Well, so much for the state refund.

State tax refund: $510.
60,000 mile maintenance on the car: $593 plus tax.

Okay, so no new PS2 in the near future. *sighs* Oh well. This really needs to be done. Spending the money now may make the difference between keeping Runcie for a few years after we get him paid off vs. getting a new car in a year or so. Besides, if we want to take any trips this year, it's best that we have the car in the best possible shape. Not that we have money for any trips, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

Interesting... just got my paycheck with a warning not to deposit it until tomorrow.

*blinks*

Are we so short on income again that we can barely cover paychecks? Great. Just frickin' great.
