Well, I don't often post in here, but lately, the fit has been hitting the shan.

My gramma died last Friday and had the funeral the following Monday. It was a beautiful service. I still miss her. She had suffered years of Alzheimer's disease, so she was ready, but I am still sad.

My husband was laid off this previous Friday. He's relieved, but I am terrified.

A close friend of the family is in stage 4 of lung cancer. It looks like he might not make it, but we are all hoping and praying for the best.

So, that is the sum of upsetting news for our family. Please keep us in your thoughts/good vibes/prayers.

Thanks,
Case

@ case: awww hon...sending warm thoughts your way.

@ limey: heheheee...just one of my friends with a drinking problem who cut her eye wide open falling down the steps. When I got home I just wanted to tell SOMEONE about my experience with her at the ER, then it just seemed silly.

Thanks you, Clod. Actually, things are already looking up. We are building our house cleaning business, and believe it or not, loving it. It is so nice to have someone to help me, now!

You guys should bank mad loot. I knew a couple who did that. They would do their first cleaning on an hourly basis, then offer the homeowner a lower,flat rate for the same service. They figured out a system where they knew if a job took them five hours the first time, they could get the time down to half after a few times. The owners were happy to get a discount, and my friends made more money per hour than their hourly rate and were able to get a few houses done per day.

@case, glad the layoff turned out to be blessing in disguise! I had that happen when I go fired from my last job and ended up with a job paying almost 2xs what I had before.

My sister is still sick. This makes 21 days of solid sickness. A week before she got sick with whatever she has now, she got a stomach thing for 3 days while on her honeymoon. She's a teacher and hasn't been able to teach her students for almost 3 full weeks (she's tried to go in a few days). She is seeing an infectious disease specialist on Friday. My mom wants me to go as well seeing as I haven't been feeling great for some weeks now also.
I really really hate not being able to help those I love.

Thanks jinx, the new doc she is going to see is recommended by my mom's most-trusted-has-never-failed endocrine specialist. He has recommended great docs and surgeons for my mom is the past, so this recommendation should work out.

Everything.

The best thing would be an apocolypse. More personally, a truck should just drive over me. It's be a hella lot easier than this shit.
