The Good, the Bad, the Downright Depressing

Good News:
My little philanthropist of a daughter raised over $500 for her favourite charity this week! I hope she never loses her idealism and passion for helping others. What a great kid ... and what a great bunch of friends and family who so generously supported her!

Bad News:
Went to renew my $120 parking pass for work and got a $30 parking ticket ... for having an expired parking pass. WTH? Isn't there a law against that kind of piracy?!

Worse News:
Took my SFBC in to have that ABS light problem looked at (yes, the one I've been ignoring for *mumble mumble* awhile now) along with a few other 'minor' things. The dealer called hours later and started with 'It's not good news'. I have no idea what came next, I was too busy chanting "lalalala not listening" with my hands over my ears. I find that to be a really effective way of dealing with unfavourable topics.

Insult to Injury News:
Went to the mailbox after work and found a bill from my lawyer. Apparently he's ploughed through that first million I gave him and would appreciate it if I'd either shell out another couple grand or give him my soul. I'm seriously considering the soul sell-out at this point.

Be sure to tune in next Thursday for more whiney, woe-is-me, tales of gloom and misfortune with your very own, 'ray of Sunshine'.

Ignis aurum probat, miseria fortes viros.
