You're right about the unknown. And I will try to give it some time before panicking. Today I'll research lower prices for the dog stuff.
My husband has offered to loan me money for some of the dog stuff, since regretfully, it is a time limited problem as they are 10,11,12,13, and 13. If necessary I'll take him up on it and pay it off over time.
And although I bit my therapist's head off for suggesting it, I may try to aim for one more hour per day at work. Or maybe even start with a half hour. Or fifteen minutes.
And I'll try to remember that this isn't really a fifteen year problem. The loan is fifteen years, but some of the expenses won't be.
And in the end, my husband might be willing to help me out more than he currently believes. In preparation for possibly cutting down my therapy hours, I tried to use him as a support last night and let him in on a tiny bit of what was going on with me. The upshot is that he was threatening not to leave home today and was extremely upset. Obviously he wants to be protected from my seamy underbelly as much as I want to protect him.
Time will tell of course.
