If it weren't for bad luck...
I'd have no luck at all!

It could be worse. It could be a blown engine, which would set me back about $3500. Instead it's a blown head gasket, which will set me back $1300-$1400. Judy is faxing me a written estimate so that I can apply to the Trust for help. I sure as heck won't be finding that kind of money on my own, not when I only clear about $250 a week.

Time to dig out the bus schedule, since I'm going to be bussing it for the rest of the week, minimum.
