Why is it that things appear to go well for a while...then pretty much always take a severe nose dive?? Let's see now....
1/ Around $3500 in bills to pay in the next 4-5 weeks and nowhere near enough money to do it. Not to mention no money for groceries etc...
2/ A speeding ticket for $132 I just received from the 11th Dec. Wtf?? Apparently going 10km over the limit in a school zone. I am ALWAYS so careful in school zones. Given the rest of that road has a 70km speed limit and I was supposedly going 50km in a 40km zone, I bet I didn't see the sign until I entered the zone and then slowed right down. Clearly not fast enough though. Sucks :(
3/ A $179 piece of equipment I bought just after Christmas got fried during a big storm and power outage on Wednesday. Of course, as my luck would have it, I can't find the receipt. I know I kept it but it's disappeared. I have receipts for just about everything else....except for this (and below as you will soon see)....
4/ Arielle got her orthotics today. Unfortunately the school shoes I had bought her are now no good so I had to buy a $100 pair to replace them. Given her orthotics were $335 she has to have the right shoes to wear them in. Her sandals were also no longer any good so I had to buy a new specialised pair..at the cheap price of $80. The school shoes I had already purchased I knew could be returned...as they are unworn and still perfect in their box etc. But guess what?? The same gremlin that took the above sales receipt has taken this one too!!! I KNOW I kept it. I'm sure I kept it with the shoes. But now it's gone. Great. Fucking great... You may ask why I spent this much when I'm in financial dire straights...and the answer is simple. Arielle's health is a top priority. She has a problem with her feet and joints and that left me no choice. She needs the orthotics and the correct footwear to go with them.
5/ I have a boyfriend that is a compulsive liar. I have refrained from saying that on here before for several reasons...but right now I'm SO fucking over it that it's not funny. Promises....promises...promises... Blah...blah...blah. He has been warned of the consequences on enough occassions too...and begs and pleads and makes yet more promises to keep me. But what does he do??? breaks them again EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!!! Actions speak louder than words. Words aren't worth shit.
6/ Right now I want to curl up and die. Seriously. I really do. I'm over it. Really really over it. No matter how much I try I always get screwed.
