Well let's see dad young died the 13th, so I have made it through 15 days without completely losing my mind...there have been some very rough patches, but so far so good...considering the situation were all left in now.I shall deal with that at another time. I have continued to go to work and have almost fullfilled a week of service with no days off...PHEW! I know mentally and emotionally I would probably be better of having more time off..as I have lost 2 dads in such a short span of time....but the bill collectors dictate that money must be rolling in so I persist with vigilance. At work I am also able to take my mind off the fact dad is no longer here, as he had nothing whatsoever to do with my job.Then the time comes to get home and I once more get smacked with the reality, as I can't call him and share any of my internet found tidbits, or call just beacuse and listen to him ramble on about what his latest annoyance is. Mom Young is holding up much better than thought, though the more the financial truth comes to light the worse she seems to be getting. She is from the old days and as a wife she held the possition of shop for household items , cook , clean, tend the kids..and that was it....she has no knowledge or clue about bills , and other spending or costs...she wasn't even aware of dad's spending habbits...which without disclosing much I can tell you was quite a sizeable sum.My husbands on loan to his mother as all these details get sorted along with getting the property emptied and sold.I have just arranged with my boss to work thursdays fridays saturdays and sundays, in exchange i get mondays tuesdays and wednesdays off...these 3 days a week are temporairy until things are a bit more sorted.I think my husbands spent well over a months wages in petrol alone, back and forth from here to there and back again..taking care of things.From what i understand 90 some odd percent of cost on petrol here in the uk is TAX....geesh! We pay about £1.07 per liter, it takes about 4 1/2 liters to fill an English Gallon, so that's £4.81 to get a UK gallon, or £5.81 for an American gallon, to convert that into dollars £5.81 = $11.65 per American sized gallon! Hope that puts it into perspective how much my husband has spent on travels alone in the last few months....thousands of miles to do his duty as a son.Anyways, enjoy the new music, it's my fav gal Avril!

Well I am glad you are ok. and yes the gas prices are really bad. For us ours are getting bad too.Not near yours but for us are bad. Just keep your chin up and keep plugging along and don't go to bed angry at each other ok? I know it must be stressful right now and will be getting worse soon. Just keep loving each other and remember you have friends out here who want you to be ok.

Hi Sis! Just glad you are still here. I hope things get better soon. I know how hard things have been for you and I think of you every day. Just remember we love ya. Take care sweetie.
