Life's not fair sometimes.

1 minute read time.

I'm having one of those days today when life just doesn't seem fair.  Husband went back to work today after the Christmas break.  He's been looking forward to it.  He cut his hours down last year to look after me and today was supposed to be a new start for him.  So what happens?  He finds out he's losing his job in April, him and all his colleagues. 

Mum has been having trouble with her eyes and she's now found out she needs a cataract operation, which is quite a worry at her age.  That is if she ever gets to the top of a very long waiting list.  Mum's been upset lately, a good friend of hers has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  It upset me too.  She's a lovely lady and was very supportive to me with my cancer last year.  She's only just lost her husband, goodness knows how she's going to cope. 

It's not just me feeling life is unfair.  Some of my friends seem to be going through a particularly rough time.  One had her house flooded over Christmas, another had a family bereavement and a third found out her husband has Alzheimers. 

There is also something wrong with the thermostat on the fridge, the oven isn't working properly and we need a new part for the boiler.  Not normally a problem but the household finances aren't great due to me not being able to work for 9 months with my cancer.  It's beginning to feel as if someone up there doesn't like me very much.

Something nice has to happen soon because I don't know what I have done to deserve all this.  All I know is that nothing nice will be happening tomorrow because I am going to the Dentist.

    My Mum is 91 and is having a cataract done in 2-3 months time and my Dad is 96 and he had one of his done last year and was fine so you can cross that one off your list lovely girl XXX

    We have heard awful things happening around us but it seems that we are 'of an age' when things start to happen to our friends.

    Hubbies Aunty said once that "old age isn't for the feint hearted" How right is that !

    Hubbie who is the worlds WORST worrier in the world has learnt to "brick wall" things and shut them out which has helped him soooo much so perhaps you can "Just live in the moment" and brick wall all the crap. and just get one out at a time to deal with.

    What alternative do we have?
