Couldn't sleep..but got lots done!
Couldn't sleep last night...so instead of totally wasting time in bed, I got a lot of reading, researching, and random internet surfing accomplished..hee hee.
Now off to walk the dog and do my few writing assignments I have for the day..hopefully I'll finish them quickly so I can have a more relaxing new year's than I did Christmas...
No plans and that is a-ok with me! My old best friend and I used to say that New Year's plans just set up for disappointment. Everyone make such a big deal out of such a random "holiday" and people RARELY have a good time...so grab a few movies (and of course a bottle of the cheapest champagne possible..Andre truly is the best!) and enjoy! I will probably go to bed earlier tonight than I have in all of 2009! Hard to believe..I know

Have Wanted To Do This For Awhile
Ok..so I have been meaning to do this for awhile. I am on the internet virtually 24-7 and have still not started a blog. Crazy...I know!
Basically life is not going according to planned for me (and when I think about it...I think the majority of people are feeling this way).
I feel like life keeps throwing struggle after struggle at me and I continue to keep charging on..but I have to admit I am getting pretty discouraged. I feel like right after I get one thing taken care of another crisis arises. Unfortunately I do not have a great support system which makes things even more difficult.
I was facing the prospect of having my first holiday season by myself. No family, no friends, no relationships. I was pretty sad but was trying to make the most of it. Then what happens? My dog ate through my "Christmas eve salad" container and got onion toxicity. I had to rush her to the emergency vet hospital and spent my entire Christmas there. I am currently still unemployed (not for lack of trying...grrr recession) and so I had no way to pay the vet bill. I put it on my credit card but am growing concerned about how to pay for it. But what else could I do, right? She's my buddy!
Just when I was getting over that cost I was hit with my insurance not covering the majority of my medical bills and a confusion over my rental car that I had for a few weeks. I had a parking ticket that I paid and now I am being charged by the rental car company. Hertz is the worst company ever. I had problem after problem when I was renting the car and you can NEVER get a competent customer service person.
So...more to deal with tomorrow. I will need to put off my doctor's appointment's and my dog's MUCH needed dental cleaning for awhile until I find some way to get some more money.
Doing my best to stay positive and continuing to try and improve my life. I hope people are keeping positive and know that there are others in the same boat supporting them!
