I think I'm cursed. I know that sounds like I'm being overly dramatic but things as of late have not been going well. As I type this I'm sitting in the middle of the Mojave Desert. I'm not kidding. I wish I were but I'm not.
Lets start from the beginning and do a recap.
Early febuary we learned that our tenets and close friends were ending their lease early and I would have to go back to fixup the house. Not a huge deal as I was expecting to do it anyhow.
Late Febuary shit hit the fan with E.'s parents and they canceled our wedding that was schedualded for September. There is no way this can be good. But it happened and we were doing an ok job at handeling.
Early march I went to the house in Rochester leaveing E. in cali to make the money. The house is much much worse then I thought. To add to the trouble we realize that sence our friend Andrew is comeing to live with us in Cali after the house completeion we really don't have a way to drive back with more then one driver.
The month of march was fraught with little upsets. Not being able to get josh to drive out cause of a test that later got canceled. Not being able to get leise to drive with us cause of his work. The house being one head ache after another. My mother being 2 hours late. Not being able to find a place in Cali for the wedding. Josh throughing out his shoulder My mom getting terribly sick. An old family friend dieing. E. had to fly back to Rochester to drive with us only to get sick on the plain. His family refuseing to let us sell the house on our own His father threatening to hold his tax returns hostage.
Every time something happened Andrew and I looked at eachother and said what next or how could I get worse?
But it just keeps getting worse.
We left for cali on Wednesday of last week. We made it to illinios with out anything terrible happening. The worst part of the first day was some bitch at hotel 6 making us pay for three people And the room being cold. Went to Rhi's a friend of ours in the quad cities. It was great seeing her but she's going through some shit of her own. E. and Andrew now want to find a D&D game to join and I spent most of the time there blowing my noise.Then came NEBRASKA! About four miles away from the boarder going in to with we blew a front tier. We almost went off the road. Nothing was hurt but the tier was very very dead. Three wholes and we were stuck on the side of I80. AAA gave us a tow which was good but we lost about $250 and 6 hours of daylight! Then we crossed Nebraska I'm sorry but that danm state is miserable. About 120 miles from the end E. lost his wallet at a truck stop we didn't realize it till we were 60 miles down the road. Two more hours and 120 miles later it was returned to us by a one armed man. And on our way we went. It was 4am People got snappy and bitch around 8am so we stoped in George Colorado at motel 8 for some shut eye. The hotel was cute and warm and clean which was great. Then on the road we went. Utah takes forever and the black dragon canyon is AMAZING. We got in to vegas around12am Sunday we just kinda sat around. We tried to do wedding stuff but it was Sunday. We went to the strip on Sunday night but Andrew was a bitch. He wouldn't talk and he wouldn't walk with us. In the second casino I asked if he was going to participate? I was just jokeing around but he came back and said that if it was just E or just me there he would be fine but with both of us doing the oh we're having fun banter it only grates on him to be around us. I had to excuse myself to the ladies room so I didn't cry in front of him. We left after that.
Monday was FULL of wedding things. Trying to find a place to have it SUCKED. The places were pretty but the people were rude and didn't have our date available. We had stopped by one plave ( the terrace) the night before to see what it was like. They had a wedding going on so we only peaked our heads in. When I called back Monday morning they told me they were closed at the moment (9:45) but she would check to see if my date was available. She got back on the phone only to say they were closed on Sundays. (but the night before was ..?) I hung up and had my sister call them back. Not only were they open but they set up an appointment to meet with us at 9:55. We went in and asked to talk to someone. We were then ignored for a half hour as she took phone calls. When we finaly asked for a date they told us only the 24th of sept was open. When we asked for a Sunday they had the previous week open. I walked out the door and you could hear here yelling we also have the 9th. That's pretty much how the day went. We did find two places we kinda liked but they don't have the right date open. We're thinking of having a backwards weddinig. Having the party then getting married at midnight, I don't know
Anyhow we had lunch with my sisters and my father. He was hungover really hungover. I had thought he was getting better but no. Then we left around 5pm. Around 10pm the power stearing stopped working the gauges went to red and the the car started over heating. We were in the middle of the Mohave desert. VERY litteraly just out side of Mohave. E. is a great driver. The winds were HIGH and we were pulling the uhal but he kept controle as we coasted in to weight station. So there we were. Its dark and cold and very windy. All I could say was "seriously? Were stuck in the Mohave desert? Does this really happen to people?" We laughed so hard only to keep from crying. E. kept singing "raindrops keep falling on my head" and Andrew kept telling me I was a curse. I think he may be right Any how. We got a tow but only this time the closes town was 20 miles away! $200 2 hours and a very creepy tow truck guy later we were sitting in a hotel room that looks like a every horror movie you have ever seen. NO SHIT. The faucet dripped and there was mold on the tileing. The beds looked almost unmaid and there were cracks in the walls. Andrew was almost ready to break down and only laughed maniacly when we realized there wasn't even a bible in the dresser. And the window was only held in by ducktape! We all slept in our clothes.
So now its today The part we need is hopefully coming but they can't find out if anything else is wrong with it till they put that back on. The only reason we get to get the part today is cause the owner has a doctors appointment in Bakersfield so he can pick it up. So long story short I don't know when we'll be able to leave this roach motel. I did find that if I sit outside and fend off the ants I can steal internet from the neighbor.
Heres the thing I know we'll be ok in the end. We always are and so far no one has gotten hurt. Things could have been worse much worse. We honestly could have died with the lost of stearing or we could have spent the night in a broke down truck on the side of a desert road. The worse thing is our saveings account. That's whats takeing the most damage right now. About $750 with repairs if nothing else is broken other then the serpatine belt and pully. That 750<- is our deposit money for the wedding venue.So even if we want to go with the place we only kinda like we don't have the money to hold the date.
I know things get worse and I know I'm lucky things aren't going even worse. But fuck does this really happen to people? I don't know what I did karma wise to fuck up our luck so much but I want to make a mends. I keep trying to be optimistic but as I'm sitting here typing this all out I just want to cry. I want to ball up cry (I haven't yet)
