I've had it. If something can go wrong, it is. If it goes wrong, it goes wrong VERY costly. I'm just sick of it. 
It started at the start of the year when my $4,500 tax return got trumped by a $7,000 boiler/furnace replacement cost. That already put me $2,500 in debt. At work, my studies keep getting delayed for one reason or another that is completely out of my hands, but since they are my studies I get to step up and take the bullet for them. Then tonight, I'm parking my car in the parking lot of a pizza place where I'm meeting some friends and co-workers. I park my car, then get out and see that the back end is sticking just too far out for me to feel safe leaving it where it was. I get back in, then keep my foot on the brakes as I slowly move forward. Well, outside there was sleet and icy slush where I was walking. My foot slipped and instead of having it on the brakes, it slid over to the gas. 
My car suddenly jolts forward and the front end hits the stone wall right there. It instantly ****s up the front bumper part of the car, and seems to leave the headlights alone. However, this car is a Honda Civic Hybrid (Brand new car purchased last year), so the tiny impact with the wall probably totally ****ed up the entire engine. I was able to drive the car home with the headlights still working, no fluid leaking, and no warning lights on my dashboard. Still, even if it's just that front end part that has to be replaced, I'm looking at $1,200 for the repairs. I don't want to go through insurance since my deductible is $500 anyway, and I've already been in two no-fault accidents in the past three years. I don't see how this one could NOT be claimed my fault even though there's nothing I can do about the slippery conditions. So if I go through insurance, I basiclly lose all ability to drive a car as my rates would probably be shot up into the $700-$900 a month cost, or my policy would be cancelled completely.
I guess my plan now is to take it to a repair shop, have them do an estimate, and if the estimate is less than $2,000 just kiss any financial freedom goodbye and have them repair it. I can't tell if there is any engine compartment damage, but knowing how Hondas are built, if you barely tap the front end of it something expensive will break. I have to take it in to get fixed, but I don't want to. I'm just sick of all this. I'm tired of all the bull**** going on in my life, and the fact that it is a magnitude of tiny little things that keep adding up it's really pissing me off. I might be facing surgery for a torn tendon in my right calf, I stubbed my toe against the bedpost in my bedroom and it ripped off half of my left big toenail. (And that hurts like hell and there is no doubt that it will get ingrown as it grows back in, so I may need to have that "corrected" by a podiatrist), and work right now is more stressful than it's ever been. God I wish the apocalypse would happen.
