Life Update

Hello bloggies,

I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything in the last few weeks. I felt like I needed to explain but also do a little bit of venting as well. Not that I'm mad...just that I think writing about it may make me feel better? I'm not sure. This is an experiment..hopefully it doesn't make me feel worse.

I wanted to do just a quick update on what is going on in the land of Seri Sunshine. Last week I had the pleasure of flying back to my hometown in Oregon to participate in one of my best friend's wedding! I left early last Thursday and on my way to the Denver airport my car broke down...It was a mess. I immediately started having a panic attack and started crying and shaking and FREAKING out! The whole time I just kept thinking, "Oh my god, I'm going to miss my flight which means I am going to miss the wedding and throw off all of the plans for the night before the wedding and stress out the bride!" etc, etc. Then I call my mom, she calms me down and gets things situated for me. Well, I get everything set up to get my car off the side of the freeway but I still have no idea how I am going to get to the airport. By the grace of God a man who works at the airport pulls over and takes me the rest of the way and drops me off at my terminal (I need to send him a thank you card..)

Now, my trip home was nice and the wedding was absolutely amazing and I had a wonderful time but I couldn't help but stress out the whole time I was in Oregon because I kept wondering how I was going to get home and to work the next day. I had no idea what was wrong with my car other then the fact it wasn't working. I finally figure out how I am getting home from the airport and figure out a bus/train rout to get me to work...that helps relieve my stresses slightly. I was then able to get a towing company to tow it to a mechanics shop that is fairly close to my house and wait for the results. The really nice front desk lady calls me up later that day and tells me that my timer belt has broken. This is not good. Not only did my timer belt break but it also damaged other parts of my engine! So the lady talks me through the prices and it sounds like it's going to be $755 at the highest to get it fixed. Not too bad, right? It's not ideal but do-able. I give the to go-ahead and she says they will get started as soon as they can.

Well, this brings me to today. This morning I woke up and didn't feel quite right and about half way to work I puked at one of the train stations and had to go back home. Being sick! Yay! I didn't think that my luck could get any worse, except for that it did. The lady from the motor shop calls me and inform me that she miss quoted the original price and that it's going to be around $2,150!!?? WHAT?!? I don't have that kind of money!! *cue the next panic attack* At this point I just give up on life and call my parents. They kind of took it over for me and have chatted with the mechanic shop themselves and are helping me pay for things and pretty much say that I should start saving for a new car by next year because my current one isn't worth fixing again if it breaks down...

So, as you probably could guess, I have been a bit too stressed to do any blog postings lately. I am going to try my hardest to get one out by the end of the week but don't hold your breath for that.

Byeee.
