Life Changes

I am having laser treatments on both eyes because the veins in them are bleeding and it has to be stopped. Result of diabetes. So far it's going OK. But I am having to get it done quickly while I still have insurance (through the end of this month) because...

After 11 years with the law firm (total), they are eliminating my position. I am the only employee who is single with just one income. I've looked for jobs and interviewed but the first job went to someone with lower salary requirements. I haven't heard about the other because I don't think they're done interviewing. I have another interview this week. The sad thing is I need a job that pays me at least $13 hour and there is nothing out there. Anything less won't support my house. Unemployment will but just barely. I am cutting everything I can but the truth is...

Things look very dismal. I am starting to make emergency plans. I found myself driving into work today and thinking that at least the car was paid for so I'd have somewhere to live if I could find somewhere to park. I am trying not to be depressed but it's hard. There just aren't jobs out there. And $5,000 of my savings (pretty much everything) will have to go for the eye stuff since that's my deductible.

So I am going to try to pick myself up and move ahead. It won't be easy. Be patient with me.
