Tests

I believe that everything that happens in life is a test of all our strengths and weaknesses. I'm no different, just 3 days before our move, our car decides to go down for the count leaking profusely. If it weren't for our mom and dad we would be screwed, so a huge thanks goes out to them. We took the car to be looked at and the cause of our problem is a cracked something something, I'm mechanically retarded when it comes this stuff. The final cost with parts, labor, and whatever else is $1200.00. On top of that, since every penny counts now, I can't miss work so we decided to rent a car for a few days to help. Plus, we need a car for the move so it just made sense. Thanks to the bear for coming up with that one and for the brother for helping us out with this. The bear expects me to be the level headed one all the time, and sure I can oblige most the time, but this has totally freaked me out. Granted I'm way better now and all I have to do is some juggling with finances, but I want to be moved before I even attempt to figure this out. I'm not stressed like he is and nor will I be. I am an optimist when it comes to these sort of things. But after hearing him go off yesterday has done a number on me which freaked him out more. I ask him what I can say to make it better, of course there is nothing that can make it better except for getting everything paid off. But that takes time and we have nothing but time right now. I could tell him not to stress or freak out but that won't work, it never does. All I can do is tell him that it will be alright and that I will juggle the finances around to make this work. It's hard to be human and the level headed one all the time. I do need my time to freak the fuck out so I can get it all out of my system and go back to being the optimist that makes me ME.
