beloved,

i've been unable to stir in the right direction. money is always a worry. lately i accidentally crashed my computer and lost all my personal data. i was, at the very least, able to restore the computer to working conditions. similarly, my car failed the smog check and i had to mail in my registration renewal without the smog certification. today, i had father help me change the spark plugs and the air filter. my car had no oil and i took it to a mechanic. He changed the oil filter, oxygen sensor, and restored the maintenance required alert light back to green. i borrowed my aunt's crx but i do not know how to drive a manual transmission vehicle. father drove us back home. and now i have to drive it back somehow. i still, however, have to pass the smog check. the end.
