funny thing happened on the way to pick up milk

After replacing the pump in the well, fixing the vans tie rods and replacing 3 tires ($), replacing most of the exhaust system in DH's car plus a new tire -blah blah ($), fixing the broken dryer ($), having the furnace cleaned ($), dealing with phone repairs (no money just time and hassle and no landline for days at a time).....
I started my van and felt and heard a "Boom!". It runs, barely. I managed to pull across the street realizing how difficult it was to turn the steering wheel and pulled it back into the driveway. I am no mechanic, but the belts on one side aren't moving and it's making a funny noise.
So I decided to come back in to the house and cry.
The End.

oh my, this all sounds like what i have to face these days... glasses, hover, and yesterday evening, the oven decided to break as well. Mom would say it's one of those periods when everything breaks down...

Hope it gets better soon !!! hugs !!!

Sounds like you need a pick-me-up; anything planned for Valentine's? Preferably cost-free, I know - picnic in the snow?

Lots of sympathy vibes coming your way! ((((((((love)))))))

Grrr...I hate it when everything seems to go wrong at the same time. I'd take you out for your milk but you live too far away:-(
