Something quite interesting happened tonight. My son and I are going through our things and trying to sort out what we can sell to raise some funds to keep the house for a little while longer. As my husband cannot play guitar any more I asked if I could sell his guitars. He said I could sell two of the older ones as he wanted his brother to have to the two really good ones he had.
I called Long and McQuade (guitar specialists) about an acoustic guitar I was wanting to sell and they were not interested at all. I browsed around looking at prices and decided to try for 100 dollars. My email inbox was flooded within a few minutes of posting the ad. Most people wanted to pay $50 or less. One guy went back and forth with me and ended up at $60.
Then I got an email from a guy who said he really would love to give this guitar a new home. He had $140 in the bank and would give it all for the guitar. When he arrived at my house he had a case for it (so it wouldn’t get cold on the way to his car) and was thrilled that he was able to buy it from me.
I don’t quite know why I so wanted to share this story with you all except just for once I had a little piece of good luck happening.

The guy who hit my car had a suspended license. It’s all over for him!
In other news my husband has caught a virus in the hospital. Similar to the Norwalk virus, it hits you by having you vomit and have diarrhea. Lovely. They are taking it very seriously in the hospital. Closing down the gift shops and scrubbing them down and I saw cleaners everywhere today. Hospitals are notorious for people getting sick. Just hope I can keep it at bay. Watching everything I do there and constantly washing my hands.
Had my first haircut today since I got the chemo curls. It was getting way out of hand. I was going to let it grow and grow but it just got too unruly and I like it way better now.
My next mammogram is in July. I am not going to dwell on it. Just mentioned it because I got the requisition in the mail.
Not much else to report for now.
When will it end?
Posted on: February 2, 2013
I am wondering when all this bad fortune in my life is going to end? My husband is now going to be spending the rest of his days in a long term care facility. My long term plans were to spend the rest of my life with him. What happened to that??
So I am in a gas station this morning and it is busy. I am on my way to visit my husband in the hospital but it is a fairly long drive and my gas is low. I have to wait in line to get to a pump.
I am parked waiting for a spot and there is a car at the pump facing me. There is the driver gassing the car up and a passenger waiting for him. The gas pump is a quick pay only, so you are supposed to pay at the pump supposedly speeding up the process. When the driver finishes putting gas in the car he goes in to the gas station to pay…….really? Ok I can live with that. What I can’t live with is when he is gone the passenger decided to lean over and put the car out of park and drive it straight into me. Hit me dead on.
He leaps out of the car and says not to call the police because no damage done and he was just trying to move the car so I can have the spot at the pump. What??
I call the police. Whilst I am on the phone the driver comes out of the gas station. Several witnesses approach him and tell him what has happened. His reaction? He jumps in the car and boots it. What??
He will get his. The police came to talk to me and I had taken down the make and model of his car and the license plate. Hit and run my friends.
I feel dizzy and sick and not sure if it is just a reaction to what happened or if something is really wrong.
Ok I am no longer wondering when I am going to have good luck. Just waiting for more bad as it seems to be the only kind of luck I am ever going to get.
I just can’t catch a break.
