Jobs and Cars

Image
Well... I bought a new car. Well, new to me. It cost me a months rent that I'm not sure how I'm going to recover from, but at least I can take the kids to school. SuperFreak found it on craiglist for me and nearly died from excitement. It's a 1997 Chrysler Concorde with only 81,500 and it's all mine now. I also got a job. This is the real excitement in my life because it's a job as a writing tutor at the college. It pays minimum wage and I only get a few hours a week (which really is all I can do) but oh my I love it! I don't think I've ever truly loved a job before but I feel like I can excel at this. Life is good. It's hard and it's crazy but it's good... Now... if I could only figure out how to pay that rent. :/

Bad Karma

I seriously don't know what I did to piss off the god of karma but this year has been the worst ever for me. Yesterday at 3:15 pm I was driving through an intersection when a red car magically appeared right in front of me. I T-boned the poor lady and totaled my stupid car. All the witnesses say I ran a red light but I would swear on a stack of bibles it was green. They also told the police officer that I was texting, which I was not and can prove! Albowin got to ride in an ambulance to the ER where they inspected his eye for glass. None was there. No one was seriously hurt, although today my wrist hurts so bad I can't even squeeze the cap of a soda bottle. I have no car. I have no money to buy a car and I now have a ticket for running a red light. I would very very very much like to move back to South Dakota where my life was simple. I would also like this year to freakin' end already!!!!
