depression eating

OK, I'm not really depressed but at the same time I haven't really felt like eating. I've been pretty busy but not that hungry or motivated by food. I have been eating too much fried chicken which always indicates lack of imagination since it's my fallback. I even accompanied co-workers to KFC on Oprah Grilled Chicken giveaway day and was completely disgusted by the KFC "crispy" chicken. Ugh, even their mashed potatoes were completely disgusting. I don't understand how they stay in business or why Oprah has aligned herself with them.

My car is making me depressed as the "Check Engine" light has now been on for over two years. How? do you say? How did you pass your emissions last year? Somehow by the skin of my teeth, apparently. Because about a week after I passed last year (after over $600 in repairs), the "Check Engine" light returned and has haunted me since. I've had it looked at by my trustier garage of several years and they found it was the same problem as last year - a faulty valve that costs $100 and is a piece of plastic doo-doo. This thing lasted 116 miles before it caused my "Check Engine" light to go back on this time. I'm just about out of money to be spending on my car right now.

I am eating egg salad because I don't feel like eating anything because of this bullshit. Ugh!!!!!
