The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ~Mass Update by Veneer

This is going to be pretty long as there has been a lot going on.
I just wanted to give a quick update for anyone who cares to know.
I don't expect everyone to read this :)

The Good

It's official!! We are going to be moving in a couple weeks :) The reason for this is Wheels' Mother is moving into our current house and kicking us out because, and I QUOTE, "I like it. Don't care about anyone else anymore, it's all about me from now on. Me! Me! Me! Me!"
I'm dead serious. She said that to our faces. I wish I would have recorded it, it makes my stomach turn thinking about it.
Forget that fact that she is screwing over her own Granddaughter by leaving her alone to fend for herself.....
ANYWAY! It IS a good thing we are moving regardless of the circumstances. We will finally be out of her control and able to live in a more relaxed environment. I can put my shit where ever the fuck I want, do whatever the fuck I want and live however the fuck I want!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! HOUSE PARTIES E'RYDAY!!!!!
We also found out that Mother IS NOT RETURNING ANYTIME SOON!!!! WOOOOO!!!!
She was supposed to come out this week but decided not to because of weather! -Thanks the Weather Gods- lol So we get to move in peace!!! O THANK GOD!!!

Also, I am 90% certain I FINALLY landed a job. The last one fell through a few months ago because their trainer was sick or something for, like, months. BUT!!! This new one will be at Portillo's, and it's right across the street from the new house!!!! I can walk there if I need to :D
I talked to the General Manager and he told me that he really wants to hire me, but they had just brought in 5 new employees who need trained for 2 weeks. He told me to come back once I am moved and settled into the new house and a job will be waiting for me :D :D IT WORKED OUT PERFECTLY OMG!!

Lastly the money came in for Wheels' pinball files!!! That was the final thing we needed in order to move into the new house! YAY!!

The Bad

Bad thing is, while the money did come it, it was only half (which was agreed upon), and the other halfwon't be sent until the files are delivered to the guy. He lives in Australia and the files are in Wheels' step father's hands right now. It's scary and a giant pain in the ass, but at least we have half.

Money is going to be very tight. We have to pay first month's rent, down payment and any DP on bills and such too. Plus a moving truck to get all our shit moved. And of course it's the end of the month so all our bills are due, and we're behind on storage which had it's prices jacked up massively at the end of last year.

The Ugly

We would have been fine, we would have made it through this month and the next with the money we had.
But of course, life has to throw it's curveballs at you....
As some of you may know, Wheels' car has not been running for some time now. The transmission is shot and we haven't been able to afford getting it fixed. So we have been using my car.....
Well, on Saturday it started acting up. Bad. Engine was misfiring and the Service Engine Soon light was flashing. It was running on high RPMs and just wouldn't get-up-and-go. It was sluggish and felt like it was going to die at any second. We think it might have been bad gas, not sure. Went in to get it checked and found out one of the calipers was not working at all and the other was completely locked up. We has just changed the brakes and pads last week, so we had to buy new calipers and replace them all over again. The oil also needs changed because it came out looking like chocolate sauce x.x And for good measure we are changing the plugs and wires since it hasn't been done in years.
That's what Wheels is working on right now at the shop. Thank you so much Ed for helping us out <3 <3 <3

So yeah..... we had to drop a ton of unexpected money into my car because we just can't afford to lose it. If it stops running, we are screwed. It has really put us behind..... so now I have to step it up and do what I can to help.
Read up more about this on the next journal, which will be explaining what I plan to do with commissions in the next few weeks.
