I've been trying to shrink down all our extraneous stuff by selling off these things. I sold my eliptical bike (which took up a HUGE, not to mention was very heavy), sold some Zines, sold the carpet cleaner, and will be posting Kelly's bike, tv & bedroom dressers shortly.
But will he get rid of any of his stuff that he never looks at and has been boxed for years? NOOOOOOO.... I can understand keeping his old train set, but we've got boxes & boxes of baseball cards, not to mention his old school books & related papers. He never looks at the shit, but insists on keeping it. At least I look at my S&H stuff.

We had found a smaller 3-bedroom townhouse, but ended up passing on it. There was no garage and backyards could not be fenced, but these weren't the reasons we passed. It was farther west, and Ron figured the amount of money spent on gas would negate anything we saved on rent. I really like the place, it had a huge covered front porch. But I do agree with him and I would like to find something with a garage, even if we have to pay extra.
=================================================================================================================
Meeting with our current landlord tomorrow to see if we can work something out until I either get called back (which probably wouldn't be soon since Sears has a hiriing freeze), or if I do get unemployment (also doubtful since I owe them $4K from being overpaid in 2010).
=================================================================================================================
Problem is, there isn't much around here for less than $1,400. Unless you want to go to an apartment. I don't even though we have looked at a few, just in case. Then we would have to rent a storage locker for all the stuff in the basement & garage.

Have a job interview for an office manager on Tuesday. I really, really want to go back to my job at Sears, but R - the Chief Marketing Officer - is being a b*** about it. Sure they can promote the woman who called her boss at b*** TO HER FACE in front of me, to another department, but they won't hire the person who took on two jobs while being paid at the lowest rate (a data entry clerk), including doing the work of a Promotional Editor.
But, if I get offered this or another job in the meantime, I have to take it.
================================================================================================================
Car payment is due today and I have no $ to pay it. Well, I do have most of it, but Ron's truck is 6 years old and has never had a battery replaced. That HAS to get done.
And the $ in our savings is to go see Kelly, STanley & Leighton in March.
================================================================================================================
Have no idea how I'm going to pay the bills, utility, insurace this month. I may have to go to the food bank & sign up.
This is so depressing......
