Bad News comes in Threes

I believe that's what they say. Well, I hope that three is all we're going to get. First, Tessa broke her leg on Monday, (total expenditure, just $800). Yesterday, Kim took her SUV in to have the breaks looked at, and it needs new brakes and tires, which will cost us about $550 - $700 once done. And today, I took my Saturn in for an oil change

Owwww. Ow ow ow. Good thing you have the savings, though. Wow.

[matthiasrat]

Indeed. Got an official estimate today of just under $2200 for the repairs. Should be done by Monday. Thankfully, this shouldn't affect our monthly bills or anything like that, just going to give a smack to our savings. I knew I was saving up for something big. Didn't think it'd be this though!

We'll get through it though. It's way cheaper than buying a new car.

Awww, man, that's rough. At the same time, it is way better to get the cars in shape before winter.

Hang in there, both of you, and pat Tessa from me. *hugs*

I still need to have them put my winter tires on. They better not need replacing!!

Tessa went in today to have her cast examined to see if they need to adjust it (being a growing puppy and all). She's already started trying to gnaw on it, hence the cone of shame!

We're going to be okay. Just it will take us a while to get back into the same financial shape (if ever).

Eep. At least you guys are fundamentally okay. Hope you have an enjoyable Hallowe'en.

It went well, yes. I caught a cold and have been staying home from work the last few days, even though I probably could have gone in today and been fine. Just Kim and I work in opposite directions so it would be rough on her taking me in. I've got to contact a friend tonight to see if I can commute with them. I have no reason to take tomorrow off!
