I'm back, for awhile.
By now I'm sure you've all seen how this goes.
I write for a few days in a row. Then I disappear for a month, maybe two. But today, I'm here.
And so, I write to you all:
Happy extremely belated New Year- I hope it was wonderful! We visited Ohio and had great times with our wonderful families and friends. Also, I didn't have a computer for the entire 2 weeks I was there, so it was difficult to write (that's a good excuse for now).
This is the year I've been dreading for, eh, 2 years now. This is the final year of school!!! Which actually just means the most difficult and stressful year of my life. Basically, I have 5 classes left (including the one I'm in now) and I go directly into "internships" which we called Supervised Practicum (legal reasons). These practicums will last for 8 months, I will work 40 hours a week and I will work for FREE. Gah. It literally hurts me to think about this even for a second.
And so, somehow, I'm going to have to figure out exactly how I can continue doing assignments for school, work a 40 hour/week job, and balance a REAL job on the side, for the bills and stuff.
And on top of this? We are 90% sure Jordan (hubby) will be losing his job in the rather near future. The earliest would be February 15, and the latest would be the end of August. And so, I'm stressed. As I should be. Except, there's literally nothing I can do about it, besides not shop and spend all of our money while we have decent income.
But, NO WORRIES. Because so far this year has been wonderful. I've, in fact, already done enough really fun things that if I stopped now, I would be okay for awhile (: And that's a great feeling. We even bought tickets for the next few months, so that when the time comes we won't lose any out of pocket money (it's practically already gone to us, terrible logic, I know).
I'm not here for sympathy (I already know it all sucks) but I'm here to say this: No matter what, I know that we will be okay and that things will work themselves out. It may not go as smoothly as I'm hoping, but we will be OKAY.
I hope you all find your silver linings in whatever issues you're facing today, because we're allowed to be upset and stressed, but we will always be okay (usually).
Enjoy your Manic Monday!
Xoxo,
B!
