Bad cable company; ThisClose to the Ged; Goodbye, cars Bah. Our stupid new cable company shuts off our internet and cable at midnight every night to do "updates". I think they just do this because I am a night owl and they enjoy driving me one step closer to complete insanity. Their evil plot seems to be working, as I have been a shrieking banshee all week. Of course it could be just the stress. I mailed off my Ged application (as mentioned previously on Digs) Tuesdays, so I will get official notification for where and when I'm scheduled to take the test. I am just the worst at math so I'm very scared I'll fail that section and have to retake it, postponing when I can turn in my college application. So thats been on my mind since I dropped the damn thing in the mailbox. I got this "holy shit I just mailed off my future" feeling and have been crabby ever since. I do suppose it hasn't helped that my car is officially dead. My mechanic even offered to bury it and buy a tombstone. I took that as the final word on how gone it was. You just don't know how much I loved my little VW. For no reason even. I've had it 8 months, and it had been broken down for seven of the months. I had been able to drive it a total of 14 times. But I loved it with all my heart and I cried when I was told it wasn't worth fixing any more. Farewell friend, you went to that big highway in the sky with a piece of my heart still in the drivers seat. You will be missed. My brothers car broke down the day after so we had to follow him to my mechanic. He got his car fixed overnight, having us drive him over to pick it up at around 2pm. He went one way, we went the other toward Columbus. My uncle had us pick him up a cd burner at 0ffice M@x. There was a list of school supplies from my little bros school so I got to go school supply shopping with reckless abandon. I heart school supply shopping to no end. Is that weird? There's just something about fresh notebooks and highlighters and all that I love. I could school supply shop all day long. We finally got out of there, loaded with bags heavier than you would think. All that was placed in the trunk of the car, we started the car.. only to have it quit. We tried it again. It choked and sputtered a few times and died. Mom's car is no longer in working order. We had to wait in 96 degree, high humidity weather for a guy my uncle knows to drive down and tow her car. So where is her car now? If you guessed my mechanics, you're right. We're expecting one hella expensive bill. That is not a good thing. So we are completely car-less. Isn't it crazy how empty your house feels when you know your parking spots are empty? It's like you're a million miles from anywhere. This is going to be some week. At least we still have power. For the meantime, anyway. Stay cool, people. |
