Uncertainty...

I haven’t blogged in so long…life has felt like it’s in a downward spiral and I just couldn’t bring myself to write about it. I still read everyone’s blogs and check in on your lives…but for the most part I don’t even want to think about mine.

Since the firing of our general manager in September, things at work just keep getting worse. My place in the company is very unsure and my pay plan fluctuates regularly. We had $1000 go missing from a deposit a little over a week ago…since I was the one to package up the deposit and put it in the safe, I am being viewed suspiciously. My job isn’t worth $1000…nor would I be stupid enough to steal money that is so easily trackable. Sigh. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop around here…

In light of the job uncertainty, I cashed in all my RRSPs (my retirement savings) to pay off my car and my credit card debt, in the event I do lose my job. So my taxes are going to be through the roof this year on top of everything else :(

On one bright note, in December Chris will be moving in with me. I am so happy that he is finally going to be living with me, but I’m not too thrilled about the circumstances. His dad is forcing him out of the house, along with this sister, so his girlfriend can move in. Chris’ mental state is a fright right now, with his depression continually getting worse. Sometimes I just can’t understand how selfish people can be…could he not wait a few more months...geesh.

Cross your fingers for me that my job will stay stable so I can keep my soon-to-be growing household afloat…
