Daily Dose

I was doing pretty good today. Shopping went well. We stuck to the list and came in under the budget amount and averaged $1/item. We got a respectable 37% savings with coupons and sale. Heel still hurts but slowly getting better. I have been doing some of home remedies and it is helping. Started going back on Furry Muck and seeing old friends as well as playing cribbage. Took Caritas to Dillards for her hair appointment.

Then my mood shifted. It was pretty quick. Just crashed almost. I started to look for jobs. I checked some I had applied for online. They were filled and I never got a call. I started to question my ability to get a good job. Maybe will just have to go flip burgers. Oh wait, might be too educated for those. Went to take a nap and woke up feeling the same. Feel like I wasted the day away. I know I got stuff done, but could have done a lot more. Some very self negative thoughts running thru my head right now. I will feel better though. This I do know.

Being unemployed sucks. I went through that whole process for about 3 months. If you do end up drawing unemployment try to remember to pay extra to the state when you do get hired- they will ask if you want federal taxes taken out but I ended up having to pay the state because they don't give the option to take out taxes from unemployment for some reason.

Anyway, Lexington wasn't a very hopeful job market for me- that's why I moved. But there are jobs. Try a staffing agency temporarily and see if they can find you a temp to perm while you're looking.
