Finally made it through the beginning of the year. It's been a doozy. In 4 days, the first full month of 2010 will be in the history books. For some, not much has changed, for others a lot has changed. I am in the latter group.
So for me, in the months of Decemember and January, a ton has changed. I have moved into two different houses, been sued, been yelled at, and had to learn two different commuting routes to get to work. Sadly, both routes take the same amount of time, 1.5 hours to be exact. I am now waking up at about 0430, and out of the house no later then 0530. Then I get to joyously leave work at 1600, and hope to be home around 1730. The first move was from a place that my parents owned, which was too small for us with the addition of Minicoder. So we moved into a 2 bedroom, 1 bath townhouse on the other side of town. I was quite happy until I found out that our beloved governor decided to strip me of more tax money. So, I am now bringing home less money then I was last year. At the same time, I don't foresee a raise in my future, at least not if I stay with my company. As for the lawsuit, my mom claims that it was to get the utilities turned on in her name at the first place we lived in, I think it was because she wanted me to payback the money that I owe her. Either way, we will find out as this year progresses.
On my list of stuff to do for the year, I am looking for a job that is near where I am currently living, and praying that the wife wants to stay there. I know I do. Other then that, not wasting time with things that don't matter, paying bills, and getting back on our feet so I can move into a place of my own. Yup, that's it for this episode. See you soon
