I well understand the urge to make the girl go no matter what, and you did get somewhere. But you might not have just "used up" some coolant that has now been replaced, you might have also done some damage such as blowing a head gasket.
The next short time should tell you if you're okay. You at least need BOTH alternator-water pump V belts as well as also a power steering belt. And this time of year you don't need an AC belt but it's also in the way and you might as well do that too. Or maybe, wait and put it on your to-do list.
You did get some advice on this topic yesterday when you reported the bad power steering belt.
An engine running without circulating coolant can quickly go bad.
A car running on just the battery also won't go far, especially one with engine computer and electric fuel pump, as well as electric radiator fans. At least the damage from a discharged battery is relatively minimal and they can take a few hard discharges, though it shortens their life.
You might want to invest in AAA towing coverage for the future.
