M is for Mystified

I am often reminded of how when you put your need into the universe it will be given to you. I was forcibly reminded on Sat. The man's truck had had brake problems two weeks before, which involved a 80 dollar repair turning into a 300 repair. Now realise, money is THE stress button for me. I hate being surprised with spending, even if I want whatever it is. While we were in for the brakes, they said that the ball joints were really loose and should be fixed. Not being my actual vehicle, I decided to let him take care of it later.
He wouldn't. He said I was being pesty. And that it would be ok.
Fast forward to two weeks later and his truck not working. I ask around and am told fix probably cost between 2-300. I don't actually know what is going on with the truck though. The fix ends up costing...wait for it...

700 dollars. no shit. I was basically wigging the hell out. I had my first jam session with this girl I know, and I almost blew it off I was so upset. I get there after a mediocre fight with the man, and not an hour later the phone rings.
"So my brother just called, and he hadn't checked his mail in three weeks, and there was a check for me from the city for $870."
Obviously someone up there just likes to see me sweat. haha.

insane. but thanks.
