What you are afraid to do is a clear indicator of the next thing you need to do.

Oh well, it's been nearly five days and no posts. Sorry Manda. I am just to distracted right now to post. AHHHHHHG, there really is no rest for the wicked. I have way too many things going on right now. My grandmother is in the hospital and not doing well. Her surgery for a severe bleeding ulcer went well but she slipped into a stroke during recovery. She is totally out of it and as of now no one knows what the future holds for her. We'll just wait and see.
I also received a thirty-day notice from my landlord last Wednesday. Huh? I have lived here for three years and only heard from her once, two years ago when my rent check bounced. Never heard from her otherwise. She was the best landlord I've ever had. My rent was also only $650/ month in RSD. My neighbor pays over $1300. What a great deal I've had. "Like they say though, all good things come to an end." The real problem is that I went through so much hassle to get my kid enrolled in the school district out here and now who knows what will happen. Hopefully this is a new beginning though, a silver lining if you will. Melanie and I may move in together and this is an exciting prospect. I am very much looking forward to building a "home" with this woman, she lights my life.
To continue, the tranny on my stately Volvo is giving me trouble. In order to get an estimate for repair though; the shop needs to keep the car, leaving me without transpo for a bit. This hassle accompanied by possible repair costs between $250 and $1300 makes me stressed. Now, just before I was ready to commit to the repair, my credit union sends me a "pre-approved auto loan at 5.75%." Wow, I guess I'll get a little used pick up and keep my payments low. I do not want to get in so deep that I am married to my current job, (if you've seen past posts you know that I hate this job) but the relieved break down stress will be refreshing.
So there you have it, the three biggest stresses in my life this week. Though there is never a shortage of stress, this week is little heavy. I must say though, I have been learning to rely on support from friends, family, and my lover and I seem to be dealing with it pretty well. Thank you all.
