It's been such a long time since I've written. I really don't have so much to write about. Things seem the same but different a little better. I'm still at my not great job but I have had some leads as to different employment; got a new car and that was because my old one decided to quit running on me on my way to work one very cold (10 degrees) January morning. Yes, my old car told me "I'm not taking you places anymore". I realized that when it wouldn't even let me get off the busy highway and turn into the bar where my ex-husband lived most of his time. I put alot of money into that beast and it is still running, I think it just didn't want me to drive it anymore because all that was wrong is that it didn't have a drop of antifreeze in it; the plug was loose on the bottom of the radiator. I gave it to my oldest daughter, figured her father didn't do much for her while he was with us and took it as a sign since I broke down right in front of his old watering hole. Weird maybe but it kind of worked out for us all, now she can drive herself to work, pick up her sister from school and do whatever running around. I was real stressed at first because I never (in my just about 50 years of life) have made car payments, and of course, my insurance more than doubled. I'll be OK though, just have to re-group and re-adjust.
