Quote From: rlnashYou actually had me cracking up with that one!! I needed it! My emotions have been in
total chaos since Saturday. I WOULD LOVE to see them in a rolling (full) porta potty!!!
I've been asking and asking for an "amount" and would get - "oh, don't worry about it,
we just want you to get well". Well, my butt. Anyway ........
How about a little good news? I found out while ago my house will be ready in Oct!!!!!!!
Hallelujah!!!!!! Too bad I can't afford food now after I get in it! Hee Hee
Back to this weekend - I had two setbacks. #1, I cut again and #2, I dyed my hair black.
But - at least I didn't cut it!!!! (I have lightish brown/blonde hair) But, the way I look at
it, that beat my alternatives.
What you said about your girls is exactly what I told my doctor this morning. It would be like
me writing my daughter and saying, remember the graduation trip to Florida? Well, guess
what? Here's your part of the condo rent, your food, and your souvenirs. Oh, I told you it
was a present? OOoops, sorry, now pay up.
They even put their airfare tickets in the total when they had to come see me in the hospital
in Arkansas. (probably meals, too) Oh well, such is life. Speaking of which, my sister-
in-law informed me during all of this that "nothing in life is perfect". Oh, My, Gosh...
If I had had the strength to look up at that point, I would have seriously hurt her and not
cared. But, I'm most disappointed in my brother through all of this. He's really on the low
end of the pole in my opinion. Shame on him.
By the time I'm in the house, the amount is probably going to near $60,000. Because we
still have round trip airfare to AR to seperate my things, get a moving company to bring
what I need out here and closing costs. Then I told them no more. They won't be putting
things on my "tab" that I thought they were just doing to help me out. My problem is how to
pay them back in one lump sum, so I don't have to pay them every month until I die. I'd
rather get a loan and pay a financial institution monthly and be done with it. That way I can't
be the issue and I can't be a wedge in between them.
Well, enough venting for now. Thanks, Sarah, for being here for me. I feel so alone. I don't
have anyone to call. Not even anyone to give me one hug.
Love ya,
Renee'
Hi Renee'
Sorry I took a while to get back to you. Sounds like you've had a rough week. After picturing your sister-in-law rolling in the porta potty, you should imagine her complaining about the poo water that got into her nose. Then, you can tell her, "Well, nothing in life is perfect." That woman sounds like a very unhappy person. Maybe she's just really, really constipated. That would probably make me grumpy. But, what does she have against you? Did you piss in her Cheerios, or what? If not, are you now planning to, since I gave you the idea? Lol.
On the upside, though, you can get out of there a month sooner than you thought before. That's great that your house is going to be done earlier than November. If you can't get that state-of-the-art relative deterrent system yet, maybe you can just train your vicious puppy to attack. ;)
Try not to beat yourself up about cutting. I think that would be a very difficult thing to quit without a setback or two. Don't give up on it just because you slipped up. Give yourself permission to start fresh and keep moving forward.
That's weird that you dyed your hair black. I did too. I dyed mine two weeks ago, and I've been trying to get the color to fade since then. It looks OK, but I just want my natural brown color back. I don't know how long it's going to take to grow it out, but I'm thinking of cutting it super short so that it will seem like it's growing out faster.
Anyway, I hope this week will be better for you. Maybe the humor of the porta potty party will give you a mood lift. :) I'll keep you in my prayers.
Sarah
