If you don't know some of the back story to this read my rant so-tired-of-living-here-t1458.html .
Despite my best efforts and even studying a semester a head of time I am failing french class. I've been diagnosed as having an autism spectrum disorder (aspergers but I believe that term is no longer considered correct) multiple times by different psychiatrists. I don't know if that's really accurate but I go with it cause it's something people understand and it does match with my difficulties in language. I thought my extra work and desire to learn a foreign language would be enough but so far it isn't and I don't know what to do. My case worker is useless. I can't drop or fail this class otherwise I lose all financial aid and funding which will probably end my attempt to get a degree.
On to problem #3. My husband missed a lot of work last spring due to my health problems and his new manager hates him. Then today his alarm did not go off and he missed 2 hours of a 3 hour long meeting. I am absolutely paranoid he will lose his job and I will not be able to get a degree and a job that pays enough.
The rabbits really are little work and cost. They are pretty insignificant compared to everything else. We just need to solve their housing problem. On top of the rabbits though we have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 parakeets, and 5 sugar gliders. 3 given to us by someone who just wanted them in a good forever home. Of those animals I would go homeless before I'd give up my dog, the parakeets are only moderate work and also low cost, but the sugar gliders are high maintenance and expensive requiring lots of fresh fruits and vegetables daily, mixing up their "ice cream" which is eggs, honey, a powder supplement, bee pollen and I"m probably forgetting something, and they currently don't all get along so they are in 3 cages which all need cleaned frequently due to their eating habits. I don't think I've done much of anything with them in months from being so busy.
Who do I rehome and how? I hate to let down the person who trusted us with their gliders but we currently aren't giving them the best home. I hate to lose my younger gliders but I never have enough time to tame them. I also am not sure about giving up one of my parakeets. I know which one it would be but would it really cut work and cost enough to be worth it? How do I get my 40% grade in french to 60% or higher in the next 2months?
After my husband gets off work I'm also going to the walk in clinic for pain in my lower abdomen that's been there for about 10 days now. It keeps getting better for a day so I don't go and then I'm in severe pain later and wishing I had but last fall we went through 6-8months of tests which said I was healthy despite the symptoms I was having then. A change in medication made those symptoms go away but now I'm having new ones with pain this time. I don't really want to go through all of that again but it's starting to seriously impact my life again. I just don't know what to do to make things less stressful without getting depressed about having no animals.
