Excitement = Zilch

I.
Well as mentioned in my previous post, i finally had Eunice's engine swapped. I was supposed to pick her up this morning. I woke up early to pick up the car and have the aircon reconnected and the radiator overhauled. When i first started the engine i noticed that it was so loud. Only then did i realize that the pipes from the headers was not connected to the rest of the exhaust system. It was a job for another shop, a fact i totally knoew but slipped my mind. And it means that i'm already over my initial budget and i need a few thousand pesos more (including modifications and cleaning need for the aircon and the radiator).

II.
What i really don't understand is why people just can't be happy for me and for what i've accomplished. Instead of being glad that i've accomplished something ive always wanted for years now, some people around me prefer to nag me about what i was not able to do because i had to fund this project. All i hear is that im now officially broke, i was not able buy this, i was not able to buy that, i can't go with some friends on an out of town trip, how i fucked everything up because i went over my budget. These are the very same people who i expect to be as happy and excited as me.

III.
So there, i went from being literally shaking with excitement to being outright depressed in a span of a few days. So depressed i just want to sulk and never leave my room again.

IV.
But still, i would like to thank auto tech for doing an excellent job. grupo toyota for being a bottomless well of information and inspiration. And to all those lifves i affected because i fucked up, sorry.
