Adding Insult to Injury

People are stealing my things. They took my three nice lawn chairs! Next night--the lawnmower. I left here at 9am and got home at 9:30 pm, and I am dead. Finding food is hard and am out of money. My left foot hurts soooo bad. I went to two doctors today trying to get my meds for diabetes. No luck. Injection froze in motel refrigerator. Milk and water were frozen, which meant injection pen was, too. Pharmacist said it would do no good. When I complained about the stained sheets, I got a set of sheets with different stains. Complaining about the mildewed shower curtain got me a shower curtain with new mildew stains. I had to listen to more platitudes today. I actually started crying right in front of the person and another time on the phone when a platitude was offered to make me feel better. I want to read blogs now, and then go t bed.

  1. Read blogs and go to bed sounds like a fine plan! I hope you don't have to go hungry (or unmedicated)

    2. What is wrong with your foot?

    3. kylie,
      It is swollen, mainly the top. I think it is arthritis and staying on my feet too much.

    4. Oh, yes, that would do it! Just another casualty of the situation

  2. Can you stay with your kids or Tommy?

  3. Yes, do your kids know of your situation? I would think they'd want to do something to help you out in this awful situation? You don't talk about them much, so maybe you don't have a good relationship with them? Hang in there.

  4. I was wondering too if you could stay with Tommy. That hotel sounds awful for you. I'm sorry you have to go through all this.

    1. one,
      It is nasty. He let me stay one night.

    2. Why wouldn't he let you stay longer? I mean if he sleeps in his recliner & his bed is empty, why can't you stay there. You'd have a safe place with someone there with you - you could keep an eye on each other. And I cannot fathom why you children would not step in here to help their mother out. What is wrong with them?

  5. Please call your kids Linda. I was also hoping Tommy could be hosting you for a while. You can support each other too. You need help with your diabetes. I am so worried about you.

  6. I agree with everyone else. Please call your kids or talk to Tommy about what is next. I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this. We are all worried about you.

    1. Rachel,
      Kids know. Tommy know and cannot get me out of this.

  7. How terrible! I know you don't want advice or prayers so I thought quotes might help. From C.S. Lewis--You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.
    Sending my best thoughts.

  8. On Monday can you find ou9t if you can move a trailer to your property, and get it hooked up while you figure out rebuilding? There are some travel trailers for sale in your area that are reasonable in price (craigslist). This might be the best option, and way cheaper than fleabag motels. Maybe we could do a go-fund-me to purchase it?
