Back to the grind... heavily this time.[Update]

*wobbles about and smiles at* It's a header. What did you expect some grand thing to know?
Okay... SO! A few things happened since the last update.only a few know that these things happened so I'll try and keep this brief. Though dont mind my belly while it continues to get stuffed with food while I eat. Hehe.
First off, the car. Its been having problems as of late. First the alternator decided to die on me and I wound up being without a car for several days, trying to also scramble to get to my jobs (which I'll explain next) and also paying for the part I needed the most. The snag I hit with it until it was fixed by my roommates friend, was the cost of labor. Both repair shops and something like pep boys was trying to charge me around 240-300 dollars to just replace the part. Mind you, I bought the part myself. So all that needed to be done was to replace it with the bad one. Apparently because of how the car is designed, in order to get to the alternator, you had to take away the steering wheel, the drivers side tire and some other part -I forget after those two ^^;- in order to just get to the alternator. Luckily the guy that I mentioned who did the replacement, was kind enough to only want what I could give for the labor, which was 100 dollars at the time. So that dreadful thing is done and the car runs fine now.
Unfortunately now, it has two other very small problems. One is the brakes needs to be replaced. The problem, I don't have the tools. Right now I almost have all the tools I need because unfortunately, the car didn't have the most basic of tool that every car should have to even replace a tire. The lug wrench. Now I find out after tinkering with the tire and looking at the brakes, I don't have the proper tool to unhook the brakes from the wheel and the other tool in order to depressurize it so I can install the new brakes. I have to wait on that right now until I can get my paycheck in order to solve that dilemma. The side effect to this, EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME I SHOULD JUST RENT THE TOOLS!! *pinches in-between my eyes in frustration* Sure its nice to rent it just for the occasion. Though my thing is this; why rent it for the amount they'll charge you, when you can just BUY THE DAMN TOOL AND HAVE IT FOREVER!? It makes no sense to rent it when technically I would need the tools myself to have it for future needs. I keep hearing this from friends at work to my even my roommate. That concept of renting a tool just... boggles my mind to no end.
The other thing that needs to be done with the car is that it needs a new tire. Due to it getting abused so much since I like to drive how I drive -thanks mom by the way :3- I got told after the alternator was fixed, that it now has a bubble in the tire. Because of this, I now also have to buy a new one so I can get it road worthy again. I'm still running off my spare for over a week to two weeks now and that's not recommended at all. I'm hoping to see some money this coming Saturday once I get my paychecks on Thursday and Friday.
Speaking of paychecks, yes that is plural by the way. I now have a second job for this summer. The reason: all the bills that hit me hard this year. The problems with the car only solidified that fact that I needed more income coming in. So I now work two jobs. I'm going to be exhausted almost every time I come home when I work both jobs. At least when I have off from one place, I get to rest and also play a little in the process and mingle with you all. I am truly sorry to all those I've been ignoring and dropping out of contact lately. My schedule has just only gotten busier as the summer has started to pick up and both jobs needing me even more. So while I will still be online as much as I possibly can for you all that wants to be with me, I may be going in and out of talking as I'll probably be either taking time to myself or getting caught up on rest.
That's about it really. At this point in time, all I have left to do is buy a few more tools, get the tire bought and replaced and get my dog fixed with a much needed trim and file for her. After that the money can start going into my account and staying there for needs of future events to happen. As for me, I'm gonna try and stuff myself full and maybe post something about it as I'm starting to get the urge back again to try and gain weight for realsies. Thanks for hearing me out. Just figured I'd get this off my chest and also update you all. Hope your summer goes wonderful and if you ever want a fat dragon or husky to play with or just keep you company, come to me. I'll be your pillow of comfort and needs.
