Did a lot of walking today. I dropped my car off at Firestone so that they could diagnose the suspension issues I’ve been having ever since I hit a huge pothole of sorts over a year ago, and walked back home. Later in the day, I walked to my parents’ house. All in all, a little over 3 miles of walking. The 100 degree weather didn’t make it very pleasant, though.

Finding out that I’ve got two about-to-explode bald tires and two brakes so worn it’s time to replace them, in addition to the suspension damage didn’t help lift my spirits. That’s some $600 (not including the suspension) of important repair work, and I’ve got literally no money left anymore.

I might have a six-month contract coming up. If that works out, then I just have to survive until then. And surviving until then is going to be tough, and impossible without plunging my credit even further down the hole (because I’ve crunched all the numbers, and the only way I can make it is by paying only my mortgage and utilities…)

Everything has been piles of shit since I moved to Orlando, and I cannot wait to get the hell out of here.
