I got a call yesterday about my car. They told me that they still don't know what's wrong with it, but they think it might be my computer in my car. They said to get that reprogrammed I would have to take it to the dealership. I submitted a question online to the dealer to ask about costs of this type of repair. I'll probably call them monday if I dont hear anything. If it's too much, I'm probably just gonna have my car sit forever again.
As for my dads car... he was able to get it legalized. It passed inspection and emissions, surprisingly. He paid his personal property tax and so, we have legal plates and I have a car to drive. So, while it's not the greatest outcome, at least I'm not screwed anymore.
I am however, broke as a joke. I gave all the money I borrowed for my car to my dad to get the car legalized and everything. I run shifts at work this weekend, so I wont make any tip money. Hopefully my brother can loan me some gas money til at least monday, when I'll make a few bucks in tips.
Also, I had a doctor's appointment yesterday. I really had no reason to go in, other then to talk about my low testosterone count. But, I left feeling disappointed and confused. Last time while at the doctor I was apparently pretty adamant about losing weight to him. He suggested some things for me to do, and apparently he had high expectations. He pretty much reprimanded me for not sticking to a diet and for not losing more weight. He even went so far as to tell me, "you don't want to lose weight. if you did, you would've done what I suggested." Which is kind of unfair. Because, I actually did do it for the first few weeks. But, I don't think it really came across to him while I was there, because I was kind of caught off guard. He acted like I've been doing nothing to change my habits and that I'm basically lazy and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Well, I do know and I have changed a lot of my eating habits. But, my level of enthusiasm that was there 3 months ago, didn't match the fact that I had only lost another 3 pounds. (btw, i lost 3 more pounds) I swam a lot this summer, I ate so much better than i would have in the past. My job causes me to be more active. And another issue was my feet. I waited 9 weeks for insoles. It's hard to do to much when your feet hurt constantly.
Regardless, to a degree he was right and I did lose sight of enthusiastically tackling my weight. That's my biggest issue. I have all the knowledge, but when it comes to application over the long term I have a lot of trouble staying focused. I'm going to kick this into high gear as soon as i can afford some groceries. I've already started working on a menu and identifying what excercises I can do with stuff around the house. Right now, I can't afford excercise equipment or weights or a gym membership, so I will have to do things Rocky 4 style. Unfortunately, though in real life it takes more than a 20 minute montage to get ripped.
