I'm about ready to cry. My car has a flat tire and is about to give out on me, a lot of people owe me money and can't pay it back (otherwise I would have a new car) and everyone at work wants something right now. I feel under attack, and I can't take any time off because of the Thanksgiving holiday (unless you want a blank screen on the TV channel I work for - hey that's not a bad idea!)

I shot through a line of credit and my credit cards in part due to Freckles' final illness. Now I'm paying for it in more ways than one. My fear is once I get the car over to Sears to get the flat fixed they'll start picking on me for the other issues. I can't afford to have the work done and it isn't worth it right now. (The check engine light is on, the low coolant light is on and I fill that every night, the oxygen sensor light is on, and so on). And my nights are filled with nightmares about Bob going missing or being trapped somewhere.

When it rains it pours doesn't it?
My motto is the old saying, "when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in the end of the rope and hold on tight" It will get better...........

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
I know exactly how you feel! Sounds like a "Calgon, take me away!" day! Hang in there - TCS is here. Hope for the best, expect the worst (then you're prepared to deal with it): vent as needed, and even though you feel like you can't afford the time, take a few minutes for yourself - whether it's reading a couple of chapters of a good book, taking a bath (or combining the two!)....

Hubby and I learned a REALLY good lesson about loaning money to friends the hard way. In the future, I suggest you think about it this way: if you are going to need it back at some point, don't loan it. You don't need to present the loan as a gift, but in your mind, if you can give it, don't loan it.

I sure hope it turns around for you soon!
