Trying to file unemployment is really stressing me out. I need to get information from my former employer and, having come from that company, I know how lazy they are, which means it took a week for them to call me back. I finally got to talk to a real person today, but she just sent me to another person, and now I'm waiting for her call. Meanwhile I'm becoming poorer by the day. On top of that, my parents are getting on my case about not having a job and "sitting on my ass not doing anything." Which I would be okay with if that's what I was doing. I'm on the phone every day trying to get them to send me the paperwork I need. Basturds.
Once Jessica comes back in town, I'm sure I'll have more money in my pocket. We can always find creative ways to make money. Plus, her dad & his friends drink beer like it's going out of style, so that's always helpful. Our friend Gloria from the Battle Creek/Kalamazoo area will be coming to see us on the 30th, and I'm ridiculously excited. I absolutely love Gloria. We met & our personalities just clicked. I'm happy we get to hang out for a while over her break.
Christmas is coming up, which means my mom is coming to Michigan to visit for a week. I feel bad, but I'm not really excited to see her. She'll be busy the whole time she's here seeing all of the family. I'll probably only see her two or three times, which I suppose is better than nothing. She's just not the same person she was a couple years ago, which is understandable, but it's still sad. Now that's she's down in Virginia she's even more miserable than she was up here. She has no family, no friends, and my step-dad is gone to California or Canada or Arizona every other week. I think everyone's still surprised she hasn't bought a plane ticket home yet, espcially me.
In good news, my sister moved back in town. Now instead of seeing her once every three months, I see her twice a week - at least. A girl could get used to that.
As for me - I'm trying to get my life together. I'm trying to get a source of income, stay in touch with old friends, & talk to my family members on a regular basis. Being in a place where I'm content with my life would be the ultimate goal, but that seems like it's a long way off. But it will never happen if I never start working on it.
