I read Hope for today March 18th yesterday. I think my HP is trying to tell me something. I am working on that one.
My A I think has been sober since the last week in April. I did find an empty bottle of wine in the trash. I thought about bringing it up but it is not that important & not my responsiblity. We are having some communication problems. She asks me a question when the tv is on & I am doing something online. If I did not hear exactly what she said when she said it she will not repeat it. I stopped asking her to.........I do not need her attitude.
I am getting worried about money. We are having the worst truck trouble. We hit a pot hole a few weeks ago. Blew a hole in the tire, denting the rim. We finally got 3 tires & 2 put on in a hurry. Yesterday morning we had a flat tire it took over half an hour to get the jugs off , they used that air gun & we broke a lug wrench trying to get them off. She took the truck in & they fixed the other tires for us. I was half hour late for work.
We smelled the battery stinking. We bought a new one. Last night on the way home it was stinking again. There is a voltage regulator in the altenator. I asked her not to spend all the $100 bill I gave her. She has about $30 left. She has been to the golden corral buffet twice in a week. $12.00 each visit. We live about 34 miles one way from town. So she has to go buy the altenator today. I have been trying to save money for my truck to get fixed. At this rate, I will not have any money left. But trying to mention it to her is a mute point. Maybe my HP will help today. I work from noon to 8 pm. maybe earlier.
I am working away from home 6 days a week now. I wish I was home more. But she wants me more involved here.
Well as for the March 18 read, I have not spoken to my father in 14 years. I need to learn to let go even though it was his fault what happened. He was 60 and behaved like a baby. But in his mind it is never his problem or fault. He is the victim, everyone is out to get him or use him.
Why is that when one thing goes it all seems to go? I can so relate to that. My ah's truck is always breaking down, it looks like crud because he just doesn't take care of anything he has. When his truck goes in the shop he uses my Yukon. Last time he broke the part that you hook trailer lights into off. He said --it's no big deal--I said it was because it was my car! I haven't gotten that fixed and now my air conditioner isn't working--going to cost about $1000 to fix. My mechanic always cringes when he knows that my husband has been driving my car.
Don't you wish there were money trees we could just go pluck some bills off?
Good luck in learning your lesson from your HP. Hope it comes quickly.
Take care--just remember your HP will take care of you.
