I Am Gutted

When we pulled into my driveway today, I was gutted to see my picnic table has now been stolen! I sat there too hurt to cry. I felt hollow inside. I work and scrimp and have nice things. Then, renters who will never work for what I had, steal it. And, I cannot afford to even buy a chair to sit in the yard.

I had just come from an MRI of my heart and had bad news on that front. It seems too hard to even live. They had a stack of masks and gloves that a patient could have. I got a mask and a pair of gloves. All the patients were allowed inside, but none of the people who brought them were allowed to enter.

    1. Anne,
      Thank you. Tommy seems to want to berate me every night--3rd night in a row.

    1. I am sorry Tommy wasn't allowed to come in with you for the MRI. I have a friend who has to have emergency surgery today on a broken leg and knee (she jumped off a horse (instead of being bucked off) and broke her leg in the worst possible way according to her surgeon) and her husband is not allowed to be in the hospital with her. When he took her to the ER he had to wait in the car as they wouldn't let him in even though he is an EMT. Crazy times.

    2. Rachel,
      While I would like him in the hospital with me, I worry even more about his having to sit in the parking lot for 8 hours when I go in for test. I will pack him lots of food and drink for his ordeal. I certainly do not need his blood sugar dropping and then driving me.

  3. I'm so sorry, Linda. I wish people would think how their actions can be so cruel.

      Thanks. He does not care. I cannot do the same thing back to him.

    1. I did feel better and got a good night' sleep because I had a stern and stern talk with him about disrupting my mind after a nice day any day.

    1. Jan,
      I just want another one! I, too, hate thieves! Yes, losing house, hostility from other bloggers, needling from trolls, health issues generally, and then Tommy piles on with his problems with me. It is getting to be too much to live. I got one good night last night due to me telling his criticism was too much. Thanks.

  8. That's terrible! I don't know how people can steal things from other people. To me, it seems like the thing they steal would be cursed or something and bring them bad luck. Also, sorry about your MRI results. I hope it is something that can be fixed! Take care!

    1. CAL,
      I will put a pox on the things stolen. Next week, I will know for sure. But, explorations bother me in terms of being scary.

  9. Ah, Linda, it's a long time since I lost the will to live but I remember it.
    Have a good cry, do something you enjoy, get some more good sleeps.
    Take care

    1. kylie,
      It is a lost, sad, and lonely feeling. I cry often now. I have to tell Tommy to not fuss at night, again. Maybe then I will get more sleep.

    1. Urspo,
      It seems these thieves will not let up until they have all that is in my yard. The hurt was and is still exquisite.
