Trouble

I am fucked. Completely and totally fucked. Even I know that I’ve gone too far this time, and that’s saying something.

How fucking stupid am I? After tonight nothing will ever be the same. I guess you really should be careful what you wish for. Because I asked and received exactly what I wanted.

I think the worst part is this whole situation awoke a whole mess of feelings I didn’t even know were there. How can I face you tomorrow? How can I look you in the eyes and still think that things will stay the same? Because everything has changed. Whether I like it or not, things can never go back. We can never go back.

This is going to keep me up all night. Do I really have feelings for you? And do I really want to go through this whole rigmarole again? I haven’t decided; it’s too early to tell.

On the one hand, we get along so well, and you obviously like me. But we work together, and that almost never works out, a lesson I’ve learned the hard way much too often.

And there’s the cons: you have a boyfriend, you’re so young. We work together for Christ’ sake! And oh, did I mention how young you are? Sweet Jesus, I think I need the cradle robbing shirt.

So we’ll see what happens tomorrow. I hope I can look you in the eyes still. Because honestly, because of this one little thing my whole world has changed, shifted, been irreversibly altered.

And I am completely fucked because of it.

Poor Car

Ugh, poor car is right.

Here’s the story. My check engine light has been on for a couple days and being the genius that I am I’ve been ignoring it. For the longest time it just stayed on because there was something wrong with the chip in the car. So when it popped up again I naturally assumed that everything was fine and there was nothing wrong at all. Then yesterday my battery light came on, and I ignored that too. Drove down to the south to pick my friend up from work. Then I was heading home on Deerfoot, and about halfway through the trip all my gauges die. Keep in mind this wouldn’t be so terrifying on a regular road but I was doing 130 on a highway with nowhere to pull over. So, making another smart decision, I decided to continue driving and hope Poor Car could make it home. And she almost did! I pulled up in the turning lane at a 4 way intersection and had to stop and Poor Car shut right down.

Thankfully, two strangers stopped to help me push her off the road and try to boost it. Didn’t do anything since apparently my alternator is gone which is apparently going to cost me a nice chunk of cash that I don’t have right now. The cherries on top? While talking to my dad last night trying to figure out what to do, phone dies. And then today is Canada Day so nothing is open. FML

I love having a car, but at least when I walked everywhere I knew nothing would ever break down. Balls
