when it rains, it pours

weirderwestlast week my apartment's fridge broke down. last weekend (read: yesterday) my car broke down. i had it towed in the pouring autumn-onset rain to the mechanic who replaced my stolen catalytic converter (which happened 2! months ago!) and left it there. the mechanic called today to let me know it's internal damage in my transmission, and i don't have a quote in hand yet but i just have a hunch it'll be Too Damn Expensive to justify.
my landlord came and looked at the fridge, and the verdict is that it's getting replaced, but all my food is trashed (i'm both more and less upset about this than i thought i'd be), and also it might take a week or two to get the new one. he's getting me a mini-fridge in the meantime, but oof. i'm having one delivery meal a day, which still feels wasteful but i don't really have options at the moment.
i seem to alternate between periods of immense bad luck and periods of fairly good fortune, but it's Always Something. i'm worried about the car repair price, i'm worried anout having enough money left over to get my tattoo in early october, i'm worried that my debt never seems to shrink, only grow - even with this new job where i'm making more money than i ever have in my life and even though i'm way more money-responsible than both of my parents combined (it's the anxiety)
but also, a small silver lining: if it really is too expensive to fix, maybe i'll get a scooter or something... more realistic is probably an e-bike, but a girl can dream.
