102 degree weather, tough Sandy recovery and potential divorce

Since I started restoring our home from Sandy I have run into problem after problem caused by the freezing of the pipes ... just with the hot and cold water systems and sprinklers and underground water dock service ...yesterday I had the water company out to discover the cause of a persistent low water pressure issue found out we're getting a thousand dollar water bill due to an underground water pipe break caused by Sandy .  Now I have to dig this pipe ( 54 " buried underground ) up , rerun it at great expense and figure out how to provide boat washing water to my tenants in the meantime , wrestle  with the insurance companies all over again and pray endless paperwork results in a supplementary check..

 

This while installing geothermal air conditioning , fixing three roofs , structurally fixing a garage ... and trying  desperately to get  expensive landscaping .plants in the ground keep them semi -watered before they die .cool  Oh , and dealing with A HUSBAND who has decided its easier to divorce rather than keep any o ne of his promises to me and his father he made before we purchased this home together and undertook this huge renovation project .blush  So I get to do all this totally by myself under the serious threat of having the final product literally sold out from under me by a greedy husband and a court.

Funny but weight gain is the LAST thing on my mind lol...  I'd wear a bikini every day except the amount of toxic poison ivy here is shocking and  I have to protect my poor  skin from more exposure by overdressing ...

How is evteryone's garden this year ?  I made tomato-potato grafts out of all my tomato seedlings just because i COULD this spring and ( I shouldn't be surprised ) I don't for the first time in countless years have ripe tomatoes in early July except  yellow pears and other cherry types . I barely got my eggplants peppers and squashes in too and i'm absolutely missing my usual  full and  free  produce baskets .    I'm sure things could be worse ... but I sure would appreciate some ideas how to bolster my will to work  up when my family is just taking and taking and obstructing in the most destructive way .  Thanks .

Thanks Gina for reaching out !  I keep telling myself that maybe these tough times will finally lead to true independence and showing up 4 myself.  You never know .. maybe eventually I'll find the love and security ( and keep the  beautiful home )  I deserve ..
