The Return of Eeyore

FrauKlein

Bear with me.  I'm just going to c&p from blog and e-mail to my mom (and probably a few posts from BOTB, too):

My walls are crumbling. 
We probably need a new roof at a cost of nearly $11k per the last estimate.  That doesn't even include the walls.  Insurance hasn't gotten back to us if they'll help cover any of that.
We also need tuckpointing, estimated at $1500. 
Our shower floor is cracked. 
We need a new oven. 
K has to get cataract surgery probably before the end of the year.  Oral surgery next year, too. 
We cannot get pregnant.  K went in for his last analysis yesterday and the results were abysmal.  When the office called to tell me what they were, she said, "Dr. B. would like you two to come in and talk to him about moving on to IVF with ICSI." 
We cannot afford that, and it's the only real shot we have.  So unless he says something very surprising, we're done.
And if we repair our house and spend what we have in savings, we can't afford to start the adoption process. 
To top that off, I had to take Buckley to the vet yesterday because he was scooting.  $160 later, he has massively infected anal glands and the $83 antibiotics "stand a good chance" of working, but if they aren't strong enough, he has to go in for a surgery to clear out the infection under anasthesia.
I am hitting my wall.  I am just so very, very tired.
 
And angry.  I am so very angry.

I know you've heard most of this before, but to put it all down and read through it... it's just startling.  Seems like when there's a shiitstorm, I get the splatters.

I feel like drinking.  Who's with me?

Dang.

It is so hard to take when there are tons of things building up. Sooner or later things will start going your way! I am seriously hoping for sooner. Stay strong yo, and have a DRINK!

MK. I have no words. I've been down that road before of feeling helpless and suppressed by things out of your control. It's not a fun road to be traveling. I can only say that sometimes, you reach your destination quickly or often take a sudden alternative route and things look much clearer and sunny if only for a few moments. Either way, this is not the end of your journey. This next year may be a pit of quicksand but it too shall pass and your life will be laid out before you with opprotunities that were waiting for you to catch up to them. Opportunities you may have missed had you not traveled this way.

I am always here to talk and will always pray for your continued strength and patience. May good things come your way very soon.
