*sigh* Love accidentally washed his $250 Samsung Caliber cell phone in with the laundry. He discovered it when he was putting the clothes into the dryer. We opened it up completely; unscrewed all the tiny screws and pried the damned back off – which was really hard!! – took the mircoSD card and battery out…

Honda A/C Hell – Update
Wednesday I took it to a Honda dealership to get a Honda tech to inspect it. Turns out it was completely obvious that none of the work done by the a/c place was anywhere near correct. The compressor is on the verge of complete seizure. It's leaking at both ends. It's also basically exploded, putting…
Latest on the Honda
So this morning Love got a ride into work from a friend. I got up early, got ready and called AAA. They came out, picked up the Element and dropped it back off at the repair shop. I got to work about 45 minutes late due to waiting for AAA to arrive. They had the…

Car Hell
Seriously, this is so unbelievable it sounds made up. Here’s what we’ve been dealing with. Honda Element making horrible squeal noise. Saturday, June 19th – take in to car repair place. Look it over, not sure what it is. Do power steering flush and replace pulley assembly. Car sounds worse. By process of elimination, they…
Overwhelmed
I’m going to bed. My eyes are killing me from crying most of the day. I’ve got a headache and I haven’t slept more then about 4 hrs a night for the past three nights. Today wound up being ANOTHER $415. And they couldn’t get the part today in time so I had to leave…
I Know “When it Rains, It Pours” But…
…I wasn’t prepared for a torrential downpour. To Recap: June saw over $600 to repair my car. Then $300 for Love’s (which didn’t fix the problem) and another $920 (which we thought did.) Put us severely behind and in debt, struggling to just keep afloat until we can get caught up. (Which will probably take…
Status Quo
Not much going on right now; it’s very much same-old, same-old. Going to work, coming home, watching tv, being broke – not really a lot has changed. I’ve been getting a bunch of compliments at work for helping the new girl with her training. That’s always nice. Still hate reading a script 6 hours a…
Ebay Listing
I’m helping my Mom try to sell one of her really amazing quality estate jewelry pieces, so I’ve listed it on Ebay for her. It’s 14k White Gold ring with 2 carets total weight of diamonds. Retail value is close to $5,000 but she’s asking $1,250 for it. It’s a size 6 but can be…
$918
Just add it to the mounting pile of debt I already have gotten myself into this month. We had to get Love’s car fixed yesterday – to the tune of $918. Which is better then the estimate of $1400 (+tax) that the first place gave us, but still…nine hundred dollars. Love’s compressor was going bad….
Continued Car Problems
Damn car problems persist. Two weeks ago, we dropped $640 to fix mine. Love’s is also broken. So Love’s been driving mine to work since he drives 45 minutes one way and I drive 4 miles. Well today, we spent $300, only to find out neither were the problem. They both were problems but not…
Little Bit Of This, Little Bit Of That
Nothing terribly exciting to report the last week or so. Being broke puts a damper on interesting plans, so we mainly sat around the house over the weekend. Monday of course, saw me back to work. I did the 9am-3pm shift that day because Love was supposed to see his new doctor at 3:30pm but,…
Wonderful
So the jeans sold for 99 fucking cents (the opening bid) and the other pants didn’t sell at all. Basically not only did I give the pants away for free, once I factor in fees, my time, gas and such, I lost money on the deal. All I wanted to do was fucking get some…
So Much To Say, So Hard To Get It Said
And…it’s Tuesday again. Been meaning to update for a few days now but I really haven’t felt like it, there hasn’t been much to say that wasn’t a downer and there just didn’t seem much point. But I’m at work and I’ve already had a very busy morning so I felt like I needed a…
Car Repair
An image from today’s adventure… And yes, my car IS missing it’s right front tire! Don’t worry though, I got it back. I guess they have to take it off in order to access the compressor. $636.43 in debt later, my car once again has functioning air conditioning and is thus drivable in here on…
