General Discussion

We're barely keeping our heads above water here... food is quickly becoming a luxury. Even the cats have had a cutback on their menus... tho I keep a close on the labels of what I'm serving them.

We got hit with like three crises this month... each one of them would have been a major hit to the pocketbook. These came 1-2-3 with days of each other. Medical bill not wanting to give anymore time; a broken water heater; a busted sewer pipe. And then hubby's truck needs new bearings and I won't let him take it out of the driveway until we can afford to get it done... this just *after* I put insurance back on the truck, since it'd sat there with a broken rim and shredded tire. I'm also pretty certain judge is gonna take his DL away since he had the dumb notion to ride around with an open bottle of Black Jack Cola... even tho he'd not even take a sip from it. It was just such a senior thing for him to do... but I hope the taking away the DL is the worst that will happen.

I can't remember the last time I had 8 hours of decent sleep. I wake up every 2 hours or so, and it's all worry and nerves and trying to figure out which Peter to pay Paul from. It's demeaning, depressing, and not at all what I thought my senior years were going to be like. And I blame trump more than anything, except for this corporate and billionaire buddies!
