My! This week things have happened that involved such huge unexpected expenses!

Last week, the muffler of the car started being loud, so I was hoping to be able to wait a few more weeks before taking it to the garage to have it fixed...

Unfortunately, on Saturday afternoon, it suddenly became so loud that I couldn't reasonably drive around with it anymore....

As a result, I had to take the train to go to work (more expenses on ticket purchase) and walk and walk and walk again... not that I mind walking, but when you have to rush from one school to the other, it's far from cool...

As a result too, my bank account has been 772 euros lighter since yesterday! How great...

Now... yesterday.... when I got home after my nightmarish day... there she was, my Maxie kitty cat, with a wound... her upper lip was actually cut open and looked like a large harelip... it looked so weird when she opened her mouth or miaowed... I felt so sorry for her, even though it didn't seem to hurt her!

I called the vet at once, of course... and got an appointment for this morning...  She stayed there all day while I was at work.

What is strange is that the vet said that her lip had already healed.... whereas she had nothing on Sunday evening.  It means she could have had this harelip forever...

But the vet said that she actually had cut the wound open again to stitch it properly.... So, Maxou is consequently, and most probably, the first kitty cat ever to have undergone a real plastic surgery! That's crazy...

Anyway: cost of the pussy plastic surgery... 119 euros...

That's A LOT of money spent in less than 24 hours, and that I would gladly have spent on other things… like a trip to London, for example!

I do hope that bad luck will leave me soon! Especially when I think that three weeks ago, my car battery went dead and that I had to buy a new one!

When is it gonna stop?
