Not getting ahead this month..*sigh*

So, the van has been needing new brakes now since about the end of October. Unfortunately, because of poor finances, we had to wait until this month to make it happen. I was pretty confident this month wouldn't be generous, but it wasn't going to be a squeeze either ..... that was until this morning.

Since lapsedagnostic is home sick, I thought I'd take in his car for an oil change and a check on a small mechanical issue with the blower that circulates the air. While I was there I noticed the safety inspection was about to lapse, so I asked them to get that done as well. It involves checking the lights, blinkers, horn, exhaust ... and the brakes. We need new brakes on his car, and we need them now.

Great, so now both vehicles need brakes *now* and any extra income is shot. Hopefully I'll make all my births this month.

I'm so pissed off - at nothing and no one. Just mad and sad.

*sigh*
