I returned home to discover a new round of troubles. A letter from the Sheriff - an actual warrant for failure to pay my state taxes to be paid in full this next month - or what? I guess I will be arrested for being poor. My biggest fear as a child was passing the "poor house" in Cincinnati - I knew that was where people went who couldn't pay for their livelihood so they had to live and work there. I was afraid I would somehow end up there. Wow, I guess that is how my life is turning out. I'm so poor that I can't pay my bills. I can't even afford to eat. I have some stuff stocked up here in the house so I am okay at the moment but still....
In addition, the gauges in my car have finally stopped working. I have to do something about that because I can't go driving anywhere without knowing how fast I am going or whether or not the gas tank is full....Now that I can put on the credit card. Yeah, I know, that sounds like a delay but my mother will pay that bill for me. I owe her so much when this house finally sells.
About that, it has stalled out. The garage has to be re-built, and now, with bringing all the stuff back from Kentucky, I have to re-arrange the inside of the house and get it show ready once again. I just feel as though I am at a total loss - plus, am I looking at being taken to jail?
I will call the Sheriff's office on Monday - with dread and trepidation in my heart - but I really don't know how to come up with that kind of money in one lump sum.
Also, He was in Mass this morning - not his usual time at all - which is why I get up and go early. Anyway, he was alone and I didn't keel over but he went up for communion. What has happened?? Has he finally gone to confession? Has he sent the girl back overseas? (She obviously wasn't in church with him.) I just don't know. Anyway, I am in serious need of prayers. Help me, Lord.
