lc4, I have never aspired to be a cheerleader nor have I ever come close, outside of trying to be my W's cheerleader, but I can dish out a couple of pennies from time to time. So here goes.
Right now, IMO, I think you are at a one day at a time phase. The best thing is to take your time doing this, or you will end up in the same situation again or an even worse situation. 2-3 weeks isn't really that long in the scheme of things. Try not to worry too much about the time and money right now (I don't mean ignore, but don't get all wrapped up in it). If that what it takes to get to a place in your M better than what it's ever been, won't it be worth it? I don't think you can put a price tag on that kind of reward. At the very least, you'll have the peace of mind knowing that you "shot it all" trying to save your M.
I heard this once on the radio about 10 years ago - "Stuck behind that slow car on the road? Maybe God is trying to teach you patience." Maybe God is trying to teach YOU patience.
