Flipping Fate the Bird

I really want to, really, really, really want to tell fate, God, what have you, to take a long walk off a short pier into a steaming pile of sheep sh*t. I've had enough this year, seriously, ENOUGH, and if you don't cut it out I'm going to find you and kick the living cr*p out of you.

Anyway, just when we we getting ahead, and ahead enough that I was comfortable loaning my sister a couple grand to move (she always has to wait on HUGE ass security deposits thanks to 3 kitties), the MOTHER FU*CKING C*CK SUCKING EXHAUST SYSTEM FELL OFF THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY while hubby was on his way to work. Oh and the bearings are shot and also it won't pass emissions. It's 12 years old with a quarter million miles on it but why oh why couldn't it have just lasted another 6 months.

Now add in that thanks to Crapmerce insurance and the ice storm last winter we don't have a backup car. So hubby has no way to get to work. Well he has a way for a few days after some serious shuffling with other sister and BIL but we're going to have to raid the savings and find a used car quick. Not good. It makes it harder to shop smart and we had hoped to squirrel away a LOT more money and get a better car than we're going to have to buy now. So not only do we have to put off the plumbing repairs but now we have to budget even tighter. Good thing the seedlings for the garden are doing well, at least we'll have food.

Speaking of the garden, we cleared some more sunny space and took out our frustrations at the same time by killing a tree. It was too close to the deck anyway and it cast a shadow where I want my tomatoes and ....... it looked at me funny when I was ranting about my car. It had to go.
The part that sucks the most? I had actually managed to put away a few bucks to get a couple paperbacks off my Amazon list and to buy some spinning fiber, now I'm going to have to use it to buy a POS. If you're so inclined please feel free to aim you middle finger at the sky and give 'em the bird for me.
