so i took my car in today because i thought it might just need some more brake fluid and although i tried to just look at it myself i couldn't for the life of me figure out which part under the hood was the brake fluid reservoir without having to lean all over my car and get all dirty, so i figured i might just have to pay a service fee and whatever for the fluid itself...

turns out i need all new brake pads !!

ahaha

haha

yay

#i swear to god it's like my car knows whenever it's tax time #like 'hey can i have some money pwease? pweaaaaase just a thousand dollars for new brakes pretty pwease?!'#i guess!!!!!!#i kinda need 'em #jokes on you though because i haven't even filed my taxes yet #i'm gonna have to wait until next week when i get paid but they said i should be able to drive on them for maybe another month as they are #i had other stuff i was gonna do today but given the circumstances i decided to just park my ass back at home #mostly i've been trying to do some ~research of the local libraries to prepare for school which is starting....soon #but i'll just have to postpone my research for the time being #it's funny too because i was watching a tiktok the other day of 'what to do if your breaks fail'#i even almost scrolled past it but something told me to go back and watch #and now i guess i know why #fortunately i haven't had to use that information just yet #but dear god today whenever i put on the breaks it sounds like thunder #just a terrible sound for a car to make #prior to that all that happened was my break light kept coming on whenever i accelerated #it would go off once i'd been rolling for a little bit or sometimes if i'd ease off the gas and then accelerate again #and when i tried to research it myself that's where i got the break fluid thing from #really hoped it was going to be that simple but it never is!!#that's just the rules!!#so anyway that's how my weekend's starting off #not great tbh but it could be a lot worse so i'm just gonna be grateful this is something i can fix #(even if i really don't want to)#and just move on with it and hope nothing else tears up on this goddamn car #because it wasn't that long ago i had to take it in for something else so....#if i could go like....mmm a year maybe before i need any more expensive ass repairs i'd really appreciate it #tires i'm looking you straight in the eye don't you even think about it #i did have my follow up with my urologist today also and they did another x-ray #she said she doesn't see the stone anymore so i believe it did in fact pass so that's some good news !!#we're just gonna keep an eye on the one that's on the other side and still in my kidney
