It Can't Get Any Worse

So, as I'm driving out to a school this morning, my temperature gauge starts heading toward the H red zone. I immediately turned around and headed to my mechanic's shop. It also happened on Saturday night. I was hoping it was just a leak in the radiator hose. Of course, when they checked it out, it turned out I needed a new head gasket. $700. Ouch! And the final bill will be more with labor. Did I mention that I won't be getting a paycheck in June? Don't I have some long-lost relative out there somewhere who I should be inheriting money from? I hate it when stuff like this happens.
