860.

I don't know if I talked about this a few days ago I think it was kind of luck that I mean it happened so fast and got it taken care of so fast I didn't think about sharing it.

But I had car trouble last Friday.

What had happened is that the battery light came on on my car,

realized it was the fact that the generator or the alternator was not

charging the battery on the car, and so for some reason it was running well that night

when I came home, but then I went out just before work to get me a nice ice coffee because it was hot out and it was getting worse and finally as I was just pulling into my driveway which

around the block from the coffee place the alternator in my car just wore out

so I had to pay out more money to fix it I didn't pay out as much as because the guy that fixed my car, Alex, this good guy, he gave me a really low price and he also did a lot of things that were over and beyond, you know, when you have a mechanic that has things beyond, you know, what you tell them to do and they do it for a good good price you love the person you hang on to that person you don't want to let go of that person

but the thing that really sucks about things like this, you know, anything from medical

expenses that come on to you all of a sudden or you know, Liam needs a teeth cleaning at

the dentist and I got to pay a co pay or, you know, any of those things.

You start seeing your budget just slip through your fingers.

I wasn't planning on this expenditure. Now what am I going to do? How am I going to

rob Peter to pay Paul? How am I going to keep up with the bills? Just doesn't happen. You have to pay and pay and pay and pay.

It just seems to be everything now.
