It's Just All Going Wrong

from JoeUser Forums

I feeling pretty depressed now. It seems that everything is going wrong. I learned that my mother is dieing from lung cancer and is refusing any more treatment. She's at home with a hospice worker now. It truly breaks my heart that she won't have the chemo, but I do understand and respect her wishes. From what the doctor said it doesn't sound like it would really do much good anyway.

Thanks to the slow economy and trucking business I have a bunch of past due bills and bills coming due and won't see anything resembling a paycheck for another week and a half, by which time the other bills will be past due.

The turbo blew in my truck yesterday while driving through Iowa. I had to be towed into a garage to have that fixed. This morning as I did my walk around I discovered a flat tire and had to have that fixed. Now I am sitting in Eastern Iowa watching it snow. The roads are just too dangerous to travel with a light load. There are wrecked cars and trucks everywhere.

I passed one spot where a truck had lost control and gone over the side of a bridge and onto the road below. He hit it so hard it tore the wheels off the trailer and they were laying about a quarter mile up the road. He was obviously driving too fast for the conditions.

I know this is all just the stuff of life, but sometimes it all just seems to come at you all at once and is overwhelming. Ok, ok, I know I just whining here, so sue me.

 

Maybe I just need a stiff drink.

:beer: :beer: I'll join ya. More often than not I find myself having a hard time convincing myself that sometimes things just happen. I often feel as if I am cursed and no amount of hard work, careful watch or doing things right will stop bad things from happening to me. Right now I am going thru some issues that have me on the border of losing my mind and don't know what to do.

They say that 2 positives or 2 negatives will always equal a positive so maybe both our sad stories may yeild something positive.

I don't have anything comforting to say.  Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you (and your mom).

Troubles do seem to come in bunches.  I know this has been a rough year.  I hope that the new one gets better.  And things improve soon.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this trying time.  It does seem like you are being hit from all angles at the same time.  Hugs and comforting thoughts and prayers doesn't seem like much, or enough but I hope you knowing that people do care about your mom and you will help just a little.

Your mom is dying.  You're entitled to whine and cry and be pissed off at the whole world Mason.

Ditto to what Tova said.  That alone is enough but the money and weather woes are just over the top.  I can only hope that you know that there are good things ahead for you even though it sure doesn't seem like it at the moment.

Have that drink and stay safe until the roads improve.  Here's hoping some cheer finds it's way to you ASAP.

You and your mom are in my thoughts.

Nothing wrong with wishful thinking.

Mason, haven't got much to add, except that I feel for you, hope you manage to keep your head up.

I usually read all your stuff and don't comment much, but this sucks too much to warrant no reaction - even one as feeble as this.

(Would it make you smile--just a little--to know I'm wearing the scarf you made for me as I type?  We still don't have any heat in this dump, and I've found that keeping my head and neck warm helps keep me warm all over.  It's warm and comfy and makes me feel secure in some strange, childhood way.  Thanks again, bro.)

You and your mother are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, glad to know you're getting some use out of the scarf.

Thanks folks. While I am delivering in Florida tomorrow I won't be going home. I intend to remain on the road until Christmas. Due to finances I simply can't afford to go home now and then again at Christmas and since I promised my mother I would do my best to be home for Christmas the only choice is to remain out until then. It may well be the last Christmas I get to spend with her, and while that holiday has no real meaning for me it does for her.
