The end

[scyllacat]

The car has broken its timing chain or its cam shaft or both, according to the mechanic. He doesn't know which, because it would cost $300 to take the engine apart to find out, and he knows I don't have that money. If it's only the timing chain, it's $500+ and if it's the cam shaft, it's $1000+. I don't have that money, my mother doesn't have that money. I've told my job I can't work there anymore. I don't know what I can do right now.

Well, I can wash my clothes, give my roommates notice that I'm moving out, rewrite my resume and send it to various people... and mope around.

If anyone feels like having anything to do with me, I'm still out here on Panola Road, for the moment.

It's not at all like hope, right now.
