I'm so simultaneously sad and angry today that I don't even know why I bother. My car is effectively dead. Despite taking care of it and having only about 75,000 miles on it, it's blown a piston and will cost me so much to repair that there's little point. I've spent the last three years desperately trying to get myself to a position to buy a car BEFORE this happened so that I would not, like last time, be forced to buy a car suddenly and settle for what I could find, but there I am, yet again, with not enough money and no time and a desperate need for transportation. Plus, the sentimental side that wanted to keep this car around even after I got a new car is all sad now as well. What perfect timing as well coming only two weeks after all the crap going down with being screwed into probable forclosure on my brother and my condo in cape cod. Seriously, I cannot find any light at the end of this tunnel. Every time it appears it's just reality using a flashlight to find me so it can kick me in the damn face again. It makes me wonder why I bother trying to do anything when it inevitably ends up as part of the giant shit stream of the last few years anyway and simply ignoring everything and getting the same results would be so much less effort. Well, I'm going to head off to bed and not sleep again so I can get up tomorrow and spend the rest of my week trying to find rides to work and not having time to find a new car while still trying to find a buyer for our condo that will never emerge. Hope your days are better than mine. Commissions are currently OPEN!
