Roomates dont want to renew our lease. 1 is waiting on a job in the city, and the other 2 are thinking of moving home to save money. Now granted I moved home for a year and saved a good bit of money. But I did not hesitate to put it all down on first and last months rent to get the f*ck out of there. With my girl still doing full time nursing school, its looking like im going to be in a rough situation in a few months.
Good thing is it looks like I convinced them to sign on for another month through June so I dont gotta deal with this before Roo.
I HATE my job. I dread going to work every day. the only thing saving me is knowing that I will only be there until the end of summer. I am thankful that is the only GRRR right now in my life, but it still gets me down and makes me bat shit crazy.
Got sucked into "leadership looks for men's apparel" webinar. Pretty sure presentation was tailored for single men in their 50s. Could think of better things to kill me slowly with. Ugh...
We are just a wee bit shy of being inside three months until our Alaska move, and my husband's boss schedules him for a month long school in North Carolina. Every move we have ever made has been placed on my shoulders, either on the sorting/packing end or the unloading/unpacking end--all 6 of them, for various schools or deployments that he has went on. We made a difficult decision to keep the house, allowing my father to stay here while we are away for a fraction of our mortgage payment because we don't have the equity to sell, which means I have the added responsibilities of splitting up our household goods, selling what dad doesn't want and we don't need, packing things away we are taking on the trip, and separating everything so the movers (coming the third week of May) don't accidentally pack things that are supposed to stay. I do not do well with change at all, and when things get loaded on me like this I normally end up in therapy. When added in that I refuse to miss Roo and still have to contend with three busy kids and the day to day routine, I really think I am setting myself up for some immense stress. He is trying to talk his way out of this ordeal, but for now GRRRRRRR! is all I can say.
Got laid off from my second job yesterday. I have been really depending on that income so all festival plans are hereby cancelled as of now. Since I already have tickets to Wanee and Shaky Knees, I am selling those tickets and want to donate the proceeds to my Inforoo loved ones who are battling the big C. I will miss seeing everyone and can't do much but this is the best way I know to turn my frustration with the universe into something that will do some good for someone else. Do you guys think I should put them up for auction, just donate them outright to QSAROO or what? All suggestions will be considered.

Whatever you decide to do, you are +1 for addressing it in the way you have chosen - turning your situation from one of to one of . Good luck in your efforts, and here's vibes that things look up for you soon.
I noticed you like Thoreau; more thoughts from our main man Henry that might apply:
“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.”
“If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.”
“What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”
“However mean your life is, meet it and live it.”
“I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers.”
This one only fits because this a music message board, but here it is anyway:
“When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.”
^^ thanks. If Thoreau were alive in this day and time, I would have figured out how to capture him and put a love spell on him. LOL. The man is my soulmate from almost 200 years ago....LOL. I'm on my third copy of Walden/Civil Disobedience.

I have nowhere else to turn right now, I'm loosing it slowly, I've been in tears for hours, My grandpa who is the man who raised me, means the world to me, has been diagnosed with Leukemia and I feel so worthless, and helpless, I can't loose him, if I do my entire world will crash down, I may be almost 30 but that man still to this day, I believe hung the moon and stars, He's been my rock, my comfort, the one person I can talk to about anything and be completely honest with. I just want to crawl into a hole and hide from the world forever....I talked to him tonight and being his normal self, he tells me to relax and not worry about it, because he isnt worried....but wtf do I do? I can't just act like everything is sunshine and rainbows!

He sounds like a wonderful person and I am sorry for your pain. One possibility is that he either has a strong faith or is very stoic and has accepted his illness, being thankful for the life that he has had. Knowledge will be your (and his) best weapon. Partner with him to find out all that the two of you can about his condition and the treatment.
The best gift that you can give him right now, and ongoing, is your time, your love, and showing him the results of his efforts in raising you by showing him what a strong young lady you can be. You do have the strength within you even though you don't realize it right now.

So sorry to here this Kim. I know you're strong and have gotten through way worse than this. But goddamn we're going to miss you on the farm.
oh, and not exactly like McArthur. he was a complete ass leaving all those soldiers (and nurses!) stranded on the Bataan peninsula so they could endure the Bataan death march. history has made him out to be a hero when in my opinion he was a coward - and the spin doctors of the time just made him look like a hero. So that was a bad analogy.
But I digress from review of the Pacific theatre in WWII to tell you all that I love you

May have got caught up in an online fraud today. I don't mess around when I get weird vibes though. Called FTC's fraud department, the BBB and filed a claim with Paypal to set into action the steps needed to get a full refund.
Man I feel like a D now after reading the previous few posts. I am so very sorry for what you all are going through. You all sound like amazing people that I would like to meet this year or some other time for those who won't be at Bonnaroo this year. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

I am so sorry, I completely understand this! My grandfather was the same thing to me. unfortunately he passed when I was pregnant with my son. 10 years later and I still cry as I type this. I will think of you and send you strength b/c, sadly there is nothing else. great big slobbery sobbing hugs.

Thanks honey! Upside to it is that it is still in it's infant stages so they are hoping that the oral chemo will help, unfortunately, at 76 I know the time will come, it kills me to think about, because I still picture him like I did when I was 5 and he was invincible. I know everyone has to grow up and face reality, but I really don't want to
GRRRRRRR to all of these GRRs lately. I am sorry, you guys.
@zenfnp, you know I am here for you anytime. You will get thru this,just like you do everything else. You continue to amaze me with your never giving up spirit.
tealeyedangel, I am so sorry. But know this. My dear grandfather had leukemia for many years in his later life. He was one of the lucky ones who handled it like a champ. He lived many years with it, passing away 2 weeks after his 90th birthday, peacefully, after living a long, wonderful life. We of course don't know how your grandfather will handle it. We don't even know what tomorrow will bring for any of us. But I will pray that your grandfather follows the same path as my grandfather, and you should follow my path. Love him & make each moment count. That is all we can do. And that will be enough.

Just sunk $140 bucks into my car to try and get the turn signals to work again and nothing fixed it. Now I gotta get electrical diagnosis which should be even more loot. Fack!
