Update on things, I guess:

I got my car back this morning.  The towing guy was nice.  I was greeted by 3 large black lab-ish dogs - one very old and very excited about the pine cone he was showing me.  The man said "You should see his stash on the porch!"  Of course, that put me in a slightly better mood.

My fee was supposed to be $150, but since he didn't have change he only charged $140.  I had no money, so Shaun paid it and I'll just add that to my tab.  I HATE with a flaming passion needing to borrow money, but I guess I'm just glad that someone has my back when I need to.

I told the guy that I wasn't even sure my car would crank and he said that if it wouldn't, he wouldn't charge me to store it until I could get it going.  After a few tries, it did start, but it really needs to be looked at because it is far from reliable right now.  I am not even going to bother driving it until I have it checked out again.  Being stranded is just some bullshit and I'm done with it.

I did call Arby's this morning, but the manager was not in and they aren't expecting him all weekend.  I left a detailed message and I told the lady I was speaking to that he will either call me back or speak to me face to face.  I don't care which, but I am going to talk to that person.

Shadow ended up going home with my mom since I had to work.  It's for the best, as I was at work really late due to getting there so late.  She said that he did throw up and that his back is aching, but the last time I checked on him he was sleeping, which is probably what he needs to be doing.  I guess if he's not feeling better in the next couple of days we will bum a ride to see a doctor.  Hopefully, it is just something that will pass, though.

After work me and Shaun hung out and ate and did nails and watched Netflix.  So, that's what I've been doing.  It's been nice to not be crying or crazy stressed.  It's not like everything is magically all better, though.  I did not make enough on this check to pay my mortgage, so it will just get paid next week.  My car is still broken and I still have a lot of bills due.  Still haven't bought any gifts, either.  Also, my cats have fleas and I feel terrible about it, but there's not a lot I can do at the moment.  I have exhausted my supply of FrontLine, Advantage, and Capstar - none of that has worked.  I need to get some Comfortis, I guess, but they will just have to tough it out for a couple of weeks until I secure the roof over our heads.

... I think my original point was that I have de-stressed some.  I have, but I still have a lot on me and it probably won't take something hugely bad to send me over the edge again.  So, here's hoping that the next couple of weeks will be mostly uneventful.  I really hate it when I'm so on edge that I'm not functional.  That isn't good for anyone.

Well, on that note - I am about to crash out.  I am so extremely tired right now.  I need to rest.  ❤
