help is on the way

December 18, 2007

I spent a little yesterday - I sent a package of presents to my honey’s family, ‘cause we won’t see them this holiday.  I’ll also spend a little today in order to send four Christmas cards.  I usually send several dozen, but this year, I’ve pared it down.

I changed my mind about traveling for Christmas yesterday - it won’t be the same for me without spending it with some elders, so we’re tackling the highway the week before Christmas to be with my folks.  This means tackling the expense of gas.  I’ve been trying to conserve gas lately - it’s a little tempting to use more, since I have more free time on my hands to go places, but part of the reason why my life is so affordable right now is because I don’t usually use my car, and that shouldn’t change.

Good news is that my unemployment claim has been processed and income is on the way later this week.  Other good news is that networking and agency interviewing may mean my job search may not have to last for a long time.
