add insult to injury
Today was supposed to be my relaxing day off. It got even better when my mom let me drive instead of going around. I was going to just tag along when she went to take Raj to baseball, but instead I took him and went to lunch with Maddy.
Then I was irresponsible again, and I feel like there's no reason my parents should let me have the car again.
I was leaving the mall to pick up Raj when something happened as I was exiting the Marshall Field's garage. I felt out of control a bit, and thinking back on it I'm not sure if it was me or the car. At any rate, I went too fast coming out of the ramp and around the curve and hit the curb a bit. I heard a tire flatten but I wasn't sure which other than passenger side. I went around the garage and stopped and put up flashers in the drive towards the theater and checked it. Rear passenger side, completely flat. I called my mom and drove to the back parking lot and tried to pump it but it wouldn't go, so called AAA and got Maddy to come back, and went to find Raj. He went home with a teammate and I got to sit around and wait for AAA. Maddy stayed with me.
Anyway, when the guy finally arrives and takes off the tire, turns out it was a nail. So now I'm not sure when I picked up the nail, but it basically means not necessarily my fault. what is my fault is not leaving soon enough to get Raj, but moot issue at this point. I even got in contact with my dad for my mom when she wasn't, and she was able to get Raj to baseball game on time.
But I was irresponsible and so I'm voluntarily giving up use of the car for now because I haven't treated it well.
I feel like shit, and tomorrow is going to be hell and damnit downward spirals...
