TGIF!

What a week! I've had so many ups and downs, I'm deseperate for this weekend to start!

Wednesday I was all geared up to go to the PUG meeting when it happened. Car trouble. I've owned my car for almost 4 years and never once had a serious issue with it so, I guess maybe I was due. My 2003 Corolla and I have a very stable relationship. I take care of her and she takes me where I need to go. On Wednesday, however, we had a little tiff. I took her into the dealership and was trapped at home most of the day wondering what would happen. Then the call came. Mike, the Toyota guy gave me that bad news that the damage would cost me $400. So, I freaked out. THEN they called back after having someone double check the problem and informed me that it would actually cost $700. EFFFF!! Thank goodness I have wonderful parents. I don't like asking them for money and they know it, so they offered me a little help. Now, I owe them instead of Citi Bank. Thanks Mom & Dad!

I've had so much stress in my life the past few months that it's been bottled up to the point where the car trouble was the straw that broke the camels back. It was meltdown day. All I wanted was for the day to be over. I was in bed by 8:00 and when I woke up the next morning, it was Paul calling me to make sure I was okay and to offer me help if I needed it.

I have to say that through it all, Paul was there for me to listen to my blithering rediculousness and I really appreciate it. Over the past year that I've been working with Paul and Krystal, I've really opened up to them and let them in. There are very few people that know me well and more over, actually get me. I know that I can vent my frustrations to them without judgement.
Thanks for being such great friends, guys! Squish!
