My year has been the strangest, most stressful one ever!
I got laid off yesterday (jobs outsourced to India, don't even get me started)
My brother had his court date for sentencing (long story, stupid thing he did that just snowballed because they wanted to make an example of someone)(didnt get too much, basically a short probationary period)
My divorce should be final by the end of the year - filed 6 months ago, and we're still living in the same house until we get it sold! (fun fun fun)
I am selling the house, escrow should close by the end of the month (can finally get separate houses!)
Had a cancer scare, but after a few "procedures" appears to be taken care of
Have to make a dentist appt for a filling
For a while it just seemed that if one more thing happened I was going to lose it!
But, now all seems to be coming together - have a decent severance package from being laid off - will give me a few months to find another job - didn't really like the job anyway, and commuting 3-4 hours a day was getting REALLY old! So - i think that was for the best.
After a few false starts, finally got the house sold, and escrow is proceeding smoothly! :D
Found a place to rent for a while that is in the same school boundaries, so no changes need to be made there. (and they will let me bring my dog, which has been an issue in finding a place!)
Overall, I finally feel like I can finally relax! - Now I am off to the fabric store, going to start a couple of projects with all my new free time!
