Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop

I was told yesterday that, in order to keep my job, I would have to take a pay cut. They are hoping that it is temporary, but I'm not sure how we can afford a cut when we can barely pay our bills as it is. Oh well, it's better than unemployment, I guess.

Now I'll just sit here and worry myself half to death. Man, 2008 can't get out of here fast enough. I was hoping for great things in 2009, but it looks as though it will be off to a slow start. Argh!

Christmas Eve

I love Christmas, but this year has proven to be very challenging. I know it's that way for a lot of folks. We are not alone. But, damn, it seems like every time I turn around, somebody is pissin' in my Cheerios! I'm so ready to take our little camper and go to the middle of nowhere.

Ok, enough of that. Self pity never helped anybody. Best Christmas wishes to all and a better year in '09. It's the only thing that keeps me going these days!
