Spent my Monday off cleaning house, knitting, and making black bean chili.
And I learned via the intarwebz how to make a champagne mimosa, which will be key to my solitary inauguration celebration in the morning.
What *did* we do before Google, anyway? Someday, far in the future, the Time Before Google will be known as the *real* Dark Ages....

Don't I know that feeling!
I feel over tired, over worked and neglected. Apart from that...life is good!

*smiling contentedly to myself*
I could not have received better gifts for my birthday...
The role playing game I love moves forward today with today being the deadline to submit moves...
I was gifted with a
totally unexpected Watchy nomination yesterday...
(I won't win, but that doesn't matter)
And Xar passed his dissertation defense and is now officially a Ph.D...
...nope...
I honestly can't think of a way for my day to improve.

There aren't enough expletives in the entire vocabulary on Earth that can sum up the rage I am feeling today. My husband just lost his job. I have no idea what we're supposed to do now.

That makes three Watcher families I have heard are dealing with this in the past couple of weeks. I hope he finds something soon.

Jeez, Jaz, hang in there.
Congrats to Dr. Xar!
And thanks for letting us know, Menolly! (And happy b-day, of course, but I already did that in another thread.
)

I just paid $25,181.86 on my wife's credit cards. I'm not sure how I feel right now. I would imagine beer is gonna happen later today.

Wow!
That's almost as much as we paid for our kitchen/garage to office renovation!
Enjoy your beer dude, you've earned it!

WHOA! Even my credit card debt ain't THAT big...but if you're sharing the love around you can pay off mine as well!

Jeez. I didn't see the posts above mine. I'm sorry for your losses. In a way, I was bragging a little, I had a huge year- kicked ass in a recession. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm sick at my stomach and shaking a little. The cards are in my pocket now, BTW.
I have sales jobs available, but you gotta travel. You can send me a message if you want details. Yes, they are straight commission, but my worst guy made 25k in the last six months, and my best one (actually a gal) make 70k in the last six months.

I feel very grateful to have a steady job as well. I wish the best to all who are having a rough time.
(Oh my, Sea's and Lucimay's avatars are making me melt...)
