What a start to a week.....

In the past 24 hours:
1- heard of an old friend from high school who died in a car accident along with her 7 year old daughter

2 - My brother in law hit a pedestrian who bolted out into the street out of nowhere. He was not at fault. The 20 year old guy is in the hospital and he thought he was covered w/car insurance and is not.

3 - I had a buyer for my house bail on me. I already purchased another home and I am set to move in June so it's imperative that I sell my house.

4 - my ex boyfriend called and is coming to get his belongings this week. We broke up 2 months ago and I have not seen or spoken to him since. It was not a pleasant break up - I am very nervous to see him.

ugh. I know people have it far worse, and I hate to even complain....it's just been a bad week overall. Thanks for letting me vent.

    That is a shitty, shitty week. Sorry about all of that. It is all perspective. Sure other people have it worse in many senses but this is what you are dealing with.

    Oh man, that is a shitty week. Mine's not as bad but pretty bad- heard today that my grandfather is not expected to make it much longer. He's old and has been sick so it's not totally unexpected, but it still sucks. My grandmother passed away very unexpectedly in October and ol' Grandad is my last Grandparent...Losing relatives sucks so much, I wish people could live forever.
    Excess in moderation.

    speaking of october, I am really hoping my grandmother, who has been very ill recently, makes it through next october with no troubles. There seems to be a weird pattern in my family of births and deaths around that time. I was born on the same day in october that my uncle died. Today I found out that my brother is having a baby with his fiance and the baby is due in october. I just hope there isn't some weird thing going on and we just get the baby and no negative events.

    yes!

    No one died, and I am thankful that nothing truly awful like that happened...but a bunch of shitty and expensive things happened to us this week. And I have pink eye, an ear infection and a sinus infection.

    Ugh. I just totally vented in this thread and I didn't even bother to sympathize with the (arguably) much worse stuff you're dealing with this week. I'm sorry, I'm just disgruntled right now. :(

    I hope things are on an upswing starting tomorrow, and I'm really sorry about your friend and her daughter. :(

    Yeah...all that stuff sucks...and it's hugely shitty what happened to your b-i-l...but (sorry to sound like a hag) it didn't happen to you, and there's NOTHING you can do about it. It sucks and it's terrible, but sure, be supportive and all that, of course, but try not to take it on... with your house - the right buyer will come along...things have a way of falling into place on their own...

    As for your friend and her daughter...That's a tough one...you're going to feel what you're going to feel..and be a pal to yourself and let out those emotions. It was a horrendous and tragic thing to happen....

    But Cutback is right...you get to see Ed's concerts soon....

    I mean, I've got issues at work - big stuff - and sometimes is holds me down, but then I remember that I'm going to a bunch of concerts in three weeks and I get to meet a bunch of other PJ fans and make new friends...It's a groovy time to be alive... and two weeks ago or so, I was thinking of running out in traffic to try to divert my attention from all the work stuff....but getting the tix to see Eddie - MUCH better way to cope

    Hang in there and focus on the fun you're going to have very soon...and yes, in all the stress and tragedy, it's OK to do that (cost me about $1,000 in therapy to fully understand that and get over the guilt)...

    Cheers,
