2008...it had such promise to be a great year. Now it's almost over and I swear, it has been one of the worst years I have seen for me, my friends and loved ones. Accidents, health problems, financial disasters, heartbreak, depression...it has seemed like just after one crisis has ended, a new one begins. Sigh. When will we all find the peace and happiness we deserve?
Chris has been busy moving his sister into her new apartment in T.O., then he will start moving his stuff over into my apartment. I have been busting my ass getting the apartment ready...organizing, cleaning, purging, more cleaning...I physically hurt from all the work I have been doing. Which he probably won't even notice, given his current state of mind. His depression is still really bad, and the relations between him and his father are getting worse.
The holidays are going to be a trying time...his dad pretty much just wants to do whatever his girlfriend wants, with no concern for his children. Chris' maternal grandmother is refusing to come over for Christmas, since she is so disgusted with his dad's behaviour as of late. I'm heading down to my mom's for Christmas this year, since I have spent the last 2 with his family, and Chris is hesitant to go with me. It would kill me to see him spend Christmas by himself, since his sister has to work all through the holidays, but I won't disappoint my mom by not going to see her. I normally love Christmas...this year I just want it to be over and done with.
Work is BEYOND difficult right now. Being employed by a GM dealership is hard with the financial crisis, and threat of staff shakeups here at the dealership is overwhelming. I hope the government agrees to help them out...1 in 7 jobs in Canada is linked to the automotive industry (not ot mention MINE!). Hopefully the news at the end of the week is good...
