Murphy's law

My car broke down today. Great. Well, worse things are happening all over. So, I'm going to fix it. Myself. I can't afford a new one, no matter how many months of "free" financing you're offering. Sorry. I appreciate the offer though. For a while there, I considered taking it somewhere to have it fixed. But........I really don't know where I would take it. I know I can fix it. Besides, what little emergency fund I do have saved I may need for an actual emergency. This is just an inconvenience.

Does it sound like I'm complaining? Well, I'm not. I'm just keepin' it real, dog. I'm grateful for friends who've offered to shuttle me around while I work this through. The rent's paid, I've still got power, food, clean water,.........not to mention a car to be fixed at all. Remember what I said about soldiering on? I think I hear the cadence now. Yo lef, yo lef, yo lef, right lef.......

Which kinda goes back to what I've been saying about competent help. Doctor's, lawyers, mechanics, customer service...........you get the point I think.

Its tough to keep a positive attitude sometimes. Not impossible, but tough. Well, goodnight John Boy.
