My comfy couch on the Internet. Knitting, kitties, family, etc. Powered by coffee.

The other foot... or the truck, or whatever

You know, it was just at Christmastime that Peter and I were reveling in our new home, jobs secure, finances in order, kitties and family happy and healthy. And I said, "I'm scared. Things never go this well."

I should have shut up. Less than a week later my Granddad died. The stupid bus strike goes on and on and friggin' on. Every piece of knitting I pick up, I screw up. And now, turns out we made a MAJOR oversight in our finances and things are going to possibly be very ugly for the foreseeable future. Frak.

The upside is that we still have secure jobs, our home, our kitties and family (one less family person, sadly), and our health. But the money thing - that was a real kick in the danglies, when we really thought we had it together. Argh argh frickin' argh.

Heh. The funny thing? I quit smoking 2 weeks ago. I could REALLY go for one now, but I can't afford them. Lucky thing hey?
