Constant Up and Down

I’m pleased to announce that I start my new job on Monday.  Unfortunately things are at a catch-22 right now.  I know for sure that I’ll be bringing in about $2,000 a month with everything I have going on.  At the same time, however, it just doesn’t seem to want to come in the way I need it to.

I woke up yesterday to see a load of green slime under Sean’s front right tire.  Knowing that we already had the water pump replaced, it obviously has to come from another source.  So today Lucy took me over to NAPA so I could get some antifreeze to fill the leak, and then when my neighbor showed up I ran right up to him and asked for help.  He sent me up to a guy in Sea Cliff with the goal of having a pressure test done so we can find out where the leak is coming from exactly.  We were happy to find out that the guy took us right away and threw the car up on the list.  After a little bit of waiting he came back and we were then told that we’re going to need a new radiator and a new set of some kind of tubes.  We explained that this is the third radiator in the car (since it’s purchase) and he was dumbfounded as to what’s going on.  We left it with him (thank god for Lucy today, she really helped us out) and we’ll know tomorrow why things are as screwed up as they are.

So basically, Sean and I were just getting ahead on the bills and now it’s to the point where we’re so far behind it’s absurd.  This job is going to set us back a few hundred dollars and then I need to scrape money together in order to prepare for work over the course of the upcoming week.  We also need to put money aside so that we can rent a UHaul and pick up our stuff from Delaware.  It’s a never-ending cycle of annoyance these days - I’ll tell you that much.
