Goodbye Birch box

I really enjoy getting the Birch Box in the mail each month.  I was laying awake thinking about things I could cut or change.  Birch box was the first thing that came to mind.  That will save me $20 per month.  Not a huge fortune but every $$ counts.  I was going to cancel it anyway but that wouldn’t have been for two more months.  I wanted to see what October & Novembers boxes would bring.  I guess now I will never know. 

Today has been stressful for me, just thinking about tomorrow and knowing what potentially might happen.  I have been busy surfing the web and applying for jobs.  I found a good gob (meaning several) of them today.  I didn’t let the fact that most of them require extra education or certification stop me, I just applied anyway.  They say it’s easier to get a job when you have a job.  Well maybe that will ring true. 

I have also made some calls and done some praying.  My so called friend is on her way out, not sure that she knows it yet.  I did call her to tell her she was kind of shocked.  Of course me telling her flipped the bitch switch and she gave me all kinds of advice.  She said make them pay you money.  Yeah, well I won’t do exactly what she told me but I if I am put in that position I will consult with an attorney and move forward from there.  First step would be to file for unemployment, that is the most critical because I don’t know anyone who can survive without money.  It will be extra tight around here and I won’t be able to last that long, but maybe just maybe something will come along before things get out of hand and I can just start a new job.

My friends all thing that it’s a phase he is going through and that he won’t do anything because he knows I really am a good worker.  However, I don’t see it that way.  After all I know him better than they do.  I should be out in the field for the rest of the week – Thursday & Friday are holidays for him so no work.  That is good news.  Then we shall see what the following week brings. 

My goal as always is to lay low and not attract attention.  I just stay in my office and do my job.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Mondays are always kind of hectic.  Forgotten passwords, access issues, new problems.  So I should be busy.  I’d rather be busy than bored. 

Kind of hard to stay positive when so many negative things keep happening.  Need to grab the kids laundry and head upstairs to make sure that I have everything ready to go for tomorrow.  Taking extra sleeping medicine tonight because I napped a little today.  Hope that I get a good nights sleep so I am ready to deal with whatever comes my way tomorrow.

Please pray for me.  I will keep you posted.  Hope you all had a good weekend!
