Remember that whole had a good day yesterday thing? Yeah, well to fucking hell with that today. My Love's coming home and doesn't even make it like a block before white smoke just starts pouring out the exhaust. Couple months ago we were having problems with overheating and we kept having to put antifreeze in it, and the problem never went away, we just kept dealing with it sometimes overheating and tried not to drive it anywhere. Today, we had to call AAA out to tow it and the mechanic who picked it up said it looked like a head gasket. Joy of fucking joys. This is like a $750+ repair. This was also something that was done when we first got the car because there was a recall on this exact problem on the '95 Mustang. But, seeing as that was done like over three years ago, I seriously doubt they'll still warentee the work at this point.

Here's the problem. We now have no car. My friend Jef said he'll lend us his so my Love can get to work tomorrow, but we're looking at either paying rent or getting our only mode of transportation fixed. Yeah, this is so fucked up. $735 for the rent (due tomorrow, if not, we'll rack up about $200 in late fees the first day it's past due) or at least about $750 (that's a rough estimate, they won't know until tomorrow) to fix the car and only enough to pay one. With no more income available for two more weeks (and of course that income needs to go to things like power and phone and pesky bills like that).

Fuck fuck fuck. Why can't I get a break? Pay rent or fix our only working vehicle (that is the only way for my Love to get to and from the only source of income)? Lovely choices aren't they? I fucking hate my life, it's so not fair.
