There's never enough time, when you want to tell someone you love them. You forget to when they leave in the morning, or when you drop them off. Then something happens... And time stops. Time has stopped for Spitfire over a year ago. For the last year, she has been slowly watching her father degrade … Continue reading There’s never enough time
Continuing On
I had two job interviews this week. One has gotten back to me, and they went with someone else. That's fine. I couldn't afford to buy the clothing they would want me to wear in their job. The other one is a union job, and the second interviewer's eyes went wide with my tickets as … Continue reading Continuing On
Court Day 1
Yesterday could have been one of the worst days of my life. I'm going to consider it a pass. I had to go to court. I had to face my husband, who sat there with a grin when I got told off by a judge when I tried to speak. I have the right to … Continue reading Court Day 1
One Step
As I type this, my hand hurts. Loads. I had jammed my finger when I was taking a course in a trade, and it hurts like a dickens still, but of course, that was yesterday. See, I found a place that was offering for their clients, and in-house staff, forklift training for a literal song. … Continue reading One Step
Hello World! Miss me?
In the last month, I have rediscovered my voice. My health has improved. My spine has become titanium. I am not quite thriving yet, but I will be. My two older kids have said that I've visibly lost weight, so, even though the scale hasn't budged much in two weeks, stuff is still falling off. … Continue reading Hello World! Miss me?
Dawn
I need to post a quick something. A lady in my life has passed on. She fought addiction for years, and you wouldn't have known it. She was bright, bubbly, and I loved her. May she find the peace she sought so hard to find. Once again, that woman attacks me. It doesn't matter what … Continue reading Dawn
Groove
With all the flying faeces that has happened to me in the last several months, it's no wonder I lost my groove djing. I had to pretty much stop for two weeks, while I did what I had to do. I ran myself ragged, trying to get resources for me and my kids. He closed … Continue reading Groove
Served
I got up yesterday to go to the duty counsel in order to get direction on where to go. He walked out of the office of one of them, and as soon as he saw me, he looked to the ground and went right by me even as I was saying to him "we need … Continue reading Served
Whoops
I fill out forms and more forms and even more forms, as I drive myself into a tizzy. The very needed certificate to prove I took a course years ago has been printed. With this tiny slip of paper, I am suddenly employable. Irony....it's been so long since I took the course and test, that … Continue reading Whoops
Steps forward
I have a gofundme and a PayPal set up for help. I have a "we will survive" goal, and a "we'll be alright, kids" dream. If all the promised money shows up in my bank account, the car will get fixed and I can start working on the next critical bill. Friday, when I was … Continue reading Steps forward
