Mini Disasters
ARG, as usual, I can't ever catch a break around here. Ex showed up to get his tax info and of course, he didn't bring back any of the things he took from me in his “oh, you're at work, let's pilfer your belongings” raids. Of course, I got the whole “I forgot” line of bs. SSDD. It's his way of punishing me for not giving him the farm info for a tax break on the 401k money he cashed in that I didn't get any of. He just can't understand that I won't sign my name to a tax liability that isn't mine. Besides, he already caused me enough financial trouble this year. AFTER we were divorced, he tried to use my credit to buy a truck! I got the denial letter in the mail and a week later, a collection agency hit me with a wage garnishment from a credit card default way back during my coal mine injury days. Like I'm not having a hard enough time making it on 20 hrs a week for minimum wage, now I have a wage garnishment to deal with. Gee Mike, thanks for that.
To top this grand experience off, I lost the tensioner pulley on the truck. The darn bolt broke. So, now I have no way to work today. The guys at work got me a pulley but the drill broke while trying to get the bolt out and now it's pouring rain. I tried to get a hold of a neighbor whom I know has a drill but he isn't home. I found a way to get to work but no ride home so it looks like it will be a 15 mile walk for me tonite. Yay Rah. Gotta do what I gotta do I guess.
So, I went out to the barn, did chores, sat down on a bucket and had a good cry. The goats all swarmed me to comfort me. I love those goats. They are such sweet animals, even when they're tearing stuff up and eating my rose bushes. Loyal, compassionate and full of personality. How could ya not love goats? Of all the creatures on this farm, those goats are the very best part.
I guess nobody wants to get in on the raffle for the cammo afghan? I'm going to draw on Friday, the 21st if anybody wants in on it.
Until then, I'm holding my breath, trying to not have any more disasters.
