This entire week has sucked so far. For one, I’ve been trying to fight off this annoying cold all week. One minute I’ll feel so congested I think my head is going to explode and the next minute my nose won’t stop running. I’ve been pumping my body with every kind of medicine I can get my hands on and nothing seems to really work. I just want to get better. NOW.
Yesterday, while I was at work sniffling I had a panic attack. It was around 12:00 when all of the sudden I thought DID I LET DALI INSIDE BEFORE I LEFT THE HOUSE? I quickly called my sister to see if she could go to Dave’s to check, but she was on her way to class and said she wouldn’t have time to stop there and make it to class. So during my lunch break I rushed to Dave’s house to check. I drove as fast as I could. The whole time I’m panicking that Dali is outside in the heat with NO FOOD, NO WATER, NO NOTHING. That’s when my car decided it wanted to be a little bitch again. THAT’S RIGHT. LITTLE BITCH. I started smelling smoke and the temperature gauge kept rising into HOTTER THAN HELL mode. NO NO NO NO NO CAR. PLEASE DO NOT OVERHEAT. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO ME. DALI! DALI! DALI! SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!
I made it to Dave’s house without having to pull over to let my car cool down. And I rush in to find Dali in her usual spot on her chair. SIGH. She was ok. I let her in before I left. So basically I drove all that way for nothing but to ease my mind. I immediately had to drive all the way back if I wanted to get back to work on time. But first of course I had to fill my car up with water. 10 minutes later I’m on the side of the road waiting for my car to cool down cause it overheated. I’m have 6 minutes to make it back to work on time and I’m around 15 minutes away (rushing) and I’m stuck on the side of a highway. FML
I was smart enough to bring a towel with me so I could remove the cap to the coolant container without burning my hand off, so I popped my hood, filled the container with water again and took the chance, driving with my heat on full blast when it’s still like 90 degrees in Florida. I made it to work about 10 minutes late, explaining the situation.
I’m officially done with my car. In all honesty, I probably should have gotten a car about 4 months ago, but I was riding it out as long as I could. My car has definitely run it’s course and it’s time for something new. I’m looking into Nissan Versa’s and Toyota Corolla’s. The Versa is inexpensive and is supposedly a good car and Toyota’s last forever. It will just be nice to not have to worry about whether or not my car will get me where I need to go. I’m not as prepared financially to get a car as I wanted to be, but I don’t have a choice. I need a car so I’ll have to make it work.
I just want to know why bad things always seem to happen to me all at once? I don’t think I’ll be able to handle any more stress this week.
