Stress is taking its toll on me I think. Lately, I've been so tired I just retreat to bed shortly after I get home from work--and actually sleep through the night. Usually, if I'm in bed before 11pm, I'm awake in the wee hours of the morning, ready to start my day.
But not lately. I'm out at 8 or 9pm. And I stay out until my alarm goes off at 6am.
It's kind of disturbing.
This entire car thing has me wiped out. I'm still waiting, btw. I haven't heard from them yet, which makes me wonder if they're just sitting the car in their lot, pretending to be concerned about it. *sigh*
Of course, my main concern is money. I've been told the car is under warrenty, but I'm not too certain if this problem is part of the warrenty (I'm thinking it's not a transmition problem). If that's the case, I'm going to have to shell out serious cash on this one. And I already dropped 400 bucks on their stupid service that was suppose to fix the problem. That's 400 bucks I could have used to fix what was wrong with it...
So much for my layoff/Christmas fund...I might be looking for a job during layoff this year.
Not knowing is the worst. Honestly, if I knew what was wrong and how much it would cost, I would feel more at ease. I could plan and prepare myself. I hate this limbo I'm in.
I suppose, if push comes to shove, I can just take the car back and park it until I save the money to fix it. Big blue isn't so bad, but the gas prices might just kill me. *laughs--weakly* Still, it pisses me off I have a relativly new car and it's useless...
Ah well~ I'll survive this somehow. I've had stupid shit happen in the past...and I've eeked my way through.
Now excuse me while I go re-join my pity party. ;P

I am SO stressed. The work and the school and the house refinancing and life in general has sort of overwhelmed me this week. I'm totally exhausted. But there never seems to be a break. I have to take a test immediately after work today...*frowns*
I mentioned your car problems to grandma. She's buying a new car today. I told her maybe you'd want her little car. It's banged up, but runs good and probably gets better gas mileage than the beast.
Sorry about your job. Limbo sucks. But I think you'd enjoy yourself more elsewhere honestly. Try to think of it as an opportunity to make a change.
Anyhoo, back to the books. *sighs*
Posted by: Sarah at September 14, 2005 02:07 PMMom kinda hinted at that too, but I couldn't ask grandma for help. I'd feel bad. It was hard enough asking dad if I could use the beast.
On top of money trouble with this whole car mess, I feel guilty because the my car is broken and I have to rely on other people to get to work. It bugs me...and I feel bad (like a loser...ha ha). Stupid, eh?
If grandma mentions it, I might consider it. I don't know what I'll do if the car costs me a grand to fix. I'll be screwed...*weak laugh*
Well...I was born with feet for a reason. 10 miles...I wonder how long it would take me to walk to work? Ha ha...
Posted by: Zoso at September 14, 2005 02:59 PMGrandma would rather help you than sell her car to a stranger.
She wouldn't mind helping you out. Shit happens, we all know that. Mom and dad too. Don't beat yourself up for needing help. You'd help them if they needed it.
Posted by: Sarah at September 14, 2005 04:56 PMI saw grandma's new car! It's so cute! Another Honda, one of those mini SUV looking things. Somehow, it suits her. Ha ha!
Yeah, she offered me to use her car if I needed it. The car place called looking for me, but I wasn't home, so I'll have to talk to them tomorrow. I'm a bit relieved--and a bit scared. Ha ha! They're going to tell me "We have no idea..."
*sigh*
Posted by: Zoso at September 14, 2005 06:29 PMI miss your grandma! She always has something good to eat, and funny to say. Not like my grandma... she just has alien conspiracies and tubes coming out her nose.
