Why Me?

Current mood: sad bear depressed
Why does everything bad happen to a person all at once and at the times when one is less prepared to deal with them? Since I quit working at the one store because of that bonehead the owner made manager, I still haven't found a second job, so I have no money. Then I had a tooth abcess, and I had to borrow money from dad to get it pulled. Now the brakes on my car died (I've got metal grinding). I can't get a new car because I don't have income and I need to find out if the mechanic I go to will take payments so I don't kill myself driving to town. Wheeee!

To make matters worse, I found a puppy by the railroad tracks a week ago Friday. I spent a couple of hours that night trying to find someone looking for a dog and we put up a sign at the post office the very next morning. Marcus got attached right away. I stayed detached until about Tuesday night. I figured after all that time, nobody was going to claim it. Skippy really seemed to like having a little buddy around since he's been kind of lonely since we lost Ursa. I was just getting used to the idea of him being around and WHAM! -- the stupid woman who owned him called on Wednesday. She wasn't even aware that he was missing for FIVE days. I so didn't want to give him back to such an uncaring person, but he wasn't mine to keep. Of course, she brought her kids with her to pick him up and she wouldn't accept Marcus' offer to buy him from her. I was a wreck. Marcus is really torn up, too. He keeps talking about kidnapping the dog. *sigh* The saddest thing is the dog's name was Bear. Ursa's name meant bear, too. IT'S NOT FAIR!


SKIPPY AND THE PUPPY


I applied at the Cinema Grill for a server position. The job would be perfect--Friday, Saturday and Sundays only. That's probably why I won't hear back. A friend at school gave me a job lead for some home data entry. That would be even better!

Our house is for sale. I can't wait to move back to town. This time I'm so ready to leave. I used to like living out here, but since out crappy neighbors moved in, I hate it.
