Title: IT COULD BE WORSE

Blog Entry: HELL-o Boils and Ghouls, yes I'm back and hoping next year will be better then this was. And yes, I know it could be worse. Let's start with getting ready for the party. I was working at Spirit Halloween and spare time was limited. So I developed the I'll do what I can and there's always next year. Bad attatude, for me anyway. The grave yard went from the whole front and side of the house to a lousy square in the back yard. The mausaleum didn't get built, my carpenter was sick. The couple who was supposed to get married, didn't. I talked to the groom but the bride kept putting it off. And everyone knows if the couple doesn't talk to me TOGETHER I don't marry them. I had a problem with my blood pressure, again. And had what I thought was a heart attack, only to find out it was stress related. My daughter helped me set things up for the party, because I was all doped up and could care less. Of course everyone had a great time, so I'm told. I vegatated in a chair. Next we closed down Spirit and I realized I was so wrapped up with work, trying to do the party, trying to decorate the yard, that NOW I'm unemployed. And because I didn't work last year, I can't get unemployment! So I put apps in every where, so far nothing. Next I smelt gas in the laundry room. I pulled the dryer out and sure enough, there was a leak. Searched everywhere for a cut off and couldn't frind one. The gas company came out, told me the hook up was not to code and they shut off ALL my gas. Meaning NO heat. It seems, back in 1974, when my husband put the waher and dryer upstairs for his mother, they didn't put in a shut off valve. We couldn't afford $850.00 to fix the problem, so they capped the line till we can. Next, my daughter went to meet some friends and parked her car with valet parking. When I went to go to the store, I noticed it didn't sound right. So I checked under the hood, some wires were chewed through. She called a machanic friend of hers who checked it out. Yes, wires where chewed through but he showed her the real problem. Some one had cut her fuel injector line and he believed it had been recently. The wires where cut straight accross and where still clean. Another chunck of change, we really didn't have. What could happen next you ask, my daughter lost her job. As for our Thanksgiving, we're still thankful. There are familys far worse off then we are. And we know there's always next year. So.....to all my dear weird fiends, HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING. And may you all be blessed! Tons of love Dristin
