I am having a dark day.

This is what is going on. It is more of a GD type of thing so that is why I posted it in there http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021942949

But needless to say It has been a disheartening day for me. I am sick of living with the rug just inches away from slipping away. I want my happiness back. I had so much going for me and my husband. now...

...breathe. Please.

I know what you're doing and it's not helping you, at all. Stress, overthinking, obsessing, is all bad for you. Try to get your mind on better things until the facts are all in. Try to find a positive alternative in case things don't work out.

There are things that we have little or no control over, but we survive somehow. Your story gives us all perspective, so I thank you for sharing. We need the reality checks.

Now, about breathing...in and out.

That is why i need a job. I have seen a lot of motels that do monthly rent. If something happens and I have a job we can do that if something else goes wrong. If we both get jobs soon we can pay the rent here ourselves.

I keep trying to stay calm for Dave's sake and health. Not easy'

But thank you for your support Wait Wut.

Maybe my story can give him more ammo to show why the reps must back his plan!

A girl can dream right!?

sending you hugs, light, blessings and hoping that a good job comes your way quickly.

It makes me sick the way veterans are treated in this country. No veteran should be homeless or jobless. If there is any kind of economic stimulus, employment for veterans needs to be top priority.

You would be surprised how many vets and whole families are sleeping in dark allies right now. And I so NOT want to join them again.

And I am sending as much good vibes as i can try and muster for the others that have got that newsletter today. I know they must be just as scared.
