February--Not making enough money working on-call to pay bills. SD walks back into my life after 10 months of silence because he saw me out with another guy.
March--Have to move; lied to about job transfer.
April--No work; no paycheck; friends act like I died because I moved an hour away.
May--New job; SD walks out on friendship, AGAIN!, due to too much unintentional drama over an invite to the ballet.
June--Tuition payment made online doesn't go through so kicked out of classes; no late registration offered.
July--Flooding in town; bitten by a spider; mild depression.
August--Mouse in storage unit; mildew on all wood furniture; box of out-of-print books destroyed by mildew caused by mouse urine; window pane of window in new apartment falls out first morning; crack in foundation causes small pond to form in new apartment hallway; have to re-apply for school 3 days before semester starts and computer system won't let me register for classes; school postponed until January.
To celebrate the end of August, tonight the front axle of my 14 month-old car appears to have broken for no reason, jerking my car into the light pole I was driving past. I was shifting into second gear, felt the wheel jerk hard to the left at the same time I heard a sound like a tire blowing. The car stalled because I was in gear with no gas and stopped. I got out to check the tire and my door was a bit jammed. Got out and saw this.
There are three months left of this year and part of me wants to go into my walk-in closet, shut the door and not come out until January.
I could really use something wonderful and positive to happen in my life because soon I may start crying in public instead of confining the tears to the shower.
Oh my gosh, Emily! I am so sorry to hear that. And here I am complaining about all the little inconvenience in my New York life. At least the job is working out so far. Take deep breath and take things one step at a time. God doesn't give us trials that we cannot handle. So all of these will come to pass. Be strong, my friend.
