Stop driving the car
Check the water pump and hoses
you can get a look at it by pulling the carpet behind the seats and removing the access panel

probably not the head gasket
if its the water pump. its a reasonably easy DIY
Water pump, Thermostat, and coolant will cost you $350-400
Or you can have an indy shop do it, probubly add $300-400
What part of San Diego are you in? There are a lot of good shops that will not rip you off here
