I'm so afraid right now.....

 You are amazing Glenda; I really admire the way you're coping with everything. I'll keep you and DH in my prayers;{{{HUGS}}}.

I wish that I FELT amazing!  I just keep trying to put one foot in front of the other and keep marching forward!  A week from now I'm sort of going to be homeless!  That's a really disconcerting thought.

And granted, it will be a higher level of homeless than these poor people who snuggle up in the woods in town, and have only the church shelters for the bitter cold nights.  I'm trying to keep that in mind.  WE have someplace to be warm and dry, to cook our own meals, etc.  And I'm really trying to focus on the folks that are in a far worse situation than we are.  Still and all, it's a scarey place for me to be.  I feel so totally out of control of my own destiny and thats a real uncomfortable feeling for me.

But, I slept last night, without the awful wakefulness in the middle of the night.  And today, I actually feel pretty rested, which is a nice change!

Everyones prayers are helping so much.  Just knowing I have some extended family to chat with really helps too.

Glenda, Willow wants you to know that she thinks it would be so fun to live in a rolling dog house-a ride anytime you want. . .

Lori, let Willow know that it doesn't do a whole lotta rolling once you park.  It's a major pain to disconnect and move out.

Glenda, I'm continuing to send good thoughts and vibes your way and hoping something great turns up for you soon.  I can't imagine the stress of everything you're describing.  I guess you have to just take it one hour at a time so you don't get completely overwhelmed.  But, since I'm someone who has a mind that goes into overdrive over most things, I know how awful it is to try to get rest when you can't still your thoughts.  Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!

DH has a nibble.  But, he's had nibbles before so am trying not to get too excited.

And, I, had sent my resume and followed up with some writing samples, but the samples didn't arrive.  I suspect that while the file was sending the lovely folks downstairs bumped me off line.  That happens often.  It IS my phone line, that I am paying for, but they seem to think that whatever they want to use or do is ok.  I use my laptop for playing around.  Any really serious work that I do is done on the desktop, with it's bigger HD and tons more ram.  Guess what is packed away?  I unearthed it to get some writing samples out to those folks, and now must unearth it yet again.  And that's ok, no problem doing that, but gosh darn it, those people really need to learn some manners!  Sigh.

Oh well.  Supposedly they are going to organize the garage this weekend so that I can get to MY stuff.  That will make me happy!

Gee Glenda,,,I have been so wrapped up in sorrow with my Bubblegum that I haven't been reading anything else..with the exception of the Snickers thread.  I had no idea this was going on....didn't know that you DH was out a job.

Please know you have my thoughts and prayers and best wishes for something to come up soon for you.

Thank GOD for that motor home...sure has helped you a lot over the past few years.

Ugh!  What rotten people!  At least you'll get away from them. 

Oye.  Someone isn't done with me yet.

UHaul called this morning.  Now understand that we are way out in the boonies and getting anything other than a UHaul isn't gonna happen because of the mileage charges.  The hotel that rents UHauls had a big one, and we reserved it.  UHaul international called before 7:30 and we can have a smaller truck and drive 14 miles each way to get it.  At 59 cent a mile.......crap.  Why can't anything be easy????

Hopefully the rental place will cut us some kind of break on the mileage, especially since I have to travel to get the darned thing.  And make at least two trips to get things moved. 

Not a great way to start the day. 

Usually when you reserve something, don't they kinda HAVE to give it to you, or otherwise compensate you?  I would nicely tell them that you not only would like to pay only what you expected to pay with the larger truck, but that you ought to have some sort of compensation for your troubles to now have to do TWO trips, which is never fun.  We've had UHaul upgrade our truck without us wanting it, free of charge, but then the gas mileage sucks even worse on a huge truck.  and try wanting a 14ft truck and getting something the size of a semi! 

 Sending good wishes your way....  Hopefully you can work something out with them.

I do know Glenda...that sometimes in our lives NOTHING goes right. This is that time for you it seems. It can only get better.

Hang in there.

Man, you've got that right Dyan.  We are moving some stuff today in DS's pick up and of course it's drizzling.  So, my intention to have the guys take stuff over while I finished up things around here, well, that's not happening since I need to take my sportage full too.  The only thing we can really put in the truck is plastic bins and whatnot that we can wipe off when we get there.  Sigh.

Oh well.  The sooner we get done, the sooner we can get out of this place.  They fought again last night.  Most of the night.  And it even woke ME up....which pretty much takes an act of Congress!

 glenda you're still in our thoughts, I hope the move goes well and you can get away from those fighting people, that must do NOTHIGN to help your spirits. Good luck.

Sigh.  I discovered yesterday that someone had taken the rear wiper blade from my car.  The last time I drove it, I stopped and hosed it off at the do it yourself carwash and USED the wipers afterwards, so I know it was there then.  DS went to set the DVR for something and discovered that everything he's recorded had been deleted.   He'd gone in and gotten the right cable so he could download everything to his hard drive.  Guess someone won't be real happy at midnight tonite when the Dish goes away........oh well.

 This past week has been really ugly.  The fights, the parties, the drinking and tossing beer bottles out in the yard......the little acts of petty vandelism.  Thank goodness we are almost out of here.

We did move a good number of things yesterday, so at least there is a good dent in the moving.  The major stuff is today, so today will be pretty busy, but, at least soon I'll be able to say that I'm done.
