I finally got around to putting the car in the shop, like I had planned. I had figured that the uncashed paycheck I found in my glove box would go to that, that's how it works in my life. Do I get to use any spare money on clothes, music, etc? No, I get that money because I need it for something important, like doctor bills, or car work, or getting the sewer unplugged.
I knew that there was something wrong with the front axle of the car. It was making popping sounds, and I felt like I was driving a clown car and that feeling was just getting worse over time. I finally put the car in the shop because I was having trouble controlling it past 45 mph.
Both axles needed replacing. I think the guy at the car shop said $475, but I'm afraid I freaked out and what he really said was $575. I will find out today. It had to be done. There's no getting around that one. This takes all the paycheck AND the money I had to rent a truck and pay for the dump. So I guess I will be slowly putting the bags in the trash. I have like 35 bags! It's going to take a long, long time to get rid of all of it. I'm afraid the industrial waste will have to wait until next year,
At least I can get rid of the electronic waste. That's in town, and free, I think.

On the bright side, the cats love the radio room. It's filled with cubbyhole, and a desk shelf runs around half of the room. They are using it all to snooze on and to romp! Today I'm moving the litter boxes in there, and tomorrow, I will start feeding them in there as well. I will put the large trash can I have in there to store the used cat food tins. They won't be lying around on the floor like they have been. I WILL become more tidier. Do have to buy ant spray and go around the edges of the radio room. Just to be safe.
