Tags, Oil Change and Sparking

Good evening, World!

I left the house this morning and went and got an oil change. I was given a discount that cost less even though I was getting more for the money. I was blessed. God is Good!

But, I think He was buttering me up for a little while later when I found out that Uber was asking me for proof of registration for my car by December 1. Apparently, we are no more closer to getting my tags than we were a month ago. I was not happy. 

I talked to a lawyer. I talked to a person who works in the Tax assessor's office, and I talked to someone who works at another reputable dealership in town. 

He ran the vin number and found that the car had been registered in California in September, which was the same month I bought the car. Which explains why there is such a big problem now. 

But, the fact remains that the car was sold legally up to this point. It has a title, the title just hasn't been transferred yet by the previous lien-holder. That is standard for the most part; so, there is no legal recourse for me until and unless the car's paper tags run out after being renewed a third time. Legally, paper tags cannot be renewed more than 3 times. 

So, I am stuck, until my paper tags are renewed and expired again, 45 days after December 20th. 

If I lose my Uber Account, I will just try to get it re-instated once my new car is finally tagged. 

It might be a blessing in disguise. Maybe I can start fresh with no marks or complaints against me and have a perfect rating starting out with a new account. 

I'm not so sure I can complain about that, because there is no statute of limitations on any marks against me. They stay until I reach 3 strikes and then I am out for good with no hope of getting my account re-instated. Even if I work it for 10 years.

  And, today, I made $170. So, I think I'll be okay if I can keep this momentum up with Spark.

At least I still have Spark and the other delivery apps for now. 

Well, I'm watching Lost until I wind down and go to bed. 

Have a blessed night!

Training, Avon, Oil Change, Spaghetti, Dogs and Cats

Hello, World!

I've been training a new guy at work. I suspect my hours at work are going to be changed up some because of his need to get used to the job. But, I guess I could use the experience elsewhere.

It isn't like I have to "disrupt" my life to accept the challenge, though.

Today, I mailed off the last of my personal loan repayments. All my bills are caught up. I have money in my savings account, and money in my investment account (which I need to check, btw...)

I sold $110 worth of Avon during the last few days out of my bucket. I still have a delivery to make, but I have to wait until she is back in town next week to make it. And, I already have over $150 worth of orders for next campaign to make.

Today, I finally got my much needed oil change done. I was over 5,000 miles overdue for it. I also got my fluid levels checked. My car is still in top shape -- except for being dirty and badly needing a detail clean, which I think I'm going to have done after I quit smoking in April.

My housemate, Gary, made a big pot of AWESOME Spaghetti. I'm the only person I know who can do it better, though. But, since I am too lazy to cook after cooking all week at work (last thing I want to do when I get home is work...) I am enjoying it immensely!

Milo was woofing at me yesterday morning. I was busy sitting at my desk, scrolling through Facebook and "picking up techno-cans" (a term I use for surfing the internet and making pennies a day doing it). I impatiently told him "No, you just went outside."

He "woofed" at me again.

I picked him up and put him in my lap.

He was okay, but wouldn't be still. I put him down. He woofed at me again, this time scratching my leg with his paws. I told him, "Go lay down and go night night! You've already had a treat!"

He woofed again.

I impatiently got up and said, "Fine. I gotta fix a glass of tea anyway. C'mon. You can go outside." I turned around to see Ginger, the cat, on Milo's bed, licking her paws.

Sigh. I don't let the cats in my room AT ALL. She must have snuck in. Milo was just tattling on her. He wanted his bed back.

I apologized to Milo, gave him a treat, ran her out of my room, fixed me a glass of tea, and didn't have any more problems out of Milo after that.

Guess I need to quit assuming when it comes to Milo trying to communicate with me. LOL

Well, I'm enjoying my day off today!

Have a blessed day!
