one big blur

over the course of the past couple/few weeks, I don't really even know any more, I have had difficulty after difficulty in the world of the automobile.  Blowing power steering and having to get that fixed is one thing... I put the for sale signs in the car, and quickly started getting phone calls.  Some were turned off by the high mileage, well shit, so was I that thing was a ticking time bomb and I wanted to get away before it blew!  But I had two potential buyers lined up to come and take a look at it on a Friday afternoon.  After the long week I decided that I was going to treat myself and sleep in. And so I did, and I got up and at a leisurely pace put on my robe, made some hot tea and oatmeal for breakfast.  I snuggled up on the couch with my breakfast, excited with the potential of getting rid of my car and buying a nicer, newer vehicle-  CRUNCH!  I look out the picture window only to see my car rocking back and forth.  I quickly threw off my blanket and slipped into my slippers and ran outside.  Sure as shit, my car was smashed.  Who ever hit my car, and I have my theories, took off without a second thought and that was that.  There was no way now, I thought, anyone would want to buy my car and especially not for the price I was asking.  I only had liability insurance, so there was no way of fixing it either, unless I paid for it.  And being a hit and run with not a single witness, the cop said that the chances were slim to none that anything would come of it...  So I had nothing else to do but cry! It was one of those moments where I thought, yeah everything was going a little too well... I should have known that something would have to give or it just would not be my life. 

Needless to say, someone did buy the car though it was for a significantly smaller dollar amount, and I was able to find a car for myself.  It is far from free of problems, but my fiancee is trying to convince me that I at least have a car that is worth putting money into now...  Except my issue is that I had to spend $3500 on a car worth putting money into, and I have already put another $400 into it. I am about tapped out in the department of funding.  So, while I love being able to get from point A to point B, I hate cars!
