In general, the ABS is an important safety control system in your BMW which is used for preventing the wheels from skidding when the traction is lost or the brakes are hard to apply to stop the car. All models of BMW have an ABS light which is activating when anti-lock brakes are not functioning the way they should. Go through the following infographics to know about the causes behind the activated ABS light in BMW.

In new updates of Why The Fuck, my car is now refusing to start and I have been waiting on a tow truck for almost two hours. It's probably my battery that's fucked, which is lovely. Those cost a ton (I have a hybrid). Also the logistics of getting to/from work tomorrow are complicated, since my car will be at the repair place.

....hopefully not for a long period of time, because I have places to get to and things to do, and I hate a) relying on public transportation and b) pestering others for rides.

"Hey Chicken, how's the house buying going?" you ask, friendly.

I immediately throw up on your shoes and collaps into a sobbing heap.

long form stressed out thoughts

Because it's never just one bad thing!

So this past Friday I messed up my shoulder in a way that may or may not be related to the new PT exercises I've had lately. It was a couple of minutes of 10/10, comparable to gallstones, brace yourself 'cause you're gonna die kind of pain, and since then it's mostly settled into just the left side of my trapezius muscle which now feels like a hot angry tennis ball embedded in my back.

Here is an image for visual reference:

Anyway.

Drawing anything with greater fidelity than Angry Tennis Man is proving to be challenging at the moment. Great, cool, fun.

BUT IT GETS BETTER!

So we were out picking up my prescriptions today so that I can continue living and surviving and stuff, and a pickup truck with a Very Good Driver at the wheel, with Very Well Functioning Brake Lights stopped hard in front of us, so we had to stop hard behind him. And doing this apparently was too much for something as-yet-unknown in the brake system of my car, which I just fundraised to get registered and back on the road, because it was the less-broken and more fuel-efficient of our two vehicles. We managed not to hit anything, and we made it home only because the e-brake in my car is working, thankfully. But that's not a long-term solution, or even a good idea.

So now we have two dysfunctional vehicles, neither of which are safe to drive.

We live in an extremely rural area (there are cows everywhere!) so there is no public transit here. I have less than $10 in my bank account thanks to the ongoing shenanigans with Temporary Public Assistance just, deciding they aren't going to do what they said and pay our rent. I have been arguing for months to no avail. We are lucky to be in a situation with someone who is very flexible about this landlording, BUT this was only ever meant to be a temporary situation and there's no human way we can get a foothold on anything when Temporary Assistance says we need to spend all our money on rent, including and especially the assistance money.

So I'm kind of in a panic, because I don't think I can reliably take commissions right now. I wouldn't feel right about it because my arm just goes out when it feels like and I am not getting adequate pain relief from my doctors. I feel like I've worn out my goodwill asking for help on the internet because up until now it's been generally relatively small bills coming up, but doing some research this one could range into around $1000 depending on what is wrong. Which we can't afford to find out in the first place because of the whole "$10 in my bank account" thing.

I am contemplating attempting a GoFundMe because I truly do not know what else to do here. I am terrified it'll disqualify us from SNAP and the other things currently keeping us afloat because they're finicky about income sources. I'm not confident I could even attract enough attention on it for it to be helpful.

I am scared? And I am out of ideas? Anyone out there with suggestions or ideas? I also have a t-shirt and sticker shop and digital comics here and here but ha ha that is not gonna cut it. 😬

I'm absorbing FP from my dash and it sounds like despair and chaos 😭

[muttever]

The trials continue!

Cars, y'all, are horrid things. Our car went and died via turbo on the engine quitting at life. Had to go and get another cheap car as an emergency buy with money we didn't have to waste. Little cheap car isn't too bad I guess. I got a manual for it and the desire to cause chaos.

Gotta spend nearly £50 on small parts like spark plugs and an air filter to replace them on engine which, yikes. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Car has MOT until 13th December which... Isn't ideal. Have a full 5 days before I get paid so even if it passes MOT, won't have it back until paid for it... Ugh.

Do have the front brake discs and pads so I can, hopefully, sort them out myself and not require them adding on top of MOT cost. Back brakes are a them problem however because shoes and drums are Not My Wheelhouse At All.

Anyway. This is more to complain about bad luck, bad timing, and spark plugs being lil binches that desperately want to cause me problems.

🙃

Will I kill this car tomorrow when I try and do the spark plugs and air filter? Maybe.

Am I going to do it anyway? Yes.

What happens if things go wrong? I cry from frustration and figure out how to pay for repairs and MOT.

What happens if things go right? I cry from joy and still figure out how to pay for MOT.

Do you think the universe likes to give me problems to deal with because it doesn't want me getting bored or... Ya know... Having a good, happy life?? Fucked if I know.
