Congrats on getting through your semester under very trying circumstances.  Grieving has a way of overtaking us and chores and other things that can wait often do. It's too bad about the tire. For me, that's one of the life on life's terms arrrghhh! things.  I understand your aggravation at the timing and expense.  Your plans for the craftshow change if you can't get there without a car. If you can, what you can purchase may be influenced by the fact that you have a new unforeseen expense - buying a new tire. So you had an expectation that your break would be a time of relaxation, companionship with your daughter, fun activities and spending money on enjoyment. 

One of my old behaviors was to cancel a planned good time if it couldn't be as I expected or planned.  That was my old way of having fun - organized fun. Any deviation from the plan caused me to be resentful at the loss of control of my day.  It was ok to be disappointed and express it but sitting in my own misery was my choice.  What a time suck that was!  Now I might get annoyed with what's happened but try to take a breath and reach a place of acceptance and begin making a plan b. Actually, some better days have resulted from the plan b than my original plans. One good example is the holiday when the weather was so bad I couldn't travel and I was holed up in the house by myself. Midday I got out my Alanon meeting phone list and called a some Alanons from my local meeting and invited them to come over that evening. Surprisingly, most came over and we had an unpressured good time. I didn't get the holiday I planned but I got a pretty decent one with the help of my hp and being willing to be willing.  

Asking for help when I'm overwhelmed and have a big "to do" list has been one of the best tools I've learned in this program.  Honestly... I have seen and listened to people who "do it all."  I get tired just listening to them.  I'm not less if I ask other people for help. Good friends have helped me clean house before we go out somewhere, spotted me a few bucks when needed etc. In my humble opinion, this doesn't make me irresponsble or lacking in some area, it makes me human. I try to remember and offer it too when asked.  I hope you have a great day and that you make time for a little of everything including some crafting with your daughter as planned just using what you have on hand.  Thanks for sharing.  Prayers as you grieve your ex odaat.  (((hugs)))  TT
