Already called T last week and 2 days ago, but...

I'm thinking I might need to touch base with her again. Today I found out that no alimony has been paid into my trust account at all in February, and only about $90 in January (it's supposed to be $400 per month). I called my ex and he said he filed a motion to have the alimony reduced or eliminated for now; he can no longer drive school bus because he was put on insulin and lost his CDL license. I have been feeling very stressed anyway lately, as some of you know. My trust account was paying for my phone, cable, and internet, also my car/renter's insurance, co-pays for my prescriptions plus some over-the-counter meds, making payments to the repair shop for car repairs (of which I had $1000 worth this winter), and a storage rental fee. Right now there is less than $300 in my trust, with no guarantee of if or when more will be added.

I actually feel calm right now, although I was very anxious and crying earlier. I let myself cry, and I prayed, and soon I'm going to take a nap with my beagle. I have learned over the years that God always comes through for me, but right now I'm in the waiting stage.

My friend J called me from jail last night, and asked me to make some calls on his behalf, and to please check his PO box every couple of weeks (which is about 15 miles out of my way, one way). Also he asked me to please come visit him when I can (the jail is about a 35 mile roundtrip for me), but the visiting hours are rather limited, and my MS has kept me more limited than I used to be.

I just feel overwhelmed right now, and wanted to ask for more good thoughts and prayers and hugs and support from my PC friends. Like Lloyd Bridges in "Airplane!", I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!
