I had a fabulous day today because I decided that's what I wanted to experience. Yesterday I was so angry AND I had enough of that. I had a 2-hour break during which time I was able to run to the bank and fill my gas tank. I finished work at 9:30 pm and started at 8am. Chris misunderstood and he would've made arrangements if he knew he had to do that. Being angry is a huge downer and it is also a CHOICE. I choose NOT to dwell on that. Work was alright and I didn't feel as tired as I did yesterday. I got home and thought I needed to stick my rent in the night drop. On my way there the oil light flashed on my dashboard. I thought I'll go to Walmart. BUT then it flashed AGAIN sooo I turned into the gas station and bought some oil. I poured the entire bottle AND I was thinking it was surely fine and I'd get some of the students tomorrow at Stevens-Henager College to help me. This Mexican guy came over and began speaking Spanish to me. I told him I was Polynesian. He asked if he could help me by checking my oil. I told him to go ahead since I REALLY didn't know what I was doing. I DID manage to pour the oil in the right place at least. He told me I needed at least 3 more bottles but that I should go to Walmart where oil wasn't as expensive. I told him o.k. I'll go drive there and he said NOOO U can't drive your car before putting oil in it. He said he was there with his wife, brother-in-law (about 11) and mother-in-law. He offered to drive me go to Walmart and get the oil. I am sooo grateful for his help. He asked if the car was unusually hot or if it made any noise. It didn't OR maybe my radio was turned up too much. He and his family had just finished church. He is a member of the Assembly of God Pentacostal church. He told me 10 years ago he was dying from HIV, syphillis, and gonnorhea. He led a VERY different life then. He found God and the savior or rather he probably thinks of them as one in the same-he was completely cured AND completely converted and has been traveling and sharing his testimony with people for the last 10 years. I told him I also served a mission in Sacramento, California. His name is Pablo Munoz. His wife and mother-in-law are both named Gloria and the 11?-year-old brother-in-law is Noe Guzman. They could barely speak English so Noe translated a whole lot. It reminded me of some of the Tongan families who frequently rely on their children to translate for them. I'm definitely going to give them money. I have about 30.00 left in my account after paying my rent, filling my gas tank AND buying oil thanks to the attorney and insurance payment. I have to go to the bank and overdraw it on purpose for this to work. I just did it to file bankruptcy, I can certainly do it to pay them. I keep feeling like I need to give them $500. I do feel they deserve that. I just don't feel like I can really afford to do that now. BUT that's what the spirit's telling me so I'd better listen. That's going to leave me with $650 to budget veeery carefully. I have to pay my tithing, utility bills, and food with that for 2 weeks. Actually when I see it written out like that it doesn't seem so bad. BUTTT-My $200 title loan payment is due then, Tithing 170-Rent again $300, I need a little under 200 for my bankruptcy payment. I feel like my car is a money-sucker. STILL it's cheaper than buying a new car. At least for now. I can just do this again if need B.
