if its not one thing, its another

we went and looked at the apartment in Mt. Prospect lastnight, not far from Des Plaines but a good 20/30 min drive from Taranis' work. We told the lady we'd like to have it but we're still looking, its not ready yet.

I found us another place today that's in Addison, not even a mile or so from Taranis' work. Nicer place and bigger, closer to his work and less money monthly. We go for a viewing and to talk to the landlord on Tuesday. They are doing some remodeling so it'll be available in a few weeks which gives us more time to save up the money.

Which we definatly need now that my truck is misbehaving. Damn fucking thing died on me today when I got back from running errands. Thankfully in our driveway. Restarted it and no service lights were on so i figured it was the weather seeing as how it always has issues with the antilock brakes in the wet weather. Well, on my way to Express the damn thing died in an intersection, got it restarted and it was shaking badly and the check guages & the check engine lights were on afterwards. Sigh. Got to express and just the check engine light was on. Did my thing there, picked up my assignment for this week (3 days but better than no days) and started back towards the house. The damn check engine light was still on AND it was sputtering even worse. I took it to my mechanic and there is an oxygen sensor which has gone bad. Ontop of the fuel sensor going out last year I guarantee you that's why i've been having such horrible gas mileage. Anyways, I have to use 145 of our savings to get it fixed on saturday.

damn mother fucking stupid ass blazer. as soon as we're settled in our new place and i have another permanent job i am trading that blasted thing in for something else.
