There is so much going on at the moment I'm not sure where to start.
OK, money worries, the bank was very good to me, they helped me and actually said I am one of their better customers (even though I'm really in debt to them.) So on that front I have some breathing space. I told W that after our holiday to Barcelona we will have to tighten our belts and also have a frank discussion about out finances. She agreed.
The house is like a builders yard at the moment, but the renovation work is progressing. If I took stab in the dark, me not renovating the house was at the core of our problems although it wasn't the only thing. (Lan not renovating the house shows he doesn't care). But we are working together on this project and W is very happy so that is good progress.
FIL seems quite upbeat at the moment despite his health problems, he's not decided yet if he will take the operation but if he does it won't be until September. W has got herself together on this issue, MIL still looks very sad but I think we will all pull together. Well apart from W and SIL, they have still not yet manage to repair their relationship fully. They seem to be keeping each other at arms length, it's not nice to see but I am not going to intervene even though I'm hearing both sides of the story.
Sandi on my health I found a small lump when I did my regular Mens Health check. The Doc who examined me doesn't think it anything serious but is sending me for a scan as a precaution. The scan itself will be interesting, a nurse with my (censored) in one hand and a gel covered ultrasound probe in the other. Will really be interesting. But anyway I'm not letting the family know yet as I don't want to add to all of the worries if I can avoid it.
Also you say that I am strong, well sometimes I feel weak and inadequate, but I try not to show this outwardly. Also I pray now, funny but it helps me to tackle the difficult situations ahead. So yes I will take your advice and take things one day at a time.
