Whew....

I swear if things don't calm down in my life for a VERY VERY VERY long time...I will go postal. About 3 yrs of non stop struggling. I am so done. 🙂 In a usual Leo fashion I have always won at these battles. I lost my job at end of Sept. due to the Gov't Shutdown and Internal Budget cuts as the companies budget was aligned with the gov't fiscal year. replaced by a JR. making half of what I did. After a couple of months of trying to fight it out and the impeding Holidays and not having family in the area anymore, I decided about two weeks before New Years to pack up the house, put things in storage and move the kids and I five states away to my birth place where I still had a bunch of family in the area. Got the kids enrolled in school so they can finish the second part of the school year off in the new schools.

I started looking for a new job immediately, and ran into some walls. One being the market is not as moving as it is where I had moved from. Two, I had a specific set of skill sets that is not as needed in the area I am now. I am more analytics and here they look for more technical skills in my profession. Not that I couldn't learn it!?!?!?! But, it was for the best. I had moved in with my grandmother until I could get a job and get my own place. She fell very ill and it required a lot of my attention. Sadly, she passed away.

The next day I got a call for a job. I started less than two weeks later and making the same amount of money I was making back where I had moved from. In this area, that is very good money. So, I have been at my new job for 3 weeks now and happy things are starting to turn in the right direction. Now, just keep going in that direction....PLEASE

Glad to know that things are finally looking up for you!! I also hope that they will continue moving in a positive direction for you!

Now send some o' the good stuff my way because the past couple of years have been pretty crummy for me too 😢
