Two Steps Forward One Step Back

Well at least it seems life has quickly progressed from a stand-still to movement. Although just as things come together others seem to fall apart. Always the way it seems to work. It keeps things interesting, stressful, exciting, and unending. Sadly, however, it can make a bad day worse. You just have to keep pushing to make it happen. Even if you take two steps forward and one step back it is slight progress.

The list of things seems to grow at an unending rate and the problems constantly tripping. Just find one thing to smile about and it makes the rest go away. This has been a roller coaster of a week with extreme highs and lows and very little in between. The focus on what is yet to come. It makes everything else seem less of a burden. The knowledge that people are only a phone call away makes it better. Even though they can not fix the problems it still makes it better.

Who knew the adult world could be so expensive. This week alone the expenses made me want to cry:
New Car Window: $383
Hospital Bills from ear Infection (they apparently did not get processed earlier like I thought): $1010
Vaccinations (only the start): $485

Ironically $1500 of this actually is not going to go through because my wallet disappeared along with all my credit cards, social security card, driver's license, and red cross certifications. So when all of those go through and the card will be declined thinking I am not paying the bills. This all was going on credit cards with the realization there went everything I had saved. How does it work this way? This doesn't even touch the other costs coming up and I already have. Is there any way to get ahead? How do can you make it all work? Some days the hours of work seem to be pointless. And the hopes of everything else seem nearly impossible? Will I be able to make it all work? Will I get to do my dream and goal.

As all this races through the mind other issues arise. There is studying and taking midterms which finally were completed today. Then the matter of the lost wallet. With this I lost everything. The American Red Cross cannot find me anywhere in there system; paperwork and fees for new driver's license and social security card; and canceling the credit cards. The irony I am more disappointed I had a free movie ticket and my rewards cards are all missing. Those of course cannot be replaced and that is what is disappointing about them.

It felt as it was all coming together then reality occurred it seems all so unrealistic. Which path do you take? Do you agree to accept the challenges and have the faith it will all work out? Do you decide it is not practical and go in another direction? I am just going to hold on to the belief it will all work out because no matter the crazy adventures and situations I become involved in they seem to happen for a reason and work out.
