If it weren't for bad luck.....

Ok, i'm not posting this to complain, not really, it's just gotten to a funny level. I'm starting over in my life, or have been. I moved out away from family with my bf, and got an apartment. I have very little but we decided we'd make it through. I had been borrowing a car from my brother, when i found a handy man's fixer upper for $400. So, we got it. It is a station wagon, so we thought that was a good idea with the backseat going to have to have two carseats in them for sometime. Well, i was driving to work the other day when it started getting harder and harder to turn the wheel. You guessed it, i lost all my power steering. There was a high pressure line that was leaking bad. So, it was out of commision for a week. I hate borrowing peoples cars, or asking them to help, but i bit the bullet and ask my sweet family to help me and they came through. SO, my bf, who is good with his hands, and can fix cars,baaahahhha. Fixed the car. I was so delighted, yesterday was my first day of freedom with my own vehicle. I had a doctors, visit in the morning and then headed off to work. I was on the interstate, when my front right side started shaking hard. I thought, ut oh, better stop at the next exit and check it out. When pop, great I pulled off the road thinking it was a bad flat when i looked up and saw MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE, continue on without me for about 30 or 40 more feet. I watched in amazement as it bounced off the road and into the grass. UNBELIEVEABLE ! So, now i got to find a way to get the car towed and hope we, meaning my bf, can fix it. I'm fine, i didn't hurt any thing or anyone in the process of the whole thing. It just gotten ridiculous.
