I thought when I left my mother's house, I would be leaving for a better life. I thought my days of just scraping by were done, but...I'm still waiting for the light and still cursing the bread.
I got into a minor accident a little while ago--all the damage was to my car and, even though my light was green, I still got the ticket. Now my court date is tomorrow... And I still don't have money for insurance....And illinois is such a sunnavbitch about insurance. I can barely afford rent and groceries but I need my car to get to work. GWAH!!!
I also need to get back into school. My loans are already do and I don't have any money for that either.
And poor Rio. He had to quit his job and now he can't find work anywhere. He's been looking everywhere, but no one's hiring. I couldn't even get him a job at the place I work. And lately, he's been stuck dragging my sorry ass around everywhere since my car is still out sick. I have to replace the headlight and find away to keep it where it's supposed to be (it's kind of like an eyeball hanging out of its socket right now, poor Zzm).
Of course, I am really blessed that no one got hurt in the accident. And I'm still blessed to have such a wonderful person like Rio hanging around. I don't know where I'd be without him. He's been really down lately about being unemployed. I think he feels guilty. But I keep reminding him that it's not his fault--that the sunshine will come soon. As long as we have each other, we will make it through.
So--maybe there is some sun shining through the clouds. But I'm still sick of bread.
