I can’t believe this. I went out to go to work, and saw my car: it had been struck while parked, and basically totaled. No note, no nothing. Half the whole front end is tore off, fluids leaking, totaled. A 1998 Metro. And though I have insurance, it is just liability…somebody said it might pay something under the uninsured motorist clause, but I can’t reach them until Monday. Even so, it would probably be maybe $1,000 at most, given how old the car is, and the miles. But I doubt the policy covers anything.

So I got a police report. I’ll probably have it towed away tomorrow for parts. They were able to determine by the debris that it was a Toyota Tacoma that hit us, 2004, but sadly, they didn’t find a VIN on anything, and there were no witnesses.

The bad part is I now have no way to work…and no savings, and really, really bad credit and no way to really afford a car payment. In the short term, I can change my work hours…for a while, I hop…but I don’t know what will happen. If I lose this job, I lose my health insurance, and so does my mate…and it is not a good time to lose a job.

I will call my parents…I am so afraid to, though, I mean, at my age, I feel like I should have OK credit and all that, it makes me feel like some sort of failure, eldest son, smart and full of promise and…

My mind is just a scramble right now. I was gonna go to a local furry meet for the first time (those people who dress up like goofy animals and such) but as it meets way out at this mall, there is no public transportation there…I guess that is pretty minor, but still, I guess it reminds of all the limits now, without a car.

I guess I am still alive, and at least was not in an accident that involved injury.

But I just feel numb. I had just spent $400 fixing the car, and another $1,000 on the insurnace mess issue….and am beyond flat broke, with garnished wages for the next three months…this is not seem like the recipe for car shopping, somehow.

Anyway, I am going to keep a level head, and not go out and get drunk, or jump in front of a train, or anything like that….

But damn….I seem to have bad luck.

In a state of numb shock on day 17...
