Thanks. I am sure everything will be fine, it is not a large spot.
 
These tree people are beginning to make me feel like I am digging a hole and don't know when to stop digging. Today is a week, it is a guy and his wife and sometimes son. He kept stopping by the house over the last few months and I kept putting him off due to other things going on. He has worked for a couple of other people in the neighborhood and his price was good but they want to be paid a little everyday. I finished (I hope) paying them yesterday but it looks like they have at least two days of work left. Quoted 1k, I've paid them 1240.00 but they have done a little extra and I don't mind helping folks, plus I had to rent a 30yd dumpster for 250.00. It is still cheaper than the tree companies in the yellow pages but soon it wont be if it keeps up, and they would have been done in a day or two.
I feel a little like a sucker but it seemed like the right thing to do at the time but I guess if you don't do what you think is right at the time, when do you. Just feeling a little depressed today I think.
 
I'm sure all will end well though.

Whew. I can sure relate, Julien. Just when you think life has finally gotten comfortable, some sh*t comes along to screw it all up.
 
All I can say is no matter what, don't shut out the music. Even if it's just singing to yourself while you do the laundry, music is good medicine.

Ugh.... cancer.Sorry you guys. Best wishes your way. There seems to be some kind of an epidemic that isn't really spoken about much.

I do that Bit, and I really appreciate the kind words. I went for nearly 2 months with out playing my guitar in August through most of September. It was literally one thing after another and sometimes 3 or 4 things in a day. It was like things would get quiet for a day or two then in the period of a few hours some problem would come up and "family" would call with some complaint. Let me tell you being POA for inlaws (my dad got my wife to do that for him and my mom) is really taxing and draining. Ever since my dad appointed my wife POA my sister and her family have hated her and been anything other than a solution in ANY problem... but that is another story. We have learned a little better how to handle it.
I'll be OK, she will be OK and maybe one day I will have the time and the "want to" at the same time again. You're right about the music. I keep writing lyrics and playing on my acoustic when I can.
Thanks again.
 
Starise... Thanks, will appreciate prayer!
