailed the woman who handles the summer school hirings yesterday but she didn't respond yet. It's not good for me to have too much time on my hands. I get energy from people. Being here by myself does not promote energy most of the time. My Christmas tree is still up. My ornaments are delicate and so I really have to be in the mood and that hasn't been the case. Thanks again girls!

I hope you get that teachers aid job and someone buys your car, especially if you need the money. I can't get over how expensive life became over the last few years. Like, I can't eat out at all anymore, because I can't afford it. I miss the days of the dollar menu and $5 foot long subs.

I have a doozy of a car story myself. I bought an RV at the height of the market during the pandemic with the intention of living in it. The pandemic forced me to leave Hawaii and I had nowhere to live, and I thought RV life was the solution. But then it went into the shop for water damage, and it took me 3 yrs and a lawsuit to get it back. By then, my husband and I had bought a house and no longer needed the RV. We put it on the market for $10k less than what I had paid for it, but it wouldn't sell. I ended up dumping over $20k into repairs (that included the water damage) just to get it "move in ready". But still it wouldn't sell till we cut the price nearly in half to $27k. I will never buy another RV. What a huge mistake.

I agree with Jazzy. Checking off your to-do list relieves a lot of stress.

Hey everybody! It's Sunday around dinnertime. I've been checking more stuff off of my list! I sold my car for $2,700 to a nice girl who needed a car and didn't fuss about the price. I just have to take it off of my insurance tomorrow and return the tags to DMV. I can actually try to do that on my way to work or on the way home. Today I filed for assistance with the State for the third time. Yesterday, my computer really acted up, was making weird noises and wouldn't let me type. So, on kind of an emergency basis, I bought a computer yesterday on Marketplace. But last night and today, it is working. So I was able to scan the documents that I needed and filed online. Going in person can mean standing in line for 2 hours and getting turned away when they close. I filed last May 10th so today was the perfect day to re-certify. Tomorrow, I have to go to the laundromat after work. I'm too tired to go tonight when there would be less of a crowd. I took the ornaments and beads off of my tree. I need to get it in the sun room. I had an appointment with my therapist on Friday but she had to cancel. That was fine. I haven't been in my head as much as I had been. I wrote to a HR person in the township where I live to see if the BOE needs any part-time employees for the summer. I still haven't heard anything at the school that I work at. In a way, I wouldn't mind being off for 2.5 months. I'm not a very disciplined person when I'm alone though. I tend to lie around a lot. I have been following another, very sad, murder trial. It is coming to an end, probably this week. I tried listening to it in my car and it's too distracting. I will bring my headphones into the laundromat tomorrow and listen in. Blue, what a story about the RV you told! Sorry about all of that. I've put 5K or 6K into my car in the last two years and I wasn't actually ready to let it go but my brothers wanted me to be safer on my commute to work. I love the features in the new car, especially the camera and the lights on the sides that tell me that a car is approaching. I hate changing lanes but now it's easier/safer. So tomorrow I will be checking off going to the laundromat and hopefully, on Tuesday, I will be checking off going tot he gym. I had 3 early dismissal days in the last 2 weeks. This means that I have to be on the road 2 hours earlier. Then i have to walk the halls for 2 hours and 45 minutes until I get to the middle school girls bathroom where I sit at a desk. Those days are brutal. We have 3 in a row coming up in June and I predict that I will be sick on one of those days! I get sick time!

Wow, you had a busy Sunday! I did laundry today. Did a little grocery shopping. Printed off some docs at the local library for a banking appt I have later this week. I drove about an hour round trip to a new park I’ve wanted to visit only to find too many people, so I ended up doing my hour walk at the mall. Now it’s almost 930 pm and thinking about the week ahead. Very happy you got a nice buyer for your car. Do you name your cars. My mom always named her cars. My current auto is Hank. And I named Mr K car Elroy since it’s an EV. He still calls it Elroy.

Mel, I was super busy on Saturday too. I am happy with my yard sale purchases, scoring up on pet stuff at ShopRite by buying $100 worth of pet stuff and using a $50 digital coupon, buying my computer. I'm sorry about the park being too crowded. I thought about going on a bike ride yesterday but I was tired. Funny that you mention naming cars! When I test drove my new car with my brother, he asked how I liked it and i said that it felt like a Brenda car. So I named it Brenda! I don't think I ever named a car before. Hank and Elroy are cool names for cars! Have a great week!
