Sorry for not updating until now...

Since I dropped off the car at the mechanic's at about 3pm that day and they closed at 6pm (there were about 4 cars ahead of mine at the time), the mechanic asked if I could leave it there overnight. So I rented a car. Anyway, it turns out that my car's cylinder head needs to be replaced. Bottom line: it'll cost $1500!! Which of course I don't have. The mechanic said that he can let me leave the car until today while I decide what to do because it is not drive-able.

In the meantime, I have kept the rented car because Wednesday I had work, followed by picking up my bridesmaid dress (they didn't have it due to a mix-up in paperwork so they had better have it today), then the rehearsal dinner at my dad's house that evening. After the rehearsal dinner I went to my brother and sis in law's apt with some of the other members of the bridal party to help with wedding stuff, and we ended up staying up all night finishing that. I am exhausted.

Today I have to decide what to do about my car. Tomorrow I am meeting up with my sis in law and the other bridesmaids at the hotel they are staying at. I think my sis in law's mom is paying for a spa day thing. And Sunday is the wedding. Monday I have off, and I'm seeing my therapist that day. I know I have only been seeing her for a few wks but I don't feel that she is helping me at all. I go in and tell her that I am stressed out and she doesn't give me any suggestions, doesn't help me to calm down, nothing. I mean, why do I bother?

I don't know what to do. I need a new car. Mine is a 2004, so I feel like spending this much on a 9 yr old car is wasteful. That's a down payment on a new car. I didn't have a car for 3 years before I was able to save enough to buy this one for cash. I have not been able to save money lately. I wish someone would make the decision for me.
