Well, we're living in the "cabin", Tiffany named it that, she felt it sounded more exotic. It's just basic right now, kitchen and a bathroom and everything else open. It's really hard to keep warm, there are alot of leaks around windows and doors, ect.
Things were looking really up for a while, we got the Mobile Home rented in the park, and the other one almost rented. Well, the first one still hasn't paid any rent even though they've been there almost 2 months, and the second one got tired and gave up. We have somebody going to try on the 2nd one again. I have to learn how to evict somebody in Utah. They like to keep it a secret, it's really hard to get information on it.
We got excited, Tony got the last of his Social Security money, I applied it to the credit card with the highest interest. We bought a big screen TV. Then got news a few more people are moving out. We now have more open sites than filled sites, it's the first time since we opened the park.
Tiffany's been out of work for over 2 months, we've been helping her, but I don't think we can any more. We've both applied for jobs with the US census. It's paying about $11 plus an hour, but it's short term. Maybe that will help things, until the park picks back up. But it's government, it takes them a while to hire.
Tony keeps falling. He's not much help any more, I don't have the knowledge or the skill level to handle all of this by myself. I feel alone in my struggle to create a decent life again for us. Every time I try to talk about my feeling, I hurt Tony's and I'm left all alone. There should be something out there for people who have to take care of thermally ill people. I'm going crazy, and I'm getting mad at him over things that aren't really his fault. My migraines are getting worse, I have at least one a month now. I still haven't fully recovered from walking of the ladder and spraining my sacrum, and the falling 2 weeks later.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. Tony got caught in the snow, pulling the backhoe to the park, and wrecked $10K, backhoe, It cost $1400, just to get it home. Now we have another snow storm coming and no way to plow the park. He's been slowly working on getting it fixed. The motor and trans are still good. One of the outriggers is crack, one of the wheel rims is totaled, and I don't know all of what's wrong with the front shovel, but it's not attached any more.
Is it OK to have a nervous brake down yet? I'm strong, but I don't think I'm this strong.
I hope this is the most negative posting I ever do. I hate it, but I need to air and there's nobody to listen. Does anybody even read this?
