Not so fun today

I did some stupid stuff today...
got up too late and walked to the bank, actually BELIEVING that they'd be open past 12 on a saturday! HAH! Nah, I just had a miserable walk. it was too hot! I ended up just buying a Slurpee from 7-11 and walking home. Still, a four mile walk? not too shabby. I could have done worse.
There's some marginally good news. I got my check in the mail, so now any car that I want that's beneath 5 grand, I can buy. Which is why I walked to the bank. But the seller I was interested in hasn't returned my call, so I think I may have missed my chance. But oh well. Life is very inconvenient without a car but it won't kill me.
There have been many extra-long shifts at work lately, ever since one of the guys quit (almost a month ago? sheez!), so I felt really crummy last night and called out. Halfway through my sleep, I woke up unable to breathe, and when I coughed it tasted... HORRIBLE. .. It seems that I had inhaled a small amount of ... vomit? no, that's not good news at all and I'm sorry to inconvenience your stomachs, but that was kind of scary. Acid in my lungs, and when I coughed I felt a retch coming on. I was able to avert it, but it's probably not a good thing...
You see, I have overcome my cough reflex back when I had whooping cough, in high school. But, stumping automated biological functions is not really a good idea, because they're designed to keep you alive while you're unconscious! It's lucky that I woke up... and did something about it before something -really- bad happened.
It's kind of sad that all of roanoke stops on a saturday though. I mean, maybe it's a good thing, that there's at least one metropolitan area in the US that still secludes Saturday and Sunday as days of rest... but it meant that I didn't have a chance to get anything done. *sigh*.
I really want that car... I am positive that if I can talk the guy down to anything beneath 4 thousand, I'll just hand him the cash and drive away. This is starting to occupy that 'burning need' area in my head that before housed my 'find a better job' and is often frequented in other people by 'i really need something to drink' while they've been stranded in a desert for half a week. I don't know how much more of this I can take, but my calls aren't being answered elsewhere x.x *sigh* man, even if we COULD make life at least 'fair', we will never, ever, ever make it 'convenient' >_>
If you read the journal that I replaced with this one, don't worry, the phase has passed, I just needed to purge my system a little. I'm okay, really, I am! ^^
