Here I sit alone. [View all]

It is not by my choice. But, here I am. The car is on its last wheel, I am afraid. I am too broke to go anywhere or do anything. My husband is so stressed out. I do not know what to do about any of it. I can barely go from one floor to the other sometimes. I cannot wave my magic wand and make things better for him. I suck.

I guess that is why I am alone.
