MY valentines...on the side of the road....
I was driving home from school last night...excited about my classes being out early...and I was all ready to go home and go to bed early! I was on the phone with Jason when smoke started pouring into my car from the dash...I was so freaked out so I pulled over, shut off the car and went over to the grass....I'm on 35S right outside of New Braunfelds...in the middle of nowhere pretty much....I felt so vulnerable, freakin out on the phone with Jason, he was so worried about me, and I was so scared being all alone on the side of the road with a useless car.....
A truck pulled up and I got even more scared...remember all those law and order episodes....it was this guy who was actually pretty nice...he ended up helping me call a tow truck and I was able to tow it to my mechanics...Jason came up to get me so fortunately, he hauled ass up to where I was at and managed to get there just a few minutes after the tow truck had my car in place....
So I made it home okay, despite the odds....I felt like easy prey on valentine's day, single woman on the side of the road...alone....
SO, that was bad enough...going through that ordeal...but it turns out that my car doesnt have a good chance of making it and I"m sooo very sad about it..for multiple reasons....1. I love my car and I just paid it off 4 DAYS AGO 2. I am not going to be able to have my laser eye surgery done because I will have to take out a loan for a new car 3. This was supposed to be the year for paying off my loans and catching up on debt instead of taking out more....and then 4. which is petty stuff for most people but for me, I'm feeling so guilty...like I should've done something more for my car....the reason it died wasn't anything I could've helped....my mechanic didn't even see it coming...but I wasn't supposed to buy a new car now...I wasn't going to "let" myself buy a new car until I graduated from school or got a promotion....like a reward...and now I feel like I don't deserve it....like maybe I subconciously planned this whole ordeal so I could get a new car early....
Maaan, looks like I find out the final outcome of my car tomorrow....my mechanic is trying hard to revive it but I don't know if there is much he can do...its my engine...and it doesn't look good....I won't even TRY to explain what the problem is because he told me, but I dont' know the technical words for it....yeeah but it sounds very gruesome and bad....
So yeeeah, happy valentines day everyone hahaha....I spent mine on the side of the road fearing for my life....but you know what I will say is that it is very refreshing to see that there ARE good people in the world that genienly care for others without expecting anything in return, that man that pulled over (he was a fireman, go figure hehe) was there for more than 40 minutes...really calm and real patient....
And then its really awesome that Jason was there for me in a heartbeat and didn't even blink an eye at driving all the way out there to "save" me....its just comforting to know you're with someone that you can depend on in any situation...
So okay well...I better go to bed early...I took the day off tomorrow to study for my chem test and to sleep in and relax a bit...Amanda came over for a little bit and I made some pasta for us....a little Mario Party...a cool down I desperately needed....maan, its been a rough week...thats all I can say...pheeew
