Now I know that I am not truly unlucky. People in the Tsunami or 9/11 disasters were truly unlucky, but I have definitely hit a bad stretch. I left my job, which I believe is a very positive thing. I miss it terribly and all of my students, but I am finally moving forward with my life. My car is another proposition.
Last Saturday my car broke down. I had to walk a mile to a phone(no this didn't inspire me to get a cell phone) and it took 5 hours to get a tow truck. Overall it was a 7 hour ordeal by the time I got home. It was the fuel pump that needed to be replaced which cost me $800 to get fixed. (Remember me without a job.) They also fixed the back brakes at my request. So I figured that I was done with any car issues. NOPE!!!
Today I went to the bank to cash a check and grab a bite to eat at Quiznos. As I was driving out of the parking lot to go home (five minutes to seven minutes) the car did the same thing it did the previous Saturday. In the span of ten days my car has completely shut down twice. :( It got towed to another shop and I am anxiously awaiting how much it will cost this time. I feel like there is a little storm cloud just hovering over my head. So I am vigorously working on a job search. I hope others are doing well. Those of you that read this and do not like me I hope you are smiling. (There is nothing like the sight of an old enemy down on his LUCK. - Euripides)
The rest of you (estimate 10 people) I hope you are smiling too and doing great. I will leave you with this quote hoping that it is true.
