Just because we don't already have enough stress in our lives...
Hubby has had his driver's license suspended due to some stupidity on behalf of his business partner.
The work cars are in Hubby's name and his business partner copped a speeding fine on a double-demerit weekend - 6 points off his license.
The bill was due while we were away in England and instead of filling in a stat dec to get the fine changed to his own name, he paid it - which meant the points were taken off Hubby's license, bringing Hubby's total demerits for the past 3 years to 12 - instant license suspension! Gaah!!
We're trying to fix this but with the limited working days until it comes into effect in January, I dunno what's going to happen.
Hubby needs the car to run his business!
Hubby's good at not getting angry at people but I'm furious at the stupidity/lazyness of his business partner. Surely someone with a degree can read a basic form that says "Do not pay this fine if the person named above was not the driver at the time of the incident"?!
A tenant in one of our properties hasn't paid rent for 6 weeks. I'm a reasonable person and I understand he's broken up with his girlfriend and lost his job and must be depressed or something. But that doesn't mean he can mess up my place that I own and not even pay anything at all to be there. There was no attempt to pay a little at a time until he found a new job - and the place smells like piss. Why? It's a nice place in a really good area - why should I let him stay there for free while we're really broke right now? So the little fucker can add a tenant's blacklisting and an eviction to his list of Christmas presents. Even if we claim the bond, it wont cover the lost rent or cost to clean up the place - and it's not easy to get tenants this time of year - most people would wait until January at this point. *sigh*
Hubby is still really down about his Dad. Maybe even deeper than before as the knowledge sinks in that he wont see him ever again. It's so sad and I feel so useless.
Makes me think...is life going to be permanently stressful?
Will there be some point in the future where I'm not riding on a sea of drama?
No?
Okay, as long as I know.
I can deal with that.

Jezzy,
Not to sound like a preacher, for God himself knows "that ain't me!", you have to remember that you never get any more than you can handle, even if you think you can't. The big boss in the sky knows a lot more than even a Phd.
So far as your renter goes, think outside the box. You have just recieved a chauffeur! Have him drive hubby, and you 24/7 in exchange for unpaid rent. I assure you he will find a way to pay rent after a week or two of that1 Trust me.
Other than that hang in there , you are tough, and you and hubby have a love that will prevail!
I think drama is universal, but I'm sorry to hear about yours.
Yesterday was the five-year anniversary of my Dad's death, and even though it was a death that brought closure and, in many ways, good things as well as bad, I still miss him. You're right about that feeling of realization that you've had your last conversation.
I wish you both well.
