Oh sweet jebus, life needs to slow down RIGHT NOW. For serious.

Problem the first:
Our house is STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Yes. We were supposed to be back in there in late August. The red tape is making me lose faith in mankind. Also, contractors? When something goes wrong, you don't just stop work and go home without CALLING ME. This is not acceptable in any situation where I am not in the hospital and therefore unable to make decisions.I have had it up to HERE with scheduling all the different people needed, in the proper order, only to have the whole thing thrown out the window because the first group just decided to not even show up.

Problem the second:
I can't listen to anymore unsolicited advice or admonishing related to any arena in my life. I just can't. I'm totally full up and fed up. I don't want to hear about how you would have done things differently, or how you know someone who did this without a hitch, and I especially don't want to hear about how I should just get firmer with the contractors. The last person to 'help' in this manner almost got our project put on permanent hiatus by threatening the contractor with a lawsuit. I cannot tell you how much that helped my and Kat's stress levels.

Problem the third:
Accomodations. We overstayed our welcome at the in-laws, and it lead to rift in the family. I've had enough. I'm not about to start arguing with them, nor start fighting. But I'm also not about to sit there and be insulted and threatened. I am a good person, and I work hard. I just can't care anymore that what I am and I do is not good enough.

We then moved to my mom's for two weeks, until my allergies were acting up (I was starting to swell), and we got news that we might not be able to move back home in early December. Being sick indefinitely is not an option. So after scouring the interwebs, I found an all-inclusive, furnished apartment for 1400/month. Believe me, for short-term renting, this is a STEAL.

Problem the fourth:
Now we have a new problem: Money. We have none, and we have to buy food for us and gas for the car. And when I get a part-time job, we will need bus tickets. And we will have to renew prescriptions soon. And we are going to have to haul laundry to the laundromat. I have no idea how any of this is going to happen.

Problem the fifth:
I haven't been able to make doctor's appointments for myself, and they are long overdue. I need to have my hormone levels balanced so that I can function properly.

However, there have been good things happening, too:
- We have our own place. This means we are allowed to have social lives again. This is very much needed.
- It also means I have a baby-proof area.
- And don't have to worry about my allergies killing me.
- I've subscribed to Skype, so I don't have to use my cellphone and rack up minutes. If you want to talk to Kat or I, just call my cell, let it ring two or three times, and we'll call you back. We just can't get our phone hooked up because SaskTel wants a $250 deposit. See the fourth problem above.

Linky is crawling all over me, so I need to attend to him.

Current mood: stressed.
