January 1st this year I posted about having a lot of hope for this year. When 2008 started I really thought that things would start to look up, the timeshare would sell, finances would be under control and life would stabalize. That didn't happen.
2008 sucked, bigtime. I hold no hope for 2009 being any easier to get through. Hentai and I both hate our jobs and finding new ones has been insanely hard. The leasing office for our apartment has been just shy of abusive in the way it handles our maintenance requests and personal privacy. We weren't able to move because of a lie. We lost 2 very special rodents and one very special fish. The timeshare is finally selling but no thanks to the companies I paid to get it sold. I owe mom a lot more money than I should and a friend a bunch too. The timeshare money will of course help pay that but unless it happens in the next 48 hours it will not be thanks to 2008. I've gained weight and am having trouble staying on an excercise plan. I'm becoming an angrier and angrier person. My anxiety induced heartburn is returning. It was so bad last night that I had to get up at 3AM get some tea and lay propped up on the couch for an hour or so before I could sleep comfortably. Between the heartburn and the anxiety induced half-dreams I did not sleep well at all... I think the loss of 2 buddies, Slate and Grace, who provided daily amusement and stress relief without causing trouble at the same time (like the ferrets) is part of why I can't decompress. That in mind I should find some kind of replacement for them Albert just isn't friendly enough and Tansy is more interested in exploring than hanging out with me, plus neither can really climb on my arms and neck the way Slate did. Gruffen may be able to fill Grace's bowl, but I don't know that I want to risk him dying in transit (its reallly cold and he's a tropical fish)or dying like Grace and G'Reth did.
That's all for now... I am tired and while I have other things to write about I'm afraid they'd only get me more depressed right now.
