Here we go. This is the explosion that is my life.
At the beginning of the month, I moved. I was excited about that, because I was moving into a nice house with some good friends. I had been dating a girl, not exclusively though, as I was just recovering from heartbreak. Which she knew at the outset. I had just gotten my Tempo out of the shop, which was also a good bonus. And I had just been promoted to manager of my own store, which is on the other side of Columbus, about a 45 minute drive, which I don't mind.
Blow 1: The car commits hari-kari on the way into work. I get to the next exit looking like a nimbus cloud just decided to travel on the freeway. Stacey, the girl I am dating, offers me use of her car while mine is getting repaired. Disappointing, but survivable.
Blow 2: No more than a week later, Stacey hooks back up with her ex. She tells me I can still use her car til mine gets repaired, and she's still planning to celebrate my birthday with me.
Blow 3: She changes her mind. No car anymore. She tells me this on the phone while I'm at work. My father steps in and saves me at the last minute, letting me borrow his LTD. Upsetting.
Blow 4: My best friend Tiffany fails to reply to my calls or e-mails, when I most need to talk to her. Very upsetting.
Blow 5: Stacey ceases talking to me, becoming quite bitter and evil in the process, backstabbing me by blabbing my secrets all around our friends. Extremely upsetting.
Blow 6: The LTD is guzzling gas like I guzzle Bailey's Irish Cream. My money depletes, leaving nothing for the repair of my car.
Blow 7: My employee at my store starts school. I no longer have days off.
Between the burnout and the hurt feelings and the worry, I'm not sure what's getting to me more. I have a few friends that are helping me keep together, otherwise I'd have fallen apart by now.
***UPDATE***
Had coffee with Tiffany. Not sure what it is about her that seems to reinforce me when I feel my foundation's cracking, but she did it again. Totally healed, and coming back with a vengeance!

I know how it is dude, and I'm glad to see that a friend stepped in to help you through it. I hope things continue to get better. Just...don't worry, about a thing, 'cause every little thing, is gonna be alright.
Thanks for the compliment on my set! I'm glad you liked it!
