This is NOT a happy day

So here I am, feeling pretty morose right now. The truck is acting up again, the resevoir for radiator overlow on the Escort is not in the best of shape (the neck leaks badly under the cap ... we tried epoxy but it isn't holding too well), and a newish one would run $35 we don't have right now. The truck is probably just the catalytic converter acting up again, but it's run great for a week and now this. I am honestly at the end of my rope. With all we have had to do with the truck and now having to replace my car, and trying to sell the Aveo since the tranny went out for what we can get for it ... we are tap city on funds, but looking to have to move into the city (bleah) to be reasonable walking distance to work. A mile is about as far as we dare be from work right now, but finding something we can afford that is pet-friendly, becase we aren't getting rid of the furkids, and which will work with us on the deposit ... well, it's a bit of a pain in the butt right now.

I am grateful for what we have, just stressed out and scared that something is going to go horribly wrong and we will lose everything. I am just THAT stressed. But chores are done, I need to call Mom, we have to get showers in for work, we have to go later to try to limp the truck back to the house, dinner and dishes have to be done, I have to do some writing and work on the store and I want to post ads for the store everywhere on facebook sales groups and business promo groups that I am on, and the books on author groups to generate some funds. If I thought that a gofundme account would help us raise the cash to at LEAST get a place in town and get moved, I would do it in a heartbeat and beg people to send me money. I may do that anyhow, just to get the funding together for a rental, deposit and potential pet deposit, plus renting a truck to move our stuff (assuming the pickup does not want to cooperate!)

Time to call Mom and get busy on what I can. Hugs and love all ... this is going to be another tough week, I can see. Sheesh.
