A crap couple of weeks But sunshine still exists

I received this Quote Of The Day this morning and it sprung out to me so so relevant for what I've been experiencing lately.

"Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it." Salma Hayek

The past few weeks have been rather rough on me. Rather shit to be exact. Where do I begin?

My car was towed away from my house without me realising that it was towed and not STOLEN. Yes I shed a tear or 2 (more like bucket load) only to realise that the car was stolen by the cops who didn't have the decency to leave me a note... It would have read something like this "Dear pretty young lady, your annoying snooty neighbours decided it was time to make your life more difficult and thought up a reason to do so, so they settled on this reason - there is a school down the road and in the mornings its difficult to get past your house - the 2cm over the pavement was just too much to bear so there, we're getting the cops to take your car"

So this has delayed my attempt to sell the car to my new found stalker - *William. He is obsessed with my car & will stop at nothing to buy it. Good for me I guess, but parting with Ruby to pay off debt is going to be hard - Imagine that? Selling you friend cos you're in a money rut. Sad. Except that (as much as I would love to believe this) she , Ruby that is, has no soul, no emotion, no feelings (it actually hurts to write this, because funny enough she would respond to my pleadings on a cold, rainy, misty Cape Town night stuck at on a busy intersection. A few rubs & "Come-on Ruby baby" would do the trick)

My lucky  passengers (lucky to be alive) soon learnt the tricks of the trade

On to my hard life tale, I have suddenly realised that I am in debt (not suicide enducing or anything, but debt nonetheless) and its starting to feel like I'm in a quick sand pit to nowhere. Its frustrating me. I got a phone call while at the Navy festival in Simonstown at 20:35 on a Friday evening to remind me to make payment on my account! What the fuck?

So now I cant even chill with my friends on a Friday night out & not be reminded of my ever looming dark cloud of debt. Great.

Then I had a fight with a former friend ( effective immideately - yes, it was that bad). What's upset me is not that I have lost her as a friend. Its how I lost her as a friend. That energy sucking leech. It was bound to happen, the relationship had run its at-first-rather-pleasant-and-fun-soon-thereafter-slightly-bumpy-most-times-turbulent-and-recently-downright-unpleasant course. It was time. 

What upset me was the fact that this individual, we'll car her *Grumpy (I wonder why this pseudonym) has these unbearable traits that she doesn't realise she has. One of being stubbornness. It makes it pretty hard to see and therefore change what is unpleasant about you to others. 

But that's her journey to undertake. I've learnt.

There is more on my shit week I shall divulge but the reality of deadlines, trips to johannesburg tomorrow morning with a flight ticket that is yet to materialise hang over me. I shall rant and rave later.
