Waiting
I'm waiting for my packet from the unemployment people. It's supposed to be here by today. The packet will have instructions on how to file for benefits, updating my resume with them, and job search recommendations. I'm already getting worried. It's been a week since I was laid off. The last time I was laid off from the job, I had before this one, I'd had 2 job offers. One was the job I took at the call center. Now, I have to sit and wait. But, I've been busy checking the internet for leads and checking the newspaper classifieds. It's crazy around the house. There's stuff I need and should do like cleaning the place up and finding places for things scattered around, but, although I've tried, I just can't get into it. Foxy can't figure out what's going on. She thought when I went back to work after the knee problem, her world would get back to normal. Then, after just a few weeks, I'm hanging around the house again. But, she continues to amaze me with her knowledge of me,,,,how I'm feeling,,what mood I'm in,,and sometimes, what I'm about to do. She's, also, shown me what's she's learned from me. She knows most of my commands,,,the new ones I've trusted her with like when she heads out to the street instead of the backyard and I call her back, she comes back, and, now, she goes to the car without a leash and goes with me to the front yard to get the newspaper without a leash. She may have known them before, but I guess it took me longer to trust her. That's sad, but she's a very friendly dog and has tended to rush to make new friends whether they be human or canine. Cats I still worried about. Day to day living has changed. Unfortunately, I'm drinking more(iced tea, coffee, Coke Zero, and water and just a couple of beers. I had three cans that had been around for at least 6 months.) smoking more, and watching far too much t.v. I'm eating less. More because I don't know if I'll have money for food. I've had to do without my medications because I don't have money for them. It's been kinda boring around here and I want, NEED, to get back to work.

Oh so foxy is a dog !! ahaha!! At first i was thinking you had your daughter on a leash !! ahaha!! PHEW!!
I\'m so sorry about the work situation..I sure have been there..it is scary,I know. But just get the unemployment going ASAP , and that will relieve you mind ALOT. I am out of work for two more weeks to recover from surgery. I am bored to death, eating way too much ..nothing to do but eat and go on computer.. I am becoming a hermit..it has been almost a month now here and the walls are closing in. The cleaning..well sounds like me..been looking at this mess day after day ..just no motivation..today I\'m finally trying to get off my butt..lol. I complain about work and think all the time I want to just stay home..but this time off has been pretty uneventful and not fun like I thought..I guess surgery has something to do with that, but really alot of it is just my own fault..I am a lump here doin nothing I should be or could be. Well I hope you\'ll find work soon..I know it is important to get out and socialize and feel good about ourselves and all..it\'s the pits when your workin and the pits when your not..maybe it\'s just me..WOMEN!! ahaha!! So hard to satisfy us !! ahaha!!
