Can't we just get a break?

Sep 15, 2009

It has been MONTHS since I blogged. Geez. And it's nothing good this time. 

I went from doing well, but really busy to - life Sucks and don't know what to do about it.

Wednesday I spent 90 minutes on the phone with a BK attny, ready to file Ch 7 the next afternoon, after confirming some things with my family. Walked in to work Thur morning, walked out 30 minutes later, for good. Laid off, after nearly ten years. Just been in shock all weekend; trying to stay out of the fridge. Super depressed, since we had just decided to file and get out from under. Now we are more under than before. I figure, since my DH is with a new job at 2/3 his 2008 income, we'll lose the house in about six months. We have suffered three layoffs in the last three years. I have No benefits right now, with a colonoscopy scheduled on the 28th; not sure what to do about that, either. DH's insurance is not great, but COBRA is gonna be outrageous, so . . .

Trying to look forward, to finding a better job for either one, or both, of us. My small severance will pay for us to relocate, if necessary. Once we lose the house, what's the difference where we rent. Might as well look for a better job, wherever, then move there.

I can kiss any PS goodbye for a good long time. Still fighting to get to MY goal. I've been within reach of the Dr's goal for months! Can't seem to get that last five pounds outta here, and now with all day at home, it's gonna be a more difficult battle. Trying to stay busy with helping my DH on his hobby work, with a small side job going a little faster with me being home, but it's not gonna pay the bills.

Well, gonna go try and pick up my last round of BC pills on my insurance and hope they allow it. Then back home to clean house and make cookie dough for a fundraiser this weekend. Not to worry. All will be baked off for sale or shipment to my sons away at college.
