So much truth in that phrase...

At any rate, last night my father had a nasty fall and completely broke his left humerus. Had to call over an ambulance and follow it to the hospital. They wrapped his arm in a splint and sent him back home until an orthopaedic surgeon can be called. So now I am officially unsure what to do. This leaves me as the only person in the family able to drive, among other things, much less perform routine daily tasks. And now this leaves our total household income at 0 for the forseeable future.

My dilemma is this: I can't take care of my mother in his place AND take care of him AND get immediate employment through a temp agency. I'm only one person and I can only do so much at one time.

And forgive me for doing this... I REALLY hate having to resort to it, but I may very well need to open an emergency donation jar or take commissions even though I haven't advanced far enough in my studies of new methods and designs. I don't know yet. I really, really don't know.

I'm not really stressed so much as I am confused about why life -insists- on throwing a stream of major (possibly irreversible) setbacks at my family the past couple of years.
