Just when you thought a bad situation couldn't get any worse, right?

Like my mother being diagnosed with cancer back in June wasn't bad enough. Now we have to be hit with the fact that her disability has been exhausted and she won't be receiving any more checks. Just when she's in the middle of her chemotherapy treatments and in no condition to be returning to work.

So now it falls upon my brother and I to support the household. Rent, car payments, bills, etc. And if she goes on permenent disability, then I'll have to claim her as a dependant and put her on my health insurance. Which means I'll have to stay a full time employee to continue getting health care benefits.

Question pending: when the hell am I supposed to attend mortuary school amidst all of this? I can't work full time, go to school full time, AND intern twenty hours a week at a funeral home. There just isn't enough time in the day or resources in my energy.

I always used to pride myself on having never caught my reflection in the mirror of Despair. Now, though, as I peer out of the corner of my eye...I see a movement in
its silvered shine.
