Money changes everything
it would be nice to have some! we are pathetically broke and scrabbling. i know some of it is our own doing to a certain extent but a lot of crap has happened concurrently with our being broke and that thin cushion we had has evaporated like mist and we are down to the nothingness. paycheck to paycheck and it is so hard. at least we have a paycheck right now, which i know not everyone has. for that i'm grateful but things are really tough.
we are going to try to organize a garage sale to sell those things that we can't ebay or craigslist but it's not like we have tons of cool things to offload to start with.
i hate all of this constant worry and paranoia. if i wasn't already taking an antidepressant i'd need one! i don't like to whine or complain.....but i hold it all in so much that it has to go somewhere. we are working like mad at work now. there have been so many cutbacks that i have inherited an additional number of tasks once performed by two other people who are no longer employed with us and the person who used to be my boss is no longer in charge of anything. she had her hours cut to 30 a week and her pay moved from salary to hourly. it's a truly scary place right now that we're all in.
i want to adopt another "baby" (which for me means an animal) but we can't afford one, so i should stop torturing myself looking at the shelters.... but all i can think about is some poor little thing that needs our love and a home and i look anyway. silly, i know but there it is.
in other happier news.....we recently found a good friend of ours who was "lost" and we are planning on visiting with him soon....right before he moves away to japan. but i guess he'll keep in touch now that he's actually realized the inevitability of computers in his life!
