I'm having a bad week...
It actually started last Thursday. I got notice that my unemployment has run out. Thanks to *'s economic 'miracle' I haven't yet found that job.

My car has been in the shop for 3 weeks now. They can't tell me whats wrong with it...but I'll bet it's going to be expensive.

Monday my sister called, told me my mother's liver is failing. We're calling hospice in.


So how's your week going?

1. It would be so easy for me to say " I hope all gets better soon "
but I know that will not help . I am sending some karma prayers your way and also to your mother . Everyone at the DU is here if you need us :) :hug:

12. Yep. I've already lost both parents.
Lost my mom when I was 27, dad when I was 31. Been an orphan for six-and-a-half years now. :(

No more drama though. So I guess that is an improvement.

on edit: You know what, my week ain't all that bad. I removed a problem from my life. I really feel for your situation(s). I wish you the best.

9. Shit
that's not a bad week. That's a damn freaking horribly all-out shitty week.

I am so sorry. Hugs to you and your family. I hope you find a job soon, your mother's passing is peaceful and not painful and that your car gets fixed.

Sheesh. Puts my whole life RIGHT into perspective.

Hugs.

15. I think...
that the hospice care is probably going to make her passing less physically painful. But the toll on the family...

14. I have to agree with you on that
Me ending a relationship this week is really insignificant in the big scheme of things.

There are way more important things in life.

16. Friday began my week of SHIT
I got FUCKED OVER in the ASS by the ONE person I loved and trusted in my life above anyone this side of the Mississippi RIver. Stupid me. :dunce:

But fuck self-pity... I embrace the change that life brings. Still, it sure threw my fucking life for a loop or two, and I am pissed off from a justice standpoint. Broken hearts are for assholes otherwise.

Should have listened to my friends... they warned me about youth and fickleness, and I poo-pooed them.... :hurts: I don't regret following my heart, I just wished it had more brains. ;-)

20. They will
I rarely share my personal life on here, but I consider it a gift for my enemies, who have yearned to see me suffer for so long. :evilgrin:

And YOU have a better week too!

25. Sorry to hear that, trekkerlass...
:hug:

Thoughts and prayers for your mom. My grandmother had hospice (in a nursing home; she had liver and lung cancer); it was a blessing.
