Fuck. Fucking fucking fucking fuck.
I paid $1800 for my car today, for all the repairs it needed to have. That was basically my entire checking and savings. I have to pay $600 more for it tomorrow. I don't have $600. I have $70 cash from dog-sitting.
I have to have the car to pick D up from the airport and to go hiking with him on Tuesday. I called my friend B, who is a mechanic, and asked him whether I'd be okay to drive it just a little bit longer without the $600 repair. The answer is no. Not if I want to actually get anywhere further away than 20 miles without tearing my engine to shreds.
So I bit the bullet and called my mother. 2 hours of listening to how irresponsible I am and how I shouldn't be living on my own and she agreed to transfer some money into my checking account (my OWN money, it's just in an account which I cannot access without her signature).
I'm not irresponsible...it's just that $2400 is a fucking lot of money all at once, especially on a grad student salary. My only monetary irresponsibility is binging. I don't buy myself anything other than food and plane tickets.
And then I get home, and I have a letter from my grad student insurance saying that EVEN THOUGH THE SCHOOL TOLD ME MY VACCINES WERE 100% COVERED, APPARENTLY THEY ARE ACTUALLY 0% COVERED. So I cried. A lot. That's another $237 I don't have. And I can't ask my mother for help there because she is anti-vax and I would not just have to suffer through hours of lecture...I would probably be totally disowned from the family. I'm not exaggerating.
So now what the fuck am I going to do?
I'm going to call the health center tomorrow.
And I texted D even though he is at a conference and I should not have bothered him. And of course he didn't respond. I shouldn't have expected a response. But I really really wish I'd gotten one. I guess I'll see him tomorrow night.
I shouldn't be unloading on him anyway because I need to be happy and awesome so that he loves me and doesn't feel stressed about our relationship and/or leave me for F.
I tend to get irrational and insecure when I am upset. That previous thought is proof.
I'm going to go cry some more and then take a nyquil to put myself to sleep.
Didn't eat today.

ReplyDeleteI'm in a similar situation with my motorbike. the Paternal Unit pronounced the situation "Pretty Grim" which translates to "Think about looking for a new motorbike" D: I'm crossing my fingers and toes for both our mechanical children.
Best of luck to you for the weekend, pretty Salix! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
