So, we found an apartment. They will take us, it is two bedrooms, we can afford it, and we can move in on the 15th- if we can come up with $1800 by next weekend (1/2 month rent, one month security).. will this happen.. probably not, but I am thinking of things to sell to try and get there.

Yesterday my uncle died. He was 33. He had an aneurism.

Today I took my car for an oil change, and asked them to plug my tire- it has been leaking. The mechanic said the steel belts were breaking through and I needed a new tire asap. We went in huby's car to buy a tire at walmart and his car died in the parking lot. After a tow, now told he needs a new fuel pump.

We just can't win. Ugh

Ugh...so sorry to hear about your uncle's passing...that is so sad. Also very sorry to hear about all the car problems that have popped up at the worst time.

Wish I could help somehow. Hang in there the best you can.

wow! Seems like you're stuck in a "what can go wrong will go wrong" tailspin. I am so sorry for the loss of your uncle, and for the car tire, and fuel pump, and the apartment difficulty. I hope things turn around for you soon.
May God Bless.

I'm so sorry about your uncle.  What a shock that must be to your entire family.  I hope that you are close and can support each other.  Sending hugs your way.

About all the other stuff... #@&*(

It was a shock. My aunt and he were separated, but she always assumed she would end up back with him. They had been together for 15 years.. She is taking it hard.. We are a big (I have 11 aunts on my mom's side) and close family, so I know they are there for her. She is only 3 years older than me, so we were very close growing up. They are already having the funeral tomorrow though, s I can't afford to be there...

As for the rest.. I was able to borrow a good amount of what we need from my mom (first time ever borrowing money from her.. Sigh) but we still need $800 more.. Thinking the TVs and furniture may hit craigslist tomorrow.. And my jewelry and hubby's bass the pawn shop. I am determined, because this apartment is how we can start to turn things around. I have a feeling..

I have a good feeling for you on the apartment.  I'm going to visualize you living happily there!

UGH... you are so close to your aunt.  That must make it all the more difficult.  I'm sorry that you won't be able to attend the funeral.  I hope you're able to find time to do your own personal grieving.

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

AHHHHHHHH FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hubby's car is $750.. the guy fixed it, and we cant pay.. gonna have to try and sell it to cover the cost.. my tuition is due the 15th.. have no money to pay it.. so I guess I will not be getting my PhD after all.. at least not in the foreseeable future.. I hate my life right now. I am gonna go put everything I own on sale... Sorry I am such a drag lately.. I kinda suck at being supportive huh...
