Realizing that I need to start calming down

Before I left to drive down here I dropped my car off at the dealership to do some scheduled maintenance, and found out there were some problems that needed to be corrected before I made the fifteen hour trek. My rear tires were nearly bald and the tire rods were about to break. Not to outdo that, the carcass was actually showing on one of them, the rear left. Bought new tires, but didn’t feel too comfortable paying $800 for new tire rods any time soon as they weren’t a necessity. Now, I’m starting to notice the rods. When I break sharply, which is a constant down here, the car pulls extremely. Quite honestly, when I break at a light, sometimes, the car pulls under the stress. So, I’m faced with the awful truth that I’m going to have to shell out the cash to repair the tire rods. Not to mention the $450 owed to Payam and his parents for the bed and desk. Oi.
