I just wanna be a kid again.
|
I don't wanna grow up cause if I did, I couldn't be a Toys-R-Us kid. Remember that commercial?? It used to be one of my favs. I didn�t go to the gym this morning since I have no gas in my car and have no money to put gas in my car. I didn�t want to waste what little gas I have to drive 3 miles to the gym and back so that was my excuse this morning when my alarm clock went off at 5:30. Yeah, I changed my gym time. I used to get up at 5:50 and would be at the gym by 6:15-6:20 and work out until 7:30. But I was getting into work later than my supervisor and she started noticing so I decided I needed to go to the gym earlier. Yesterday on my way to work, I ran over some metal object that was in the middle of the fuckin freeway. I thought for sure by the time I got off work my tire would be flat but it wasn�t. On my way home I noticed that my alignment was off, my car kept pulling to the left and my steering wheel would shake. I had to give BB a little pep talk and tell her to just make it until next week when I got paid and I would take care of her. This morning as I was pulling out of my parking space something with my car felt weird. I got out to inspect my front tire and sure enough the motha fucker was flat. The crazy part is I didn�t even get all upset or go ballistic. My only thought was "what next?" I calmly called my Mom and told her what happen and she told me to call AAA unless I knew how to change a tire. I have seen tires changed before and could probably do it if I really had to, but I refuse to get my ass on the ground to change a freakin tire. Besides that I just got my nails done last weekend and I was not bout to mess them up. I went back in the house and called AAA and they told me that they should have some body out in 45 mins. I got a little to excited cause that meant that I could lay down on the couch and finish watching Good Morning America. Not even 20 minutes later I see a tow truck drive by. At first I didn�t think it could be the tow truck I was waiting for because it had not been 45 mins. But when I saw the truck come back around I knew he was looking for my car. After the tow truck guys put on my spare I drove to my Mom�s house to get Old Faithful (that�s what I decided I�m gonna call her Camry). BB is just gonna have to parlay up at the crib for a few days until I get paid. I freakin hate being an adult. Dammit every time I try to get ahead some shit breaks or falls apart and sets me back again. I took a good look at my tires and I think I am going to end up just getting four new tires. My tires don�t look terrible but the tred is starting to look worn. I don�t want no trouble when it starts raining so I might as well just buy the tires now. The bad part is I just threw away some coupons for new tires. I also have to have my car smog checked since my registration is due this month. Not to mention my car needs to be tuned up. *Sigh...can I just be a kid again so I don�t have to worry about all this shit?? I�m sick of being broke and being an adult cost too damn much. The worse part is a couple weeks ago I went to the ATM machine to pull out some money. The machine acted like it was going to spit out my cash, but I got nothing, not even a transaction record. I immediately went into the bank to tell them what happened and they convinced me that the money probably was not taken out of my account and if it was that the computers are good about catching stuff like that and that the money will be deposited into my account. When I checked my account last week, sure enough the money had been withdrawn which caused my account to go into overdraft, which caused a bunch of miscellaneous fees. I called the bank to report the incident and they said it takes them 3-5 days to investigate the problem. Well it�s been 5 days and I still don�t have my money. I have tried to call the bank back to check on my case but after spending more than 20 mintues on hold on Monday and Tuesday, I gave up. I hate being on hold and listening to that shitty ass elevator music. I got so desperate that I even had to ask J-mac for some money which will hopefully be here today. Ok after the pity story how bout some good news... I found out last week that I get to go to Washington DC in November to a conference for my job. My ticket is already bought and paid for but I�m trying to figure out how I can change the ticket so that I can stay in DC thru the weekend. I have a cousin that lives in DC (remember the country one from Iowa that wore the white suit to the club...I�m still laughing at that) and another cousin that lives in MD. I want to go visit them since I will be on that side of the country. Hopefully I can pay less than $100 dollars to just change my ticket. If not I might just buy myself a one way ticket back to Cali. Well that�s all the good news I have for today doesn�t compare to all the bad shit but hopefully things will only get better...I hope. |
