I can't remember when last I had such an awful month, with nearly everything that can go wrong, going wrong.
* Depression, angst, ghosts from the past I thought I'd laid to rest. Friendships went from great to bad.
* Car tyre issues (replaced 3 out of 4), wheel balancing, but still the wheels rattle badly - and now almost complete brake failure. I'm scared to go anywhere, as everywhere is downhill from here! We're on the last fumes of the petrol.
* Employers deciding I'm to be moaned at, daily.
* Computer sound card conked. In the middle of a movie I was watching. Computer itself went into permanent restart and broke down after a power failure.
* We've run out of cash and are on the last of the food. Not enough fruit and veg means I'm none too healthy.
* My watch stopped working two days ago - and no, it's not the battery.
* Dog tried to die of tick-bite fever. 500 bucks and an overnight vet's stay later, he's still alive.
And now the washing machine has broken. The pump burnt out during the last load a few minutes ago. A new machine will cost half my salary - they don't replace this brand's pumps.
I guess it's back to hand-washing in the bath until I can afford one (did it for 6 months once, can do it again). Food and a car that works take priority. Even the sound card will have to wait.
There are still 10 days of March left. How much worse can it get? Do I really want to know?
::update::
Lucky me! I found 6 potatoes in the garden, and a handful of tomatoes. The peas will be ready tomorrow - so we won't starve... :) But I am considering investing in a chicken or two.
::update 2::
Hole in exhaust pipe, front door glass broken by wind (and due to budgetary constraints, "maintenance on homes will not be done until further notice" - so will have to replace at my own expense). Will this darned month never end?
