So, when do we get a break?
Because this "life" thing is getting awfully out of hand. I'm starting to wonder when things start going our direction.
My truck is D-E-A-D. Oh, they can get it running again for about $400.00. But apparently the shop that had been servicing it neglected to inform me out the shot rear suspension, damaged front sway bar, completely shot front tires, hole in the radiator hose, and multiple oil leaks, among other things. The shop manager actually laughed at me when I asked him for a rough estimate of the repairs. He just said, "I honestly didn't bother. I didn't think you'd even ask. If I have to guess, we're talking $2000 to $3000, before we even start talking labor."
And we're just talking about enough repairs to make the vehicle run again, and to make it "safe" on the road.
$2000 is more than the freakin' thing is worth. It's done for.
So, now we have to find a used vehicle, get it in our price range (which is small, since we weren't exactly PREPARING to buy a car), and just generally get our already crazy life back into control.
I just look at my life right now, and I feel like it's been in complete turmoil since the end of April. Nothing has gone according to plan, and life just keeps getting MORE complicated. Ugh. When does it start getting simply manageable again?
