When It All Falls Down

I've been losing my mind lately. I'm pretty sure I ticked off karma somehow and it's kicking me now... hard. On Valentine's Day my husband was in a car accident. He's okay but his car wasn't. Almost $3,000 worth of damage and three weeks without our second vehicle. As if that wasn't bad enough my husband had a few teeth prepared for crowns that he'll have put in next week. That left him pretty messed up for a few days and I'm sure the next round will be worse.

We had no way of knowing the worst was yet to come though. My father in law had a heart attack 9 days ago. Further testing has shown he has 5 blockages in his arteries and 2 bad valves. To complicate things even further he's a lifelong smoker and has COPD. I have every reason in the world to keep on top of my running right now but not the motivation.

Keeping up with work and school while not crumbling under the pressure of everything we're dealing with right now is all I can manage. My father in law's surgery is scheduled for Tuesday so I'm really hoping life will be on its way back to normal soon.

Anyway, two weeks to the DC marathon and I'm still shy of my fundraising goal. So please help me help others even while I can barely help myself.
