I&#8217;m quite relaxed too but I&#8217;m questioning life. Sometimes it can suck badly. Sometimes it&#8217;s beautiful. Yesterday I had a busy day looking at work but it got stressful. \u00a0Whilst driving back from one of my meetings my van went wrong. It&#8217;s almost 12 months ago that the cam belt broke on it. This time it sounds like the engine again too! I&#8217;m just at a loss as to what to do. Do I spend money looking at getting it fixed, if it can be fixed, or do I throw it away. I thought things were going ok so far this year. I&#8217;ve got lots of work on. I&#8217;m just at a loss about it all. I could feel like I&#8217;m being punished and maybe I do feel that a little like that because it has sprung to mind. It&#8217;s that typical situation of money being a little tight and also I had just filled the van up with diesel the night before too! I bought the van 15 months ago for \u00a31800 and in total including buying it I&#8217;ve spent about \u00a34400 to date! I bought it cheap so that I could save up to get a decent van&#8230; That never happened because I had to spend money on it. Oh well. Nose to the grind stone all year again to try to get out of whatever debt it&#8217;s going to cost me to either fix this one or buy another! \u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Oh well rant over. At least my tax is less than I had thought it might be. I&#8217;m still surprised that I don&#8217;t feel too pissed off. Maybe I can see that it&#8217;s just one of those things that can happen. Maybe I will do some serious soul searching and I&#8217;ll come through even better. However much I get knocked down I get back up and keep going forwards. I guess that&#8217;s all I can do really. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 I&#8217;m not feeling tense or uptight so that&#8217;s good.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Sunday.
