Okay, I'm just about at the end of my rope here. I don't know what diety I pi*sed off, Lord knows I've tried my best not to, but I repent, here and now. Whatever is going on here just hasta stop, period. It's pretty much eating me alive. And the way things are going, there looks to be no end in sight, least of all in the coming year. I mean, this sucks, totally. To everyone who has been, or chooses to be, understanding, helpful, all the things one might hope for, kudos to you, and may you live long enough to hold your grandchildren, but not long enough to completely lose your mind. The place charged with diagnosing and repairing my currently-lame solitary mode of transportation has an obvious, intense desire to get paid for all their toil, rightfully so, even though I have not gone so far as to actually approve any repairs yet, I da*ned near can't. And God knows I've probably burned more bridges and made more enemies than I'm actually aware of. I'm trying to put things right, okay?! Work with me here.
