RE: Do You Ever Get The Feeling? This Is A Rant!
I completely get your rant. Happens daily here. We are a disabled vet and I am disabled with chronic Lyme disease. Our vehicles are a 2003 Subaru with 225,000 on it and that is a recent upgrade from the 2000 Subaru with 336,000 that we just retired as a parts car for the 2003. The truck is a 1986 F250. I know one is a FORD (fix or repair daily), but the Subaru?
We do our homestead on the single disability income from my husband. It's always rob Peter to pay Paul around here. We've been doing it for 20 years...
We do all the work here ourselves, can't afford to pay anyone. He keeps all the vehicles running, does all repairs, builds all new infrastructure, does lots of the animal chores. He DOESN'T do gardens. :))
It always seems like an uphill battle, but sometimes we win.... That makes it worth it!
I really try to do the work myself on the vehicles but it always seems my PTSD gets the better of me and I break a windshield. It is hard to stay bent over for a long time with chronic back and neck problems and my poor knees are just shot. I am so tired of this miserable life of pain I have. It is just so overwhelming at times. I know I am preaching to the choir. LOL. If it was not for certain things in my life I do not think I would still be here.
