Helene killed my clutch (I’ve bought the parts but son still needs to find all his tools post move to make the repair) and Milton dumped a tree on his car (waiting for FEMA to cough up the money to bang the roof back out and replace the windshield). Followed by a forced move (landlord said he’s getting too old to do the upkeep) and every possible complication since October, it’s been a struggle.
So yeah, you know things have been dire when you’re craving simple fruit and veg. This feels like a turning point—and I’m hopeful the car is back in business soon so we start to feel more normal.
