I am so frustrated and angry...

I need a way to calm down.

My downstairs bathroom is torn up, and will not be fixed for a couple more weeks. All my stuff is upstairs, which is inconvenient. The house is disrupted because of this bathroom. I cannot get a sense of peace and order.

My home theater/receiver went out, and Sony will have it for about three weeks. I had to ship it. Even if they replace it, it is a pain in the butt. I do watch TV, but my husband watches more than I do. I can't see any of the shows I like, or TIVO anything. I can't watch DVDs, either. I have had to find other ways to listen to the radio and listen to my CDs, because everything is tied up into that system. I do have other ways to listen to music and news, but it is not as convenient.

Now my car died. If you knew the history of this car, and how much I hate it.....grrrr..... I am working part time again, so I can afford payments for a new car. My husband is being stubborn and resistant. I think he may have changed his mind, because this is the fourth time the stupid car has needed major work. I have to go rent a car tomorrow, instead of working. My son is getting married, and I need to be able to get there!

I am furious with my husband over more than just the car. He decided to replace our credit card, because Capital One bought out our old credit card company. I told him to forget it, because I use the card for so many recurring things. Also, it will take me a long time to get everything changed over. I thought he listened to me, so when a card arrived with my name on it, I cut it up. It turns out he activated the card in his name. Now, I have to get a new card for myself and change everything over, because he does anything he damn well pleases.

I need strength, peace and order. I know all this will get sorted out, but it is too much all at once. I also need to find a way to get my husband to respect my needs and wishes a little more. Any help would be appreciated.
