I Can't Wait For 2019 To Be Done.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Mon, 02 Dec 2019 20:32:07 GMT

The end of 2019 can't come soon enough. DH died the end of May, of course the worst thing that happened this year.

My car suddenly became a money pit since he died. Put over 2 grand in that. When the next thing happened with itI said to he** with it and am selling it.

I am almost 2 weeks out from a knee replacement. I hurt. I'm tired, can't drive or do a heck of a lot yet.

This afternoon my son came to plow us out and went in the basement. He came in and announced the fuel tank is dripping oil. Big puddle on the floor. The tank was just filled last week. I paid over $200 in September to have the furnance serviced for winter and have everything checked.

I'm done. If 1 more thing goes wrong I will lose what mind I have left.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 You have had a year from Hades, for sure. You seem like a very strong woman....I'm reading what your year was like and thinking, "I would have probably thrown in the towel by July." You are almost through with this year full of heartache and trials.....I sincerely wish for you peace, good health and enjoyable times with your daughter and your friends and family in the new year.

Ha, I win! A death, 2 more deaths (unexpected, but they were in their 90s), and a surgery in 11 days. Not much of a Thanksgiving this year.

We are going with the theory that bad things can NOT come in more than fours.

@alicedee Thanks. I've always thought of myself as a pretty tough broad but I'm at my limit. Of course it is all on my shoulders to handle this *rap.

I forgot my washer went too. Not terrible in the scheme of things but I more to add to the pile.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 @Still Raining So sorry to hear. I too can't wait for 2019 to be done. I was diagnosed with melanoma in September and a big section of my upper arm is now missing. I asked the doctor before she carved me up if she did skin grafts and she said no, not for this particular case and that it would take about a year to heal. I sincerely doubt it will heal at 100% ever and will always be looking carved out to some degree. I sometimes lay on it when I'm changing positions at night and it immediately wakes me up. The doctor said I shouldn't complain because it was caught in time. Gee, thanks doctor for telling me I shouldn't complain for being disfigured for probably the rest of my life.

I can say from experience, all come around the same time when we can least afford and emotionally handle all of them, but somehow we get through. It's all part of life here on earth. Usually there is a reprieve between these events and things do get better.

I'll remember you in my prayers for strength to get through this.

So, hang in there.

Oh, my GOODNESS! I am so sorry that all this is happening to you. Condolences on your DH's passing. May your knee and your body strengthen. Sometimes it seem that things pile up and we don't think it will get better. Some things will get better soon. Other challenges tell us that life has a new normal -- and that is hard. Take on one challenge at a time is what people advise. ALSO, ask for help. Farm out work and farm out worrisome details to find solutions as much as you can. May you be strenghthened in body, mind and spirit. Be blessed, be blessed, BE BLESSED.

Oh yes, I can relate. I quit counting the number of things that have given up the ghost since my husband died eighteen months ago. And as @Foxxee said, often at the same time. Some were things he had put off because, as I now know, he wasn't feeling well. Other things were just normal repairs or replacements that happen periodically. But it's different when you have to deal with it all yourself.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 - I understand completely.

2019 has been a real winner here also, as was the end of 2018. And I am NOT one of those who believes that we won't be given more than we can handle. Things can, and do, take their toll.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Oh dear, you have had enough for one year, that's for sure. It's harder when you have to manage everything yourself without your DH too, I'm sure. I'm glad you at least have your DD there. You will get through all this, and you'll feel stronger once you can get around normally again. Hang in there......this too shall pass.

I totally agree. Can't wait for 2019 to say goodbye.

I had 3 medical issues all within 6 to 8 weeks time. One being skin cancer

again. Still recovering from that. Too many sunburns as a young kid. Pay

the price now even though I wear sunscreen for years. Sure does catch

up with you.

I sure hope 2020 is a better year for all of us!

Hope things turn around and you have a wonderful 2020.

Ann1989, I would rather be disfigured and ALIVE! You're fortunate.

@CrazyKittyLvr2

Many that live a whole bunch of decades have heart breaking and terrible years after years after years. Somehow they have managed to live a good/happy and loving life.

I've read about some of your terrible life issues, and 1 in particular is probably the worst that could happen to anyone. The way I look at life is not how many bad things that have happened, but how I will deal and have dealt with them. That combined with making the good and great things in my life my top priority.

For me I have never given much thought to "why me", as that to me is a negative. For this optimist that is very counterproductive. I hope 2020 is a better year for you.

Everything in 2019 for my wife and myself are not some individuals idea of perfection, we have come through it stronger and still enjoying our lives.

My dear one, what a year you have endured. I pray for comfort, peace and healing.

I predicted a lousy year...and i was right!!

Saying a prayer for the suffering that you've endured, @CrazyKittyLvr2, and all the others on the thread whose year was terrible. Wishing for peace for you and a 2020 full of good things, happy surprises, and healing.

Re: I Can't Wait For 2019 To Be Done.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Mon, 02 Dec 2019 22:40:07 GMT

May we all have a much better 2020. I think we all know that bad things happen, sadly some endure more than others. It's the all at one time thing that wears on you.

@hckynut I have never asked "why me?" Why not me, I am no better than anyone else and don't expect my life to run smoothly. Life can throw what it will at me but a little time in between stuff would be appreciated.

I can't wait for this year to be over, either.

I won't list my woes, but suffice it to say, I am DONE with 2019.
