OFF THE GRID FOR A FEW DAYS

okay, so I’m going to be brutally honest here and hopefully I don’t lose any followers over this, but I have to get all this crap off my chest. My head is going to explode.

 

My husband had a great job in January and financially, we were starting to recover. Our bills were being paid, we had two cars, life was good.

 

Until the day he had a heart attack.  His cardiologist told him to make some life changing decisions or he was going to be dead next time…….omg!! He told him his job and driving to California week after week was too much for his 56 year old body. So after he recovers he tells his boss he can longer travel and you  know what happens..he gets fired…….

 

Our lives have been some spinning out of control ever since……No pay check since the beginning of February…..he was doing some repair work in the garage to get some cash but it was never enough…….a couple of weeks ago my mini van was repode……..

 

The week after our electric was shut off.  My husband goes to his friend next door to borrow the money to get the electric turned back on, which we were very grateful that he helped us out.  Well, after a week, the guy starts texting my husband many many times a day……”where’s my money” and my husband keeps telling him as soon as we get it we will pay you back.  This goes on and gets worse and worse everyday. He threatens to run us out of the neighborhood and how he is going to ruin us……..well, my husband got a new job two weeks ago. AWESOME!! We are on the road to recovery right? Nope!! Before he can even get his first paycheck, the neighbor is relentless and my husband has another episode with his heart and I call 911……

 

Three days later he comes home but not before the neighbor is texting him while he is in the hospital about to have surgery.  Meanwhile, we get served a five day notice from our landlord who just happens to be good friends with the neighbor.  Our May rent still has not been paid, even though we explained about the health issues, and as soon as Brian got his check, we would get caught up…..yup, not good enough!! We went to court today and got evicted.  Then after court my husband and two kids go to the grocery store and when they come out of the store, the car is gone…..repode.

 

I’m sick over the whole thing……..luckily my husband’s boss is very nice and is helping us out.  Saturday we will be moving into a three bedroom apartment and regrouping…….Our rent will be much cheaper, they have four swimming pools there, and our kids have friends that live there also.  We are fighters, we will get through this and recover.  We aren’t bad people, I promise……..we still plan on paying back the psycho neighbor and the landlord, we just ran out of time………

 

Anyway, I’m sorry this is so long, but I needed to get it all out.  I’m a strong woman but the heart can only take so much.  I don’t know how long it will take cable to come and hook up our internet and all that so I might be missing for a few days……..

 

I hope you all have a good weekend and thanks for reading if you still are

 

I will be back……..
