Job hunting and stripping of paint.
I'm so tired. I really need some sleep that isn't interrupted by dreams or my phone ringing. I think from now on I just need to turn it off. I need to turn off my brain as well. Perhaps then I would get more than 4 hours of straight sleep. My husband is in bed and I should be able to just fall asleep in his loving arms but my mind continues to race and won't slow down. I'm sick of this.
I've been up for over an hour. I decided to get out of bed because I didn't want to toss and turn with him sleeping. Someone still has to get up and go to work.

And it's definitely not me. :( (update...I'm jobless...have been for 2 weeks as of yesterday. I was let go from my job because I "demanded my general manager/owner's presence" he was constantly changing peoples job responsibilities daily. So no one really knew what to do when they came in and I asked him to sit down with us and define our jobs so that we knew what we were to do when we came in. Because of that he fired me. He has only owned the business since the end of may.)

I'm getting depressed about my whole job search. Sure I've had interviews. but that doesn't pay the bills does it. I know my husband has a decent job but it's not quite enough to cover the mortgage and all of the bills. I'm just glad that we had saved some of the money we were given for the wedding and that I can get unemployment. Not to mention that I did manage to save a bit of cash from before we got married. I'm sure that we will be able to make it through at least August if not longer with those factors. However I can't stand being unemployed. I have never not had a job since I was young.
Sure I've been able to work on things around our house but some of that I have to try to keep myself from doing because these house projects can actually start to cost quite a bit. In the past two weeks I have spent probably about 40 hours scrapping paint from our front stairway. Someone had started doing it before we bought the place and it was on the list of things to do. I have never fully understood why someone would paint over beautiful woodwork. I can understand when it's all blemished and looks awful but that's not the case. UGH. It's going to take me quite awhile to get it done but I want to try to have it finished before we have our housewarming party. I know it's a month or so away but at the same time it takes a lot of time and effort to get paint off of wood that has so many fine details. UGH!

Okay I feel a bit better. and I think that perhaps I can get some more sleep. I really hope that's true. Take care anyone that still reads this.

hi-and-byes
