Hi, James
You are definitely in my prayers, my friend. If there's anyone who knows what you're going through, it is I.
I used to be able to go home every 3 weeks and still drive 104,000 miles per year. Then it went down to 100,000 miles per year ... so I started taking time off only every 4 to 6 weeks. NOW I'm down to 97,000 miles per year!!!
Needless to say, something's gotta give. On my salary, I'm trying to meet MY financial obligations AND help 2 families in Mexico keep food on their tables. Just recently, both breadwinners got laid off their jobs and it REALLY got difficult for me. But one of them just got a new job, so some of the pressure is now off of me.
There's a saying in Spanish ... "Dios aprieta pero no ahorca." I.E., "God squeezes but does not choke." Hang in there, bud. When these Liberal Democrats get off their "you-know-whats," fuel prices will come down and you'll be flying again.
"Thou all my ships at sea come drifting home with broken masts and sails, I will not doubt the Hand that never fails!"
