rolling with the cranky’s
my life lately … a series of Cranky and Not So Cranky moments …
CrAnkY:
the asshole who rear-ended me and drove off, leaving me with a lovely set of bent frames … mine and the car’s
Not So Cranky:
my car is drive-able
CrAnkY:
the cops who never bothered to look for the guy who rear-ended me, even though i followed him ['til he lost me] and got his plate number … which was either 4HER358 or 4HER368, in case you see him 
Not So Cranky:
i have auto insurance
CrAnkY:
insurance companies who appraise your car, send you checks for repairs then, at the last minute, decide to total out your car
Not So Cranky:
i have zakk’s truck to drive
CrAnkY:
i needed to fix the truck’s AC and heater before i could drive it
Not So Cranky:
i get to buy a new car
CrAnkY:
fucking car payments, which i haven’t had to live with for over ten years
Not So Cranky:
my siblings and our families are going on our first [maybe last? :)] family vacation to gettysburg, baltimore and washington dc in july
CrAnkY:
my ex informing me, a week ago, that jocelyn isn’t going because she has to go to summer school and ROP to help catch her up on credits that she lost during her freshman year in HS
CrAnkY:
the fact that i’ve spent over $500 that i can’t get back on her tickets and such
CrAnkY:
which also means she won’t be coming to stay with me this summer, except for maybe a week or something
Not So Cranky:
zakk is ready to take his driving test, which i’m sure he can pass
CrAnkY:
now i REALLY have to go buy a car
Not So Cranky:
i lost 12 lbs
CrAnkY:
i gained 5 lbs back
Not So Cranky:
i can balance my checkbook
CrAnkY:
my mother CAN’T and isn’t comprehending her FIXED INCOME status
Not So Cranky:
my mother will bake me cookies anytime i want
CrAnkY:
i tried to get out of bed and my back said no … for 4 days
Not So Cranky:
my paycheck sucked, but i’ll live
CrAnkY:
everytime i go to the grocery store i end up spending over $250
Not So Cranky:
umm, i don’t go to the grocery store very often, that’s probably why CrAnkY:
the money i took out with my mortgage refinance is not getting spent the way i intended it to be spent
Not So Cranky:
it’s just money and it’s not being frittered away on crap or anything
CrAnkY:
i have lost all interest in going on vacation because i’m really, really sad that jocelyn won’t be there with us … [it's ok, tari!! i'm NOT gonna back out! i just feel crappy]
Not So Cranky:
i know that i’m going to have a good time once i get there … as long as all those CICADAS are gone, eww
But do you *have* to buy a new car? Can you spend the insurance money on a practically new, but $5K less because it’s a year old and you bought it from the owner over say Yahoo Classifieds after researching said car on Consumer Reports and Cars.com, and so can live without car payments and the huge financing costs? ‘Cause that shit makes me extra extra cranky.
Kisses. And harrumphs re: Jocelyn not being around. Maybe she can take regular self-portraits for you.
So, basically, you’re leading MY life. Well, except for the patio door glass which exploded for no reason into microscopic shards while we were eating dinner. And nothin’ hit it… twas the inside pane that committed glassicide. No way am i going to even suggest things will get better. Chances are, i’d wake up in the morning bald and with a lip herpe the size of a baseball.
wow! that’s some crappy luck. I say get the cookies from your mom and share them with your favorite bloggers
