Thursday, October 1, 2015

Depression has just been kicking me in the butt for the past 5 days or so. I feel like I'm hanging on by my fingernails, and I'm not making very good progress in an uphill battle.

I received the travel arrangements for our trip out to Maryland. We'll fly out Thursday the 22nd and arrive in Maryland around 11 pm. On Saturday the 24th we'll take a 5:30 pm flight out from DC and arrive back in Minneapolis about 7. Gotta love the time zone changes. At least both of them are straight flights. The flight back was originally going to fly us to Denver to change planes back to Minneapolis. That would've been wild. But it would've gotten the kids to visit another state (true, just an airport, but another state), so I was a little bummed when they did find the straight through flight. I'll just have to take the kids on trips throughout the US so that they can visit other states. I dream of one day having enough cash to do these things with them.

Wells Fargo called me and tried to scare the snot out of me about our mortgage. They said that they'd no longer be able to accept our partial payments and if we didn't get both August and September's payments paid in October, they'd ask for all the payments immediately. They told me we should look at our finances and find a way to make that happen. I was like, yeah, I'll look into that. There's no way in hell that could happen. Then they told me that I should have Nick take out money from his 401k to pay what we owe on our mortgage. That just put me into tears. Bad subject. I just said he doesn't have a retirement plan and got off the phone with them. They don't like the fact that it's going to take us 5 months to get caught back up, but they're unwilling to work with us in any other way. So we do it our way. We just keep making partial payments, and I swear, I'm going to start avoiding their phone calls. If I don't avoid their phone calls, I'm just going to repeat the same things over and over: "You'll get your payment on this day, and this is the amount that it will be."

I'm no good at being an adult lately. It's just too overwhelming for me.
