Gas Prices are too damn high
Since gas prices have gone up about 50 cents in the past 24 hours, I am hanging on to every drop of gas that's already in my car, and I'm already down to half a tank. I'm not going to be able to go to my support group tonight for eating disorders. And I dont know if I'll be able to even make it to my support group for DID on Saturday either. I've had to miss groups for a few weeks because work has been so busy that I haven't had time to go. Now that I am going to finally have time, I might not get to go after all. My groups are a minimum of 30 miles drive each way. My therapist is a 45 mile drive away and even farther if I am trying to get there from work. Its so disheartening. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard I fight to get better, obstacles keep getting in my way. Its just one thing after another.
Think I'm going to need to hit Ebay and sell a few more of my things, that way, if I can make about $100 on there, that will pay for gas for a few more weeks of traveling to work and therapy and groups.
Anyone else miss the days from a few years ago when gas prices dipped to 89 cents a gallon? *sigh*

Attention poster above: WE ALL KNOW ABOUT KATRINA. K? WE ARE ALL DOING WHAT WE CAN. My sister was just EXPLAINING how these gas prices are affecting her. Back off, k? She doesn't need this, hun. I'm sure there are things you are griping about that have nothing to do with the hurricane today. Isn't there someplace ELSE you can criticize people at this time? Everyone hurts right now, some more than others, and it's all relative. But my sister was just talking about one of HER hurts. If you can't say something nice (to someone who is hurting) then don't say anything at all, my friend.
I noticed your last entry finally acknowledges the hurricane victims. However, this post shows how not just you, but a lot of people tend to forget their fellow humanity over something so petty as gas prices. It is great your school is raising money for these victims and that you're involved. But this entry on gas prices is heartless when you think about what was going on as you clicked "post".
