OK… peacefulness is over. Panic has set in, especially since the *(&(*^ mechanic hasn’t show up yet. He promised to stop by the church by 5 and it’s now 6:30.

The tears are flowing here. I know I shouldn’t ask this but… why us????? Why is all of this happening at once? Why can’t I have at least 3 months go by between catastrophes? Why can’t I have a steady job so that we’re not living from paycheck to paycheck? People have stepped up to help and I am incredibly appreciative of them. It’s just that… everything seems to be happening to me right now.

My hospital bill for my cyst is almost $3000. The car is needing repairs and the bill is probably not going to be pretty. Alltel made a mistake and credited another person’s HUGE payment to our account, so we’ll probably have to pay back the two months of free phone service.

Why am I not freaking out? The hospital is sending us a care application (which would get the bill reduced or eliminated) and will work out a payment plan with us for what doesn’t get eliminated. The mechanic will probably work out a payment plan with us. Alltel will spread the amount we have over a few billing cycles.

It’s all going to be OK.
