THE PLAN:
- Either score a job as an SA or get a second one
- Save lotsa cash over this coming school year
- Get my surgery early next summer
- Recover
- Run off to the mountains for however much time I have left
- Live it up.

I have a lot of plans this coming school year now that I have a car and a steady job. They also include a ticket to the Halloween Voodoo concert fest in New Orleans, but that's about as flexible as everything else I do (which is to say, very).

I don't have a lot of money right now, but I think with the new year I'll be able to change that. And then I'm gonna take some road trips, because that, ladies and gentlemen, is what cars are for.

So, I'm actually working this week.

I'm on duty in three different locations for the next three days, starting tonight. I also have several red-eye desk shifts that will probably lend themselves to late-night LJ shenanigans. I'm also trying to convince my insurance company to replace my ultra-cracked windshield.

On a similar note, I'm working all the way up till my birthday, after which I will be legally able to do what I've been doing since I was 14. I'm heading home for said celebration, which bums out my friends here because they'll have to wait for me to come back to start supplying. LOL crime.

I was awake for almost all of last night, so I was downright shocked to realize that when they say 'shortest night of the year', they mean shortest night of the year. I pulled aside my blinds at 5:30 to find the morning well and truly begun. Ew.

Also, Criminal Minds gets more epic with each season, which is in direct relation to Hotch's evolving man!pain and Reid's ever-changing haircut.

That is all.

Yesterday, my passenger car door decided that it was going to fling itself off it's track so, no matter how I abused or pleaded with it, it would not roll up all the way. I fought with it until dusk but finally taped a bag over the gaping window and left it for the night.

The next morning I got up at 6AM to pry off the inside door, wrestle the window back on track, and then spend an entire hour figuring out how to get the damn inside door back the way it was. Finally, I think the God of Cars took pity on me, because it lunged out of my hands and threw itself back into place.

By then, I was quite literally dripping with sweat, to the point where I couldn't wear my glasses because I couldn't effing see out of them.

I then locked up my now-secure vehicle, took a long, cold shower, and went back to sleep until 3PM.

Also, I have an entire bottle of American Honey calling my name, later. I call today a win.

THE CAR IS FIXED!!!! AND I FIXED IT!!!

Let's all take this moment to glory in that which is my father, the finance behind this entire fiasco and the voice on the phone talking me down from the ledge time and again.

<3 YOU, PADRE

My Dad super-shipped the required part to me and I installed it with a minimum of pain and a maximum of swearing and, like magic, it turned over on the first try.

I then drove it around town for a victory lap and did not stall, once. I did squeal the tires, but frankly I prefer that to hitting the asshole who nudges up on my back bumper when we're stopped on a hill. Even if it would be satisfying...

And in related news, the official name for my first car is Don Juan de Marco the Red, aka Red Marco. Red for short, MARCO! if I've lost him in a parking lot, and STELLAAAA!!! if he's having gender identity issues.

And Marco is fixed none-too-soon, as I am trekking home next weekend for my sister's graduation (?!). Also, I'm getting my first tattoo.

( Yeah... )

So, yeah. Prince of Persia tonight. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
