Christmas Recap.

I had a great Christmas. I am truly lucky to have such great friends and family. I was no able to give Christmas presents to anyone, but everyone understood. My boyfriend and I had agreed that we would not buy Christmas presents for each other this year, but somehow how he talked Santa into buying me a few really nice presents. Thanks T! It was a surprise! I asked if he would get me some milk from the grocery store and he came home with wrapped presents too.

Woohoo!

I got an interview for a part time accounting job. That in itself it not exciting, but it's for a landscaping company. Anyone who's a long time reader will know that I love to garden. I've had a vegetable garden for several years and have always loved to play in the dirt.
The interview is not for two weeks, but I like to have something to look forward to.

Christmas Eve has been fun so far. Ghost Hunters Marathon. Opening of Christmas presents. (yes, I realize it's early. I rarely make it until Christmas day.) My boyfriend and I watched "Hangover", "District 9", and some Disney movie with rodents. We have been lazy for the past few days. We had a snow storm that dumped about 8 inches of snow. I need to shovel my way out tomorrow. It's on 15 degrees right now though. I think I will wait.

Merry Christmas!

What day is it?

Seriously, I'm unemployed for less than a week and time is all distorted. There aren't many jobs posted today. I'm not surprised. I don't think there's going to be much posted until after the new year.
I spent $37 yesterday at the grocery store. I purchased fruits, vegetables, milk, coffee and a cheap flank steak. My boyfriend and I will be spending the holidays at my parents' house so I won't need to much food this week.
I received $3 from Pinecone Research. I love them Pinecone checks!!!!!!! I should be getting my last paycheck today as well as a payout of my vacation.
Called the doctor today and asked if he could increase my antidepressants a little until I feel better. I'm on a very low dose and he said that I could increase it they don't work after a while or something bad happens.
I am trying to be positive about finding a job soon. Have a great Monday!

So I crunch the snow...

I quit my job last week. My employers won. I was too exhausted, miserable and depressed to fight on. I know I will find another job that will be much more positive. I will get my self-esteem back now that I have left. I couldn't stand seeing their ugly faces every day. I have plenty of friends there that supported me in my decision. By the way, I'm in accounting and I quit right before year end and before I could train anyone (Haha!) Good luck suckers!

So the last few days I've been running and doing yoga. I love running in the winter when the sun is shining and it's above freezing. I crunch the snow along the side of the road. It's very therapeutic. I feel like I'm getting all the bad negative energy out of me.

My goal is to not get back into debt.

What's been going on with Moving on up????

So I haven't been blogging. I have too much anxiety. I've worked at my company for 2 1/2 years. My last review said I exceeded expectations. Then my company fired most of the managers, fired a 1/3 of the company and are still firing at least one person every week or two. Then, out of the blue, I had a review that said I suck at my job. I almost quit on the spot, but i remained at the job thinking someone was just having a bad day. I was hired for one job then they changed my job description. A lot else has happened at my company, but it will take me several hours to describe. Let's just say I was written up for things I haven't even learned how to do yet.

So yesterday I was "suspended" for my job and sent home for two days unpaid. I have been so depressed lately and have thought about upping my dose of antidepressants. I am suspended until Monday.

$212 left of credit card debt.

I wish I had some more money in my savings. I would just pay that last bit off. I haven't been very frugal lately. I've spent money on some clothes and shoes. My shoes had holes in them and we really cold and wet in the snow. :) I need a few long sleeve t-shirts. I'm glad I purchased some warmer clothes. It was 3 degrees this morning. My wet hair froze when I went outside. I hate that feeling!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
