Good News, Bad News

My last couple of days have been a whirlwind of elation and stress. Here's recap on the good news/bad news see-saw I've been on:

Good News: I got my car this week!
Bad News: My Uncle noticed something leaked from it overnight...

Good News: I finally got to socialize with some of my co-workers after work at bowling!
Bad News: I drank just a little too much, and had to sit at the bar, sobering up for an extra couple hours so I could drive home...

Good News: I upgraded my Galaxy S3 to Android 4.4 KitKat (by modding it)!
Bad News: I stayed up WAY too late flashing the software, and got only 4 hours of sleep. Also, I lost all my apps and data on my phone...

Good News: I figured out what the leak was!
Bad News: It's motor oil. There's a rust hole in my oil pan. That is out of my skill level to repair, and should be wonderfully expensive to fix.

So essence, when it rains, it pours. Except it doesn't rain here in San Diego, so I need to find a new metaphor. I do realize that many of these bad happenings were my fault entirely. And I will, however reluctantly, accept that. That's life. I really don't like however, when things entirely out of my control go wrong at the same time I'm being stupid. That, however, is also part of life.
