I just found out that I have a coolant leak coming from the water pump on my car. My "guy" is not available to fix it until after Labor Day. Do I suck it up and go without a car for the next two weeks (including four vacation days I took off) or pay extra to get it fixed? I don't really have much extra right now.
The good thing about not having a car is that I spend less money. Not counting bus fare, I can't make extra, random trips to the store, and have to plan ahead what I'm going to eat and buy. Plus, I can't go to the liquor store. Which I haven't really wanted to. C sent me an email saying he wasn't sure if we had anything to talk about, it hurts, I'm awesome, if I ever need anything to call him, etc. I wrote back that no, we didn't have anything to talk about and it's pretty silly that we thought spending time together wouldn't be stressful. We used to be in a relationship, now we're not. There's stress inherent in that fact, and it probably wasn't a good idea for us to make a habit out of talking or spending time together anymore. Yay? Okay.
I don't really know anyone in this city though. I used to borrow his car when mine was broken, sometimes we would carpool to work. Oh well.
I'm sitting on the front porch staring at my car right now. Damn you car. I am going to dust my bike off and see if I can get it in working order. The brakes need to be tightened, and I am not mechanical, but yay internet! If I could get used to biking and bussing everywhere, I would actually be pretty okay without having a car. Lord knows I have a lot of time on my hands lately.
When it rains it pours.
