I'm just not feelin' Christmas this year. What about you?

30. So...

On the material side...

Our fridge died along with our toaster the same day. The week later, our highly expensive front loader washer died.

Oh and I was diagnosed with the family curse, AFIB....and forced to take a week off without pay.

Then, my wife who has BPD, unknown to me, was not taking her medication...and of course she had a major relapse as a result. I called the paramedics.....and got two squad cars who called off the paramedics and decided to arrest her...putting her in more danger. Oh and while she was being put in the squad car while I was pleading and begging they take her to a mental hospital...she exclaimed "but he hit me too!"....well yeah, I threw her off me when I was getting the shit beating of of me.

Long story short, despite wounds on me, being delirious, etc. And being California...I got arrested as well from rookie cops who obviously were oblivious to mental health issues, by choice? I don't know. Given my health issues, another dead giveaway that trying to commit a crime might kill me, I was sent to the slammer...which also could have killed me.

I also was never imprisoned before....long story short, I didn't have a bail company number handy. Took two days inquiring from others to get one...and there went two grand. Next day, thank God I got out, got a phone call from the facility holding my wife, they were releasing her...if I remained in the facility I was in....she would be camping out on the lawn. Got a lawyer...another grand and end of our savings. And the silver lining, the DA had no intention of prosecuting me or my wife.....and asked our story be shared with the Sheriff's department as an example of how bad they fucked up. But I'm still out or 3k.

Then there was a death in my side of the family....two days later, there is a death on my wife's side of the family and their teenage son is now an orphan.

January of 2018 was fantastic! After that, it all went to hell. Fuck the 11 months of 2018.
