The verdict is in - the universe really is out to get me
We mistakenly thought that with the sale of the old house, things would begin looking up. There was the whole water heater thing, and the (fortunately minor) getting hit by a car in the parking lot (I take that as the universe's way of pointing out what it could have done to me). Now the transmission is out in our other vehicle. Out as in it's going to have to be towed the remaining 1/4th of a mile from the BP station where it's stranded to the shop where we were taking it to be fixed.
Being a grown up sucks.
