Can this day get any worse?

I found out how much my car is going to cost me. I don’t have it. I really can’t afford it at all. With the auto guy being really nice he was able to knock it down to $500. I told him I would give him a post dated check for Friday for half of it and he wants the other half next Friday. I won’t have it, but I desperately need my car, so I agreed. I’m so screwed. How in the world am I going to get the money? I have no family to ask. So… I’m taking donations if anyone is feeling charitable. Honest, I really am. Paypal to my email address luna@the-iron-gate.com

With my car repairs bill I will have no money for food or gasoline. I’m going to talk to the Food Bank near here and see if I can get an emergency allotment of food. I really hate begging. It’s humiliating and degrading and I had vowed to never let myself get in this situation again.

Then this afternoon I go to make some soup and scald my hand. Teach me to take the bowl out of the microwave without a mitt. The whole bowl of soup went over my left hand and I’m in a lot of pain.

Of course then the other bills won’t get paid, so I’m on a ticking clock for the electricity, water, phone, internet and rent. I don’t even want to think of what may happen.

Can today get any worse at all?

  1. luna, try this website for help, http://www.modestneeds.org/. You might also want to try a local group for energy assistance or emergency energy relief (http://www.alliantenergy.com/docs/groups/public/documents/pub/p014665.hcsp). Freecycle.org is a great help for finding needed items and for gifting no longer needed items to others.

    Just keep smiling, once things get bad they cannot do anything but get better right?!

    Good luck to you.

  2. Magdala,

    Thank you so much for providing these links. I will certainly be looking into them and hopefully with a smile on my face I can get back on my feet faster than I feel I can right now.

  3. I’m sorry you’re having such a rough go of it. I’m hoping that things fall into place for you soon. I’ll send positive thoughts out to the universe for you.

  4. Thank you Kitten.

    I’ve been able to secure more hours at work this week and maybe next week to help cover these costs. While things are bleak, they are looking up. :cwy:
