Few good things happened. I sold my house in April, which was just a big relief. I lost $20,000.00 which was about 15% of the total value of the house. A little upside down but still good. In a strange and overly dramatic manner, I was fired from my job. The whole thing is nuts and my boss started picking on me which is the stupidest thing she could have done. Let's make the mom of a disabled kid a victim. Jeesh, my boss literally was badgering me because my autistic kid started having seizures which meant that I had to miss work which rocked her world. She then told me that I had been taking advantage of her. Part of me really, honestly believes that she wanted me to take a swing at her. Extra super weird as my husband is her colleague a pretty fucking important one at that. No matter, the very last place that I need to be is somewhere that makes me just feel bad. The money wasn't good and after I paid a babysitter, I was working for groceries. I'm probably back to the world of MR/DD care where at least when people act like assholes at work they usually have a good reason. Sad part is that I loved, seriously loved my coworkers. And because I put in an EEO complaint, we couldn't talk so I would get an occasional funny piece of mail from someone which totally made my day. I am not going to sue anyone so we are all going out for drinks tomorrow. I wasn't sure if I had much of a claim but I filed a case anyway just to remind my boss that she can't be a cunt just because she is angry at someone.
The man is doing very very well. Everything has been exceptional for him: lots of love, a 2nd book contract, a few grants panned out and he has a chapter in a book due out in January.welll...goody goody for him.
