[Princess10]

Things were going so good. I guess it couldn't last forever.

Late last week my Uncle passed away. The funeral was yesterday & my parents drove us. It was out of town & Mapquest gave my dad the wrong directions & we literally got there at the last minute before it started.

By the time we left to come home my cold turned from annoying to terrible. My dd wanted a ride to school (she walks one mile away) & I was so mad since I feel even worse than last night, but I took her. Princess came with, as always. Well trying to leave the parking lot my car messes up, has little battery power, no power steering, no heat. It's 37 degrees & Princess is trembling even tho I'm trying to hold her wrapped in a fleece jacket, a blanket & she's wearing her double lined coat. I can't get a hold of anyone but finally my lil sis picks us up.

We're home now & I gave her some warmed canned food, she's sleeping next to me now. Glad she's ok, but my stress is through the roof. My next two checks are finely budgeted to take care of Christmas & remaining bills, not fix a car. Oh, and I have to work in the morning at 5a.m. a time when no one is avail for a ride to work.

Sorry for venting/ranting, just feeling pretty screwed! Thanks for listening.
