Happy Samhain/Halloween & A Thank You & an Update

So I've been out of the loop with things for a while, and some of you expressed concern. Thank you.

More things have happened since then, but pieces are starting to fall back into place for me. It's really too long and dramatic to get into more details, but let's just say my dad-in-law has been in the hospital, my grandpa had a stroke, my employer is losing clients and making layoffs, and other things that are minor are afloat around me. My brother's pregnant girlfriend & my littlest brother both also had nasty viruses the past week. The list goes on. This October has been like whoa, super tough on me.

HOWEVER.

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and everything that comes your way is something you can handle.
And now, there seems to be a light looming around the corner.

My hubby's doing better, and my other brother's face is much better - almost 100% healed now. So yeah, things are starting to improve and I'm hopeful.

With that in mind, it's Halloween tomorrow, and the Pagan new year. May it be blessed, and may you all stuff yourselves silly with Twix and Skittles. ;-)

This message brought to you by bad karma

I’m a total believer in karma. Whatever you do, comes back to you, whether it’s in this life or your next. Yes, I said next, because yes, I also believe in reincarnation. So after the trials and tribulations of my life–especially the past month–I’m pretty sure that I was absolutely horrid in my former lives. With the amount of karma I’m paying off this life time, I’m equating myself to that of Hitler or WORSE.

Hubby attempted suicide two weeks ago, but I was able to discover him in time. He was finally discharged from the hospital Monday. It’s been an up-and-down battle with his depression and health issues the past five years, and I’m so aggravated that he took himself off of his meds SIX months ago. I am 100% supporting him right now, but I’ve already warned him that this was the last straw for me and he better get his health, both mental and physical, back in order or I’m done. I just can’t do it anymore. The doctor put him out of work an extra three weeks, so we’re back in a financial hole. We were almost caught up. By the time he applies for his disability and it gets approved and sent out, he’ll have already been back to work.

Then there’s my little brother. I care for all four of my brothers (ages 17, 17, 14 & 13) because their dad & my mom are pretty much worthless to them. Anyway, he had a small cold last week but it cleared up in a few days. Then on Sunday he had a cramp under his chin, swallowed and then lost the use of the entire right side of his face. He doesn’t tell me until yesterday when I asked why his face was so droopy. Take him to the doctor this morning and lo and behold, it’s Bell’s Palsy. Hopefully we caught it in time, but if not, he has to see a neurologist. We go back in 10 days for a re-check. Fingers are crossed.

I’m also struggling spiritually and mentally right now. Talk about exhausted. Sleep is highly underrated. Seriously.

I’ve been so busy, that I haven’t been to the rescue to help out in a few weeks. I just don’t seem to have enough time, though I enjoy doing that the most out of all my obligations – it relaxes me. There’s also a surprise party for the twins this Saturday for their 18th birthday, and can’t for the life of me figure out how to get them out of the house for an hour. And the cat peed on the couch this morning because someone shut the door to the cat box room. That’s going to be fun to clean later. Sigh.
I better be paying off all my karmic debts this lifetime, or the powers that be need to ease up on me. I think I’m going to bust soon.

Thank you, SNL.
