Rough Year!

I am so stressed right now...nothing seems to be going good for me this past year, with the exception of getting engaged, and so much other stuff has been going on that I don't even have time to remember that I"m engaged...sad I know :( .

But anyway, I'll tell my year long story :main_rolleyes: ....

Last year in February I got in my first wreck ever (take in mind I'm 20). It was my fault, no doubt, and I was okay with it, figured heck...I got it out of my system and now all will be okay....YEA RIGHT!!! After waiting about a month to get it fixed and paying my $500 thing (forget the name of it, but when insurance covers anything over the 500) I got it out and was happy to be done with it, and after paying my nearly $300 ticket...all while in college and with a low paying part time job might I add. But after that, a week later, me and my now fiancee were moving into an apartment together (granted we are getting some help from my stepdad to pay for rent), and while taking the half hour drive on the interstate to get to the apartment to drop of a car load of stuff I hit a F#@%*&G COUCH!! ON the freakin interstate! Luckily neither of us were hurt, unlike the other 8 or so that hit it behind us and were sent to the hospital! But that just ruined it for me, I had just picked my car up from getting fixed for the first wreck and now it was back in the shop and another $500 had to come out my empty pocket! And on top of that my insurance considered it 100% my fault, so my insurance went up to nearly $300 from half that. I luckily switched to another company and got it down to $210 a month.

Well, all was going well...in July I got engaged, school was tough, but I did better than I ever thought I would have. Then on December 1st I was driving home on a back road through a small town and got clocked going 55 in a 35 (the speed limit fricking changed and I didn't know it!) And of course there was a cop sitting right there to pull me over....so that ticket was $180, right at Christmas! AHHHH! So I paid that, luckily, and now I am waiting for my insurance to renew in a few months and pray to God that they don't drop me for having like 4 violations in less than a year!

And tonight, after having an arguement with my stepdad at dinner (he just says things that I can't stand sometimes :main_angry: ), me and my fiancee left to go home, granted this is his birthday too, I think I ruined it for him, I feel so horrible for that too. But on the way home as we were about 2 minutes from home on a narrow two way road, I was about to go past a car, which is an everyday occurence, no biggy right...well there happened to be BLEEPING garbage can sticking out a little on the road, and since I was trying to scoot to the side of the road so I wouldn't hit the other car I hit the garbage can! Luckily it only took of my passenger mirror!! But GOODNESS! Why?! I have had zero luck with this car...I am so stressed right now and don't know how I am going to pay for it, but luckily it's not required by law to have that mirror, so I have time to work up money, and I'll be getting a school refund check soon, but that's only going to cover most of my gecko costs :p and then the rest isn't much, but enough to pay for the darned mirror!

Thanks for reading...sorry it was so long, I congratulate anyone who has taken the time to read it all...I've just been so stressed about everything and the mirror just set me off, and it ruined my fiancees birthday, I feel absolutely horrible :bigcry: ...one day life will be better...right?

Oh, Kristin. Wow...
If I didn't know better, I'd swear that car has a personal vandetta.
Take a deep breath, Sweetie, and know that this too shall pass.

Be Blessed!

If it will make you feel better, I have had 3 reptiles die in a week so far this year. First J My very 1st leopard gecko I held passed away, a couple days later Zee passed away leapard gecko I bought when I got J, then Willy a Reeves Turtle that I got 8 years ago as a rescue passed away the day after Zee did. So Jan 14,19 and the 20th. Needless to say I was very down but I bounced back up nicely ;).

Thanks everyone! I feel a little better now, now that I've had a couple days to let it sink in and realize that it's not that bad...yet! Of course I have to wait for my insurance to renew before they realize I got a ticket, and then they will either drop me or raise my rates ridiculously....I just don't want to think about that yet.

Ccrashca069, sorry to hear about your 3 losses. I can't imagine what it'd be like to lose 3 animals you love in such a short time. But at least you said you bounced back :) .

I'm in the process of bouncing back...I dont' have much choice now that school is back in and I have to get through this semester regardless of what happens in my outside of school life.

Thanks everyone again! I appreciate it!

Oh, and T&KBrouse, I agree completely! I really am looking into getting another car this summer :main_yes: .
