One step forward Three steps back

Some days i wish i was as lucky as Daena and was able to walk to my job.This morning i figured i would take the back roads to work.I had to be there at 3 am and i wasn't in much of a hurry when 5 deer decided to jump around on the side of the road and i let off the gas and i heard a loud pop.When i got by the deer i stepped on the gas and the engine was making a loud swooshing noise.Damn it the spark plug blew out of the head again.I continued to work anyways.

Even though it was making a terrible noise i made it to work without any problems.I got done work early so i tried to call Tracie to have her meet me somewhere cause i was low on gas.Guess what?the day i need the answering machine working it was unplug the night before cause of the asshole telemarketers and i couldn't get ahold of anyone.Daena was at work,father-in-law had no vehicle,i'm screwed
I had a 1/4 of a tank of gas when the plug blew but the damn light came on soon after i left work.I think i might of drove 10 to 12 miles to work after the plug blew out.I held my breathe all the way home and i was 1/2 mile from home when i started running out of gas.I swerved back and forth and was able to make it into the driveway and coasted to where she sits now.

I was worried i might have to change heads and my fear has come true.I am lucky i have another 91 cavalier in the back yard and hope like hell the head is good.

Ha ha! Well, it's not actually luck. I walk to work because I have to. Could you imagine if I had to drive to work on what little I am paid? Ha ha! No chance. I'd have to get a job.

You can call me or text me on my mobile if you need to when I'm at work. I don't always get a signal in the barn, but I'll get the message eventually.

Anyway, hang in there and don't feel bad. Your luck will change. It's just taking a little longer for you guys to get a handle on your finances. Once you figure out how to manage your money, you'll have so much to spare that you won't know what to do with it!

I sure hope like hell my luck changes.I know it is really tough money wise but it happens so fast that a person don't realize what is happening until it is too late.

I wanted to let you know that i didn't get your e-mail you sent me on your phone.
