Real fucking disaster.
I don't think I have roadside assistance through my insurance company. I'll look in a minute.
I know there was something through the car manufacturer, but, that paperwork would be at home, if at all. I think I threw it away, or mailed it to.
You know who.
I really just want to leave all this here. Head home, and figure it out in the morning, but that's a risk I don't want to take right now, especially since everything is falling apart right now.
And everything is falling apart with a kind of. Precision.
Well. I was getting worried that I might be cursed, but then I realized that everyone kind of experiences rough times,
And that this is probably the time of my life when things are rough.
I thought, maybe I'm cursed, maybe this is karma for commiting some kind of offense, or offending someone, or, commiting some kind of sacrilege,
But then, I realize, that I'm just going to go with the idea that. Everyone experiences tough times during their life, and this is the time of my life where I'm having a hard time.
Everyone. experiences. Hard times. And these are my hard times.
I'll never forget when someone told me, quoting Winston Churchill. Said. success is not final, failure is not fatal. What counts is the courage to continue.
My life has almost gone down the toilet in 4 days. but. I'm not. Dead. Yet.
This. Series of catastrophes hasn't actually killed me.

I'm tired. I want to just get home and figure it out in the morning. If you are wondering why I don't have roadside assistance insurance, the answer is this, like any other kind of insurance, there are coverage limits, deductibles, and out-of pocket expenses.
Even with one of the better roadside assistance policies, I would have blown through 8 or 9 roadside assistance calls just getting back to Dallas, and that's assuming a roadside assistance insurance company would tolerate certain shenanigans. More likely it would have been 1 tow with a kind of large out-of-pocket expense.
Anyway. Let's think about a comparable issue. Health care. Right. Emergency room visits and ambulance rides are the most expensive ways of dealing with health issues, it's more economical to go urgent care and even more economical to schedule an appointment with an in-network provider and all that shit.
If I could just get home, and figure this out in the morning, I turn these emergency car toubles into urgent care car troubles.

I'm fucking tired. It's cold. And I'm paralyzed in the sense that I don't really know what to do.
I have 2 fucking issues here. There's the issue with my car. And. There is the fucking issue with the towing dollie.
I don't mind having my car towed to the dealership, but, what would I do about the dollie?
* * *
If I could just get a spare tire for the dollie I could tow my car to the dealership, and take the truck and towing dollie back to the rental company. Even if I had roadside assistance insurance, I would have exceeded my policy limits several times over.
* * *
Alrighty, so the rental company had roadside assistance.
This disaster is almost over with.
