The Infiniti, however, is not. Stephanie had an accident on the way home, and the end result is a crushed light and warped panel that makes it hard to open the door. It's a ten year old car. The chances of it being totaled are pretty high, I think. We may get enough to buy a used car with the payout.
I've already had one vehicle totaled in January. I don't need to lose this one.
My emergency backup Mazda was out of commission for two days last week from a dead battery. I've done the bus thing, and I'm not happy to go back to that life, but I may give in. I already calculated that whenever gas is more than $2.47 a gallon, the bus is cheaper. It's been more than a buck above that.
Sadly, I won't need to take the bus but four days a week, and it's not worth buying a monthly pass for just shy of $100 a month, so I'll be juggling tickets that have to be validated to get me to work. Naturally, the place where Stephanie drops me off downtown doesn't have working validators.
Is this what adulthood is all about, living with these inconveniences? Putting up with daily hassles and problems, and not complaining about it? Well, since I blog, I don't think I qualify as a non-complainer. It seems like there could be an easier or more reliable way to do things, but these things (like maintenance of ticket validators) isn't economical because most of the time you'd pay an employee to look for problems that aren't there.
I'm finding it difficult to cope with everything. I'm probably falling into depression again. I'm tired all the time lately. Unless someone replaced my coffee with decaf, I don't know what's going on with me.
