Troubles
money...the root of all things good/evil...

So the last 3-5 days have been very interesting. I've had to shell out more than I wanted to towards life. I even missed work today because I was so tired, in addition to trying to find something that I may have gotten rid of. I've gone to hell and back over the matter, and the only thing I can imagine is...

God got it!

I took my car in to be serviced, and the issue was bigger than I could imagine. Surprised? No. My car has all the manufactured parts on it, with the exception of the tires, battery, and 1 spark plug (LITERALLY)! I just had the battery, spark plug, and tires (2nd time) done last year sometime. Even then, I wasn't financially stable to do that, but...

The weekend hits, and my car started jerking. Relatives feel that because of the previous service, the jerking was caused. Once further investigated, I learned what happened was a normal issue with my Make. Oh, I must add that the previous service, there was something else that was recommended for me to take care of, but it wasn't necessary at that moment. Well, even after the 2nd service was done, there was still some doubt that it was completely ready. Then, I got that call that said, "this is what is wrong..." All I could do was *le sigh*. So, because I'm still sitting on a few dollars, and this is an emergency, and because I need my vehicle for work, I opted to place the services on my credit card. Thing is, I can't and at the time, couldn't find my card. With that being said, I missed a day of work, and I never found my card. Got charged for expedited shipping and a replacement. When I informed the company who's servicing my car, the rep said, "Oh, well I'll let you know the estimated cost..." *shaking my head with a straight face* I said, "Just do it. I'd rather not come back up here for something else. Just do it." He laughed, and I explained when I'd be able to pay, and now everything's squared away.

So all that happened over a course of 4 days...I won't see my Bentley again until this upcoming weekend. You clearly see what today is...Thank goodness for new endeavors, because if this would have taken place while I was working part time (with full time hours) at my previous employer, I'd just be completely screwed! God is good, all the time.
