   WHY?!?!
I don't have much time, exhaustion will take me soon.

The Run Down:

Grandmother calls, we talk she asks about my car. Car (Breakshaft) is still overheating to the point that the antifreeze in the car boils in the tank. She hounds me to take it to get it fixed. I have no money and I don't want to. She insists and tells me she will help me take care of it. I ask where should I take it? She has no clue.
I find car place. Very nice. Man takes me back into the shop, shows me the GINORMOUS crack in my radiator, my fusing and derelect water pump, and the sticker on my Timing belt that reveals that it has not been changed in SIX years.
And to boot, the engine was at 226 degrees when I brought the poor bastard into the shop.
Nice man says that no matter radiator, water pum, and timing belt HAVE to go. Seeing their condition I whole-heartedly agree.
Granmother calls, Where did you take it? Why did you take it there? He's trying to swindle you. You are young and stupid. I explain and agree to all of these things, but after taking the poor wretched thing to so many different places and it NEVER getting better I'm ready to just go a head and put new stuff in it and BE DONE WITH IT.
Nice man says, car will be finished tomorrow.
Me ^-^.
Nice man calls and says car is finished everything works great.
Cost for labor and parts.
Nine hundred and fourty six dollars and sixty-seven cents.
$946.67
I figured that it was going to be this much anyway, right now I really don't care.
Granmother calls.
I tell her what the Nice Man did for the car, what was replaced, and the total cost.
Grandmother is NOT happy.
Once again I find myself screamed and cussed at.
But she is going to pay for the repairs.
Item: My rich snooty Aunt also knows about this and was present when Grandmother yelled and cussed at me, so now I shall never hear the end of how I am mooching off of my grandmother and taking advantage of her and being a total POS worthless bum.
This was not my idea in the first place.
Not my idea.

Item: Roomate Jeff is now bummed out and pissed off beacue of something one of our co-workers at Wal-Fart said to him.
I have no idea what it was.
But I think it has something to do with me because he gave me a hug and told me that he loved me and that everything was going to be ok.

Jeff has been so nice to me throughout this whole process and I want nothing to break his heart, especially if I am somehow involved indirectly.
It makes me want to kill <>.<>

Up beat Item: I started my Yoga/Pilates class yesterday and am very excited ^-^.
Teacher is nice.
I start my American Sign Language class today and am also very excited ^-^.

The Bottom line:

Car is fixed. For good. (OR ELSE <>.<>)
I am healthy and in the best shape of my life. I'm in school. I live in a ritzy brand new apartment THAT IS CLEAN. Food in my tummy and a bottle of Aquafina at my side ^-^. Wonderful friends on MyO and here at home. And despite the misgivings, a family that loves me.

Now I will retire to the nest and curl up to sleep with happy dreams. ^-^

Love and more to come,

-Serrafina
