(no subject)
Today has been one of those days where you just want to crawl back in bed and forget it's happened. Now while it doesn't sound too bad going along with how my week has been, it's been the perfect friday to close the week out on.
I was driving to school this morning, around 8:10, as I have sociology at 9 and vietnam at 10, however we didn't have vietnam today because of some meeting within the history department. However I was driving and hit a pothole, not a huge one, but the road I was driving on (Holly Springs) is breaking off at some parts which causes the road to be barely wide enough for the car to fit on. This pothole resulted in my front right tire to go off the side of the road, where it's quite sharp and rocky becuase of pieces breaking off, dent the hell out of my rim as well creating a giant gash on the inside of my tire. I pulled off into a neighborhood with a very flat tire. Now, I feel an idiot that I didn't know, but having never changed a tire, and only having seen someone do so once, I had no idea what I was supposed to do. My dad came and helped me put on the spare, and showed me how to do it so that if it happens again i'll be able to fix it unassited. By now its already past 9 so driving up to campus when i'm atleast twenty minutes away to maybe catch the last twenty minutes of class is really not worth it. I came back home and called around to find out how long and how much it would take to get a new tire and rim, since there is no fixing of the one I killed this morning. The cheapest i've been able to find is right around $200.
Now not everyone knows, but at the moment i'm looking for a job, so i've been using the money in my account left from my last job for gas , bills, etc. I currently have $550 left, I have a car payment due next week thats $150, so this with my payment is going to wipe out about half of my account. I was hoping to stretch it until after I had my surgery as the places I have talked to so far either can't hire me temporary or wouldn't be able to and then let me leave for 3-5 weeks, which is understandable. I've also only found a few that I could do without talking (middle of october to atleast the end of october my jaw will be wired shut) so I currently have no income. I know i'm letting this affect me more than I should, I have a mutual fund that i've been told to pull money out of if I need to for my car payment, but having spent half of the fun on that car I really hate to take anymore out.
Another problem is that I can't really drive much on the donut, so I either have to figure out how to get a ride to Rocky tonight, even if I do that I don't know if I can find the money, or just not go. I guess i'll figure that out a little later since the main person I would be asking is currently on his way too/from/at his parents and won't be back until tonight.
I also feel rather lonely, everyone seems to be gone or working or in class , I think maybe I will go back to bed for a bit. Atleast then when I wake up carl should be back from school, he's usually entertaining.
I need chocolate and cuddles, and maybe a money tree, that would be nice. Atleast my bloody bloody movie is supposed to get here today.
