$700 and A Bottle of Beer

After certifing this great rate for the car. The mechanic doesn't take checks. What?? I don't have the cash readily available.
Now it's really my fault cause when I misplaced my cards I used it as an opportunity to make cash not so readily available. And it worked. It worked a little too well. I transferred funds when I needed to, etc. In this instance I needed cash. Fast thinking...who can I ask to cash a check for me(after feeling like an idiot of course). Okay that's all squared away. But I had to rectify my situation. So I made some changes that will have my cash available to me when I need it. And I'll just have to be as disciplined as I am w/my BofA card.
peace!
