I found out that something went wrong in processing my 401k check, so the timeline for payment not only starts over, but actually- hasn't started yet. Minimum of four more months of living like this.
I don't think anyone realizes how extreme it is. NO running water in the house I'm moving into next week. No running water until I get the check. I did six months like that. It's HARD. You feel like an animal. The furnance leaks carbon monoxide outside and it's only a matter of time before it leaks inside, too, so I sleep with the detectors next to my bed. There's a massive pool of water in the crawl space under the house and mold under there and who knows where else. Plus, now the car is breaking down at random times. I'm tired. Tired of living like this. I don't know how much more of it I can take. I don't know if I can do this for four more months without a clear end in sight. That may be more "acceptance" than I have in me.
