Crappy New Year
Dear readers: Please don’t read the title of this post and think that I’m wishing you a horrid 2010. I’m just making a statement about how my new year has been thus far.
Where shall I start? I guess I’ll start with New Year’s Eve. I woke up that morning with my nerves all to hell, for no particular reason. I was on the verge of a panic attack before I even got out of bed. Stuff going through my head at the speed of light, and me generally just driving myself nuts. I tried to stop it, but that never works. Hubby finally talked me into going to the doctor, even though we couldn’t afford it. So there’s some more debt on the old credit card.
I went, I talked to the doctor, I cried, and she gave me some advice and a prescription for Prozac. I was hoping for something a little faster acting, but I guess I’ll just have to hang in there for a couple of weeks and see if it’s going to work or not. At least Hubby was kind enough to take me out to eat and try to have some fun together. That kept me from going off the deep end, even though we were both rather bummed that we didn’t have any friends to spend New Year’s Eve with.
New Year’s Day was pretty uneventful. We sat around the house, played computer games, and went to the inlaws’ house to watch wrestling. But this morning we woke up to frozen water. It took Hubby about an hour to get it thawed out, and then he left to go cut some wood so we would have heat during this ice age we’re going through here in the mountains right now. Shortly after he left, it quit running again. I went to the basement, used the hair dryer to thaw it out once again, and thought all was well. But the next time I went to the basement, there was a stream of water running down from the bathroom, signifying of course a leak. So I had to turn the water off, run it out of the lines, and now all I can do is wait until Hubby gets back and see how bad the news is.
If we’re going to be stuck in this place for a while (and I’m sure we are), I think I’m going to have to look into student loans and go to school to study plumbing and contracting. Sometimes it seems like keeping everything running smoothly is a full-time job. And I really don’t need all this additional stress right now.
