Why me?

[caela]

I know that sounds whiney for a thread title but I'd seriously like to know "Why me?". Who did I damage in some way to have karma come up and bite me so thoroughly in the ass this week????

First, a raise I was counting on didn't go through on my check like it was supposed to so now I have to go and fight with HR on monday.

Second, my Grandfather died on Wednesday morning so I've spent and emotionally, and physically, draining week up with my family. The only bright spot in any of the preparations for the funeral (which was this morning) was my daughter. Her giggling and smiles were a reminder of the good things in life despite the sadness of the life we'd just lost.

Third, I get home after the funeral and find that my apartment has been broken into. Nothing taken (hell nothing looks like it was even touched!) but the part of the door that used to be around my deadbolt is shredded and I am now spending the night in my lounge at work since I have to work tomorrow anyway.

Fourth, I now have to find a new apartment FAST and don't actually have enough money handy for first month's rent and a deposit so I'm hoping my family will float me a loan if they can afford it.

I am grateful that Peyton and I weren't there when the apartment was broken into and that she is still up at my Mother's (plan was for Mom to watch her while I was working tomorrow and then bring her home tomorrow evening) because I don't know where we would have gone if she'd been with me. I'd have figured out something but it would have taken a lot more work than my just coming up to my hospital and camping out in the lounge.

~sigh~

Can things be better next week please????

Hey

Sorry to hear about the break in. Of course the family will floay ya a loan. That's what families do. Move before it snows, again! Good luck.

Sorry to hear that Caela. Just focus on the baby. That's what I do.

When life sucks, I remember what's really important.

Good luck dear.

Oh honey! I'm sorry to hear about all that, it never rains but it pours eh?

Just hang on in there, and you know where I am if you want to talk.

Big hugs for you! I wish you a much better week next week.

My children have gotten me through some vey rough times. Their humor and smiles, hugs and sweet innocence brighten up even my worse days.

Very sorry to hear about your sucky week, but I'll send some positive vibes your way for your upcoming move. Maybe they'll help, maybe not - but at least they'll be sent. (I hate moving, btw. Rates right up there with root canals and unanesthetized surgery. Hope yours goes a lot better than a lot of mine have!)

Thank you everyone for the good thoughts! Things are starting to look up. My brother called and will be able to float me the loan I need so I can move as soon as I find a new place. I'll be spending my breaks tomorrow making phone calls and probably visit a couple of places after work and then I am going up to my mom's to see my baby and spend Tuesday with her since it's my day off. Wednesday and Thursday will have me hitting up more apartment complexes and Friday will have me back at mom's to see both my baby and my brother that is coming home on leave.

~hugs~ for everyone, thank you again!!!

You think that's bad? I almost jumped off a bridge last week, ended up in Vancouver with no provisions for a roof over my head, slept on the street and a whole bunch of other shit and then suddenly re-appearing in Edmonton and then having yourself go to the hospital... uh...yeah. I'll stop.

~hugs~ for everyone, thank you again!!!

You're quite welcome.
