Really depressing situation...

realsorienIts looking a lot like I won't make Midwest FurFest this year. As bad as my finances are, I doubt I'll be able to justify in good conscience making the trip, even if I went by car and floor-flopped in someone else's room. Given just how bad it is (roughly $1000 in due/overdue bills, of which I can cover half with the remaining convention cash), I don't see many other options. Christmas isn't gonna be all that lavish either, unless I can pull off some kind of miracle.
I'm about to do the one thing I didn't want to do- talk to the folks and ask for help. I'll never hear the end of this, and I'm afraid that they'll try to 'govern' my finances... The trick is, it isn't my spending thats the problem; its just a crawling escalation of costs, bills, and other shit that I've no control over. As I said in a previous post, I've got a few things like the comics that I'm going to put up for sale- that could get me the other half of the cash, but not necessarily instantly.
I'm not cancelling my hotel room yet. I don't really know where things are gonna be after I call the folks. I'm SURE I'll not be in a terribly good mood.
I'm really not sure where things stand right now. Its like every time I get close to stabilixing things, some other fucking disaster comes along and destroys all that I've done to improve my situation.
I should be, and I am, grateful that I have the option of asking help... Not everyone can. I just hate having to. This shouldn't have happened... And honestly, much of it is my own fault. I DO see that. But a lot ISN'T, as well.
I'll post the outcome of talking to 'em.
