I quit my job back at the end of December. Since then, I’ve had semi-constant temp work. I’ve used my megar checks plus what I had in savings to live and pay bills. I have all my bills paid until the middle of July. Currently, I have $45.02 in my checking acocunt and $5 left in my savings.
My school loans haven’t been paid in full in quite sometime. And I learned this morning that I don’t qualify for deferrment
But despite all of this, I’ve managed to have 2 really great job interviews. The bad thing about both of them? No decisions are expected until the end of July, or the beginning of August.
Still, I trudge along.

The morning started out ok. Being alone in the car is always great—it’s that interaction with people that starts to screw with it. Then before you know it, its work evaluations, school loans repayment plans, a potentially crippling disease, and a crazy grandma all taking up space in my brain. And I’m sorry, but my brain is so much better when it’s not cleathered like that.
By 3:00, it gets better because I say, “Hey Self, suck it up. Work evaluations…yeah they suck, but you do a good job and have examples and written comments that say as much. Yeah, you’re school loans are making it impossible for you to…I don’t know, ‘live’ maybe? But it’s just a while longer and things will right themselves. And diseases couldn’t keep your Mom down. And family is family, you have to love ‘em.”
By the time I thought all of this, I didn’t feel like pretending nothing was happening.
So…go me.
