When it rains...

Yesterday afternoon my car decided to stop working. I was planning on being home by now, up in the Frozen Northlands, but I decided to make a food run for road supplies, and my car stopped shifting gears. I drove my poor little Civic straight to the dealership down here, and they diagnosed my brave little car with having her wires chewed through by mice. It's going to be 500 dollars to fix. Dammit. I really don't have the money to spend on it, but no choice. I need my car to work, so...there you have it. Really hoping I can pull some calls as soon as i get home, to earn some money to make up for it. Grr...
