I want to thank everyone for your kind words and support. It means more than you could know.
I went to the library on Friday after I left work, went home, read a book, then slept for 15 hours straight (only one time waking up and falling asleep again.) Then I got up and read some more and fell asleep for another 2 hours. I guess I needed it.
I'm really trying to get a good attitude back. I think I should get a part-time job that I could spend a few hours at a day after this job. I need the money to get out of this financial hole. I don't want a job where I have to talk to the public; I get enough of that here...just something physical to also help me get some exercise and start paying things off. I had a second job for many years but it was all in restaurants/bars and like I said I don't want to deal with the public. Perhaps a temp service would have something.
I can't wait to get online at home again because I know I could have benefitted over the weekend from not only your input here but also the laughs I invariably get when I read your posts.
I'll probably be scarcer than normal as I try to get things straight with my work here...it just never ends and everytime we turn around there's a new problem or new grants to administer or something. I like the challenge but when I looked at my W2 it really hit home how much my wages are akin to highway robbery. Sigh...
You are all wonderful, and I again thank you for your support.
