REFLECTION OF 2004
This could possibly be my last entry for a indefinite amount of time. I thought it fitting, being New Years Eve in all. Here is a list of my reflection of this past year.
NEW YEARS EVE 2003/2004: Had a wonderful dinner with great friends. I also had a very big fight with my friend Mike. It had been building for months. I just couldn’t take his crap any longer. My children are healthy and happy.
January 7th: Mike and I kissed and made up, after a very long week. Many
apologies made by both.
Angus decides he wants to get back into sales and find a new job.
I start going through some kind of weird emotional shit I can’t explain.
FEBRUARY: Financially we are pretty good. Not rolling in it, but good all the same.My
children are healthy and happy.
February 14th:Angus decides after three years of living together he doesn’t want
to buy into Valentines day anymore.
February 16th: I get over it.
MARCH: Angus has a lot of potential job offers and life is good. The kids are still healthy and happy.
March 6th: Angus goes into congestive heart failure, almost dies before my eyes.
March 7th: Angus is stable but not good.
March 8th: Angus is looking better, we find out he has AF (atrial flutter)
March 9th: Angus makes the Doctor release him. He has a job interview and
doesn’t want to miss it. Hey, we are talking close to 6 figures here, whats a
little HEART FAILURE right?
March 10th: Angus goes on job interview almost 3 hours away. Angus goes into
heart failure during interview. But makes it to the lobby before he passes out
and someone calls the ambulance. I get a phone call from a nurse a few
hours later. He is not doing well, I need to get there ASAP. I have no car. I
call a shuttle. I get there 4-5 hours later. They have him stable.
March 12th: The hospital releases him. He has no insurance. They tell him
to contact his local doctor.
March 27th: Cat struggles to have kittens and I have to help deliver.
We go to many doctor visits.
I struggle through angus’s depression while trying to deal with my own.
APRIL:Financially we are starting to struggle a little.I do what I can with business to keep it going and up afloat. The children are healthy and happy.
MAY: I borrow money from my family for the first time in my life. The children are healthy and happy.
May 6th: I get hit by a teenager in a big F350. Ouch.
Angus’s transmission goes in his van.
We have no car.
I can barely move the next month.
JUNE: Angus is doing a lot better. He starts looking for a job again.The children are healthy and happy.
June 5th: It has been one(?) year since the kids have seen their father.
June 7- 12th: Landlord starts asking if we can do a bunch of repairs for
her, she will knock money off the rent. We think its great, she knows we
are struggling. What a great landlord we have.
Mid June: I can sit for short amounts of time. Woo Hoo! It feels good!
I start the battle with the insurance company over the car accident.
We fix angus’s van. I now know what a transmission looks like. And I can
put one in, with help.
June 18th: School lets out for summer.
June 21st: I start my blog, hoping it will keep me sane during summer
vacation.
The neighbors are going to move. I am devastated. I will miss Rene.
The landlord starts to show up and plant lots of plants. She is acting
very strange. She keeps getting mixed up about what she asked us
to do for her. We think she might be getting Alzheimer’s.
The landlord starts reneging on rent reduction for repairs Angus has done.
