What a stuffed up year it's been
I'm sad and blue about the complete failure of this year and most of this decade to be great for me and my family, but mostly for me
The list of things that are wrong is long and the upsides were few and far between. I am in a sadness debt and I need to find some way to save up the happiness to counter balance this sadness
As it is 31st Dec 2009, it is relevant for me to review the past sad year, so here goes nothing, and I mean nothing good that is...
January: hot days and boring work. Started to build Dee's b'day of paving in the back yard. Kirby changed school and we needed to buy new uniforms and books, as they didn't have a progressive computer plan at the new school. Casey didn't get the uni offer she needed and ended up at Vic Uni with a limited range of course selections
Dee's condition was making her tired and the heat certainly did not help.
February: Even hotter days and bush fires, but not in our part of town. Continued to build the paving. Putting the house on the market at last and looking to get whatever we can for it, as long as it leaves us with a wee bit of equity to take into the next joint. Kirby started school and liked it (yah) Casey started Uni and was looking for positives but not finding many. My job started to go south, with the boss finishing end a co-worker (writing on the floor me thought, but I did nothign about it) Isn't there a saying about evil happening when good men say nothing... Oh Well. Dee changes her work style, spending more time working from home.
March: Starting to cool down now, work is a struggle, with no jobs and no calls.
April:Found a block of land, lost a chance to buy it as Dee and the girls went to NZ for Dee's parents 50th Wedding anniversary
May:
June: Sold the house, quickly and for a slightly below market price, but the owners wanted it as is, and we didn't need to move out and we could rent it for a year, which is a good thing as we began to look at building a new home.
July:
August: Finished up at work, destroyed and humbled. I had some money saved so we struggled on with that
September: Looking for work, optimistic and oh so wrong
October: Looking for work, still optimistic but no joy
November: Starting to panic December will be tough. Still looking but no luck
December: Gave up and went to Centerlink, but they don't want to, or can't help me. lots more to say about this
