Just thought I would post here instead of exploding. It has been a hard week. Took a test at school and I guess that was Cynthia... wont know how we did until next week. Got the insurance payoff for the car and tomorrow I am going with my AA sponser to find a new one. My problem with that is I dont remember how I bought the last car so I dont know how to go about paying for the one we get tomorrow. Took a recertification test at work and failed it. First time in 7 years I did not pass on the first try. Now I have to do special retraining and then retest. OMG what next. Life is very stressful and I just honestly want to hide till it all blows over. Not sure when that is but that is how I feel. I think Denise was that one that did all the car stuff last time. I honestly hope she will step up tomorrow and take care of it again cuase it is freaking me out. I have a hard time with dealing with small amounts of money like 100 or 200$ but to deal with 3 or 4000$ OMG!!!!! What a trigger. And then I have to start work on a 10 page paper for school that is due in 4 weeks. I dont even know where to start.

Any way enough whining. Thanks for listening.

Diana

sounds like things are really overwhelming right now. I hear you on the wanting to hide till it all blows over.

try and breathe. just for a couple of minutes. do something fun for yourself--whatever that is for you. A bit of reading a fun book or magazine, dig in the dirt, a walk, a hot fudge sundae, just a little something for you.

we just finished a writing course. one of the exercises we did was list making---a list of all the topics we could think of. Of course this was mostly fiction writing and i don't know what youre topic or course is----but listing then picking a topic then just writing ideas of anything to do with the topic. we like writing it all on post-its and putting them on the wall and then moving them around. just some thoughts

your sponsor will be with you for the car picking out and maybe if you find one, for buying. my foster son did the checking of my car before i bought it. i saw it first then he did the test driving and the barganing. he knows cars so it helped.

thinking of you as you are walking thru all this stuff
Thanks for this!

just checking in. trying to stay me but it is hard. i want to hide so much. went car shopping today and did not find one so i have the rental one more day. ugh. I am hoping that a call in the morning will yeild a car but there are no garuntees. My head is spining and telling me i am a bad person for having a rental for 2 weeks. i know it is the money it is costing that is doing me in but i have to get to work and school. i dread even going to work and the urge to call in and stay in bed is very strong. and i have voices telling me to spend money on dumb things that i dont need right now. things like computer games and velvet posters and dumb stuff. i can afford those things till the car is dealt with. i am losing the battle of my mind. work is hard as i still have to retrain and retest. and i have no idea what to do for my class paper. ive been at the computer for hours now and dont know what i have accomplished. now i am just rambling.
thanks for listening

((((((((((((((((((((DianasClan))))))))))))))))) Thanks for checking in with us. I hope you find a car soon. Don't worry about how long it is taking. Better to take a few extra days then to make a snap decision on something like that.

When I am barely holding things together and something happens, it can really tip my cart over. It seems like it takes longer to regroup during those times. I hope you feel better soon. Please take gentle care.

This is what my AA sponser said today. I made a call to my car dealer and he told me he got a saturn in. it had 180,000 miles on it. was a 1993 and in good shape. But it had a small problem. the air bag light would not go out. When I heard that i was like OMG here we go again with the light thing. The car that wreaked had a ABS break light that would not reset.

Well I called him back and asked if he had any cars that fit the 3000-4000 price range. he said he had a camry but it was 4990. he said we could talk deal on it so we went in to the lot.

So we get to the lot and he has this really nice toyota camry in red. it has 130000 and is a 1997. all the lights work and so does the A/C and it comes with a hidden CS player too. We called for the insurance and for full coverage of comp/ collision, uninsured moterist, and rental coverage it will cost me less per year then the policy on the old car that only had comp/ collision and liability. when the insurance girl said that iwas like OMG!!!

We will post a pic of the car asap.

Thanks to all,
Diana
