Thanks for that, Winterbright. Sometimes you have to look beyond your own pool to find the good luck.

I hate to write this post. I have listed so many bad things is such a short time that it seems like overload to add any more. There has to come a point where people just stop believing that all of this could happen to one person. Believe me, I am telling everything, exactly as it has occurred.

On Tuesday I stopped at the credit union to get a printout of my account. I knew that I had blown through the money I had transferred into checking to cover the move and the preparations in the new house. It didn't seem right because I had been keeping careful track of what I was spending.

Well, it seems our resourceful thief had taken more than just Wakana's computer, camera, social security card and passport. He also took my box of checks. Starting on the day of the fire he started wiping out my accounts. I now have a net worth in the negative numbers.

This last straw seems to have broken the camel's back. I am sunk in depression and gloom. I live on the verge of tears and flinch from everything, expecting it to be another attack.

Oh, and I don't think I mentioned that Wakana's car broke down the other day and may cost upwards of $1,000 to fix.
