Like this is the bullshit that is my life. I get some help, or I ALMOST get to a point where I could start saving up or be leveled out to handle bills in a timely manner. And then shit just fucks me over and over and over. And then I'm sunk. And it never stops. And things never really get better.

The car fix is apparently a new starter, and because of where it's located the work to fix it bumps the cost up. So I have to drop another $822 on the car to get it fixed. I haven't really thought about how I'm going to cover that. I get paid Wednesday so that'll be gone entirely.

Do I just give up on this fucking car? I don't know what to do. I have to see what they quote me tomorrow, but I feel like I'm just turbo fucked after everything. I don't know how the fuck I'm going to find another car.

All I could get out of the guy today was that it might be a "timing issue" or something "more sinister" with the car. I have a feeling I'm about to be carless for good.

Well these are still open and I'm very likely gonna need them filled soon.

So I’ve been lowkey on fire so I think it’s safe to take on some more paintings! I’m trying to improve them across the board without making everything limited to a pose or such, as well as speed at which they can come out. 250$, 3 slots! Here's a random assortment of things old and new!

Car's back at Firestone. I shit you not. I made the mistake of taking it to get gas and was going to go to walmart for a couple groceries and it wouldn't start. Panic joined triple A and had to get it towed. I'm fucking cursed. I just wait for the call to see how fucked I am again.

All of this, plus the rent stuff, plus the world falling apart, I really don't know what I'm going to do. I'm fighting a tide that's against me.

If you believe that "everyone gets one" then I've burned that up at least fifteen times over at this point. I do greatly appreciate the help on the Gofundme, and I do recognize that I'm very undeserving of that help. Thank you. It saved my ass big time. I don't know how else I could've handled that.

I do want to say thank you for the help/retweets. I am ashamed all this happened right after I was trying to make rent, and I'm ashamed to ask for help on something like this in general. These big expenses frighten me & I don't feel good about it at all. I want to be able to take care of myself.

Begging for money again $1,079, that's how much the car fix hit me for. I had to do a financing service thing to make the payment. That has bought me a little time, that was still a $220 drop that will put me in the negative. I started a Gofundme for lack of any better ideas: gofund.me/c7d193a0b

Life making sure I know I'm perma-screwed. This fell off the car...pretty sure it's part of one of the brakes? They've been needing to be replaced and it's getting pretty grindy sounding, but I haven't had the money to fix anything. Welp.

I got what I needed, thank you for the help and retweets and all that. I'm just tired of this circular bullshit though. I'm tired of this job, I'm tired of life. I'm just violently angry lately. Feels like a slow collapse to everything and I'm going nowhere real fast.

I've got to overdraft to pay the rest of July's rent tomorrow. I will not be able to pay the first of August's rent at all because of that. They also just raised my rent. I need to set something up with someone to where I can borrow a bit over $520 just so I can overdraft again to pay rent.

Pay bills or buy food, the American Conundrum. Hard mode: barely have enough to pay the bills but they're overdue. Just want to thank my boss, once more, for taking away that bonus money. Really feeling that loss. Mm-mm good.

I sure hope whoever was paid to redesign my bank's website kill themselves. Just a big messy horrible death. God damn. I just want to be able to tell if I'm going to overdraft today or not, but no, now I get an eyesore of a piece of shit site with fifty fucking options I don't want.

I'm in a big enough financial bind right now that I'm having trouble even doing the money Jenga in my head to make it work. I can't pay the first half of July's rent because I'm broke. No gas money, no food money. Just out. 2nd half of June's rent ate my check today and so I'm just sitting here.
