The issues of life, cars, school, traffic, etc.
This has been one of those days (This week doesn't look too good either). I wish I could have posted yesterday. Then again, maybe not. I don't think anyone would've wanted to read it. I was crying buckets.
I have not being feeling too well lately. Of course, it's close to the month time (pms) so I am imaging all kinds of things. Pregnant?????!!!!!!!!!!............ I don't know yet. The funny thing is that I seem to have this problem a lot. Maybe because I want to be pregnant. Hmmmm. Anyway, I was feeling sorry for myself. I didn't know how I was going to make it to class either. I was feeling sick and I was emotional. I hate that. I just can't seem to help it though. The tears just keep coming. I know, you're probably thinking "Get a life for goodness sakes." I'm trying, but I just don't know how. I've got some issues.
David is getting paid through the navy to go to school and right now it seems impossible for both of us to go to school and get degrees (or whatever we are going to do). I just can't see the big picture. I want to see the picture but there seems to be some things in the way.
Today, David realized that he needed a smog check on his car. (Big problem!) Anyway, I (David is working at home, so he asked me to do this favor :) went to take it to one of those smog check places. About a half an hour later, they guy told me that the computer in the car(what?) has a problem and that made it so the car didn't pass. So now what? I called David and told him the bad news. So we ended up leaving it there for them to repair the problem. And hopefully tomorrow sometime it will pass the test. The picture above is what his car engine looks like. (Hope you can see it ok.) Anyway, it is a complicated engine and it tends to be expensive whenever it needs to be fixed.
It's a little upsetting because we always take it for granted that we have 2 cars. I especially have a hard time adjusting to things like this. Like tomorrow, I have to take David to school(for his classes) and basically stay there until after my class gets out at 1:30pm. Bummer. Please help me God.
I thought I could just drop him off in the morning but, the traffic is so bad on I 5(Interstate 5) it would be pointless to drop him off and then turn around and come back about 2 hours later. Oh, and parking at school is the pits.
Does anybody have any thing to input? I like getting comments. :-)

I just took my car (actually it's a truck) in to get an oil change which I can't even afford and was told I needed a new battery too or else I would need to replace the engine and starter soon. Thankfully it hasn't been too cold here in South Dakota.
Speaking of South Dakota and traffic.....there isn't much to speak of unless were referring to the racoons and jackrabbits that tend to "traffic" in so many places!

first of all to Timmy, there is no way a bad battery could ever wreck the engine. It might not turn the starter but the engine would be fine. The starter would just turn, but slowly. And Becky, it sounds like the smog shop is trying to sell you an expensive part. I have never heard of the computer(ECU)causing a car to fail a smog test. If it was bad, the car wouldn't start. I would take it to another shop. The ECU controls the ignition timing and monitors how much air enters the engine. It is possible that it is the air flow meter. They can go bad and cause a car to fail smog. It sounds like some people are trying to sell you stuff you don't need. Also, If it makes you feel any better, I don't have a job or money or girlfriend or car with working brakes or career plan. I have no clue what I am going to do. Hmmm..suddenly I feel depressed. Anyhow hope things get better soon and I'll pray for you.
