Why do I beat myself up so much over temporary situations?
I finally got my car back from the shop after four days. What was supposed to be a $365 job after discount inflated to $585 after discount. I only had $540 something in my bank account so I had to use my credit card to fill the gap. Its just over a week till payday and the smog check and alignment I was hoping to get done by this weekend will have to wait till next weekend. All of the options I once had available to me were just stripped away.
So if everything is going to be okay in eight days why am I so depressed now? I collapsed on my bed earlier and just lay there for over three hours unable to do anything. I even called in to work to tell them I couldn't make it. It sucked so hard coming home to tell my wife that my project car just drained all of our funds. I thought I had this all planned out but reality had other plans. Once again I get to play the waiting game.
