Suck!

So, I decided today to ride my bike to chinese buffet since I had some cash and was hungry, always a good combination! I got about 75 yards away from my house when one of the pedals fell off of my bike, so I turned around and coasted back to my house, it turns out that the nut that held the pedal to the crankshaft was gone so I looked at the size of the threads and it looked to be the same as the nuts for the rims, so I took a nut off of my old bike and went to see if it would fit, but when I kneeled down to check to see if the nut would work I saw that the thread was damaged. Before the pedal came off it ground down part of the threading, so now I have to get an entire crankcase most likely, and when you add that to the fact that one of the gears in the back was missing teeth and if I take my bike in to be fixed I would want both problems to be fixed, I don't have the money for it. It really stinks because I was going to go riding to see where I could get to in 20-30 mins this week to apply for another job on top of detassling, hopefully one that would be flexible enough that they wouldn't mind me being gone for a week at the end of July.

It seems like everything I own is breaking down this year, my van died, my bike broke, my tube amp stopped working, my laptop has a hardware sound problem, and I stepped on a block of metal this afternoon and my foot hurts, so yeah, I'm a teeny bit miffed right now.
