Sargovian Chronicles?!?

During my unemployment I have time to kill. Today just to keep myself sane I have been listening to old parody songs and Dr. Demento faves. Looking for work really stinks believe me, I forgot how the search actually becomes a full time job in itself! But lately something else has been sparking inside my mind that has been haunting me for a few years and that is the several stories that have been collecting dust. I started the collection back in high school and had won 3 awards with The Old House on the Hill and The Adventures of Striker the Rat. Of course none of these stories were ever published and one day I may actually do so, but some of them are quite bizarre. Most of the time while writing these stories I was listening to the likes of Pink Floyd and other interesting music. So the mood of most of these stories are a bit dark, but I have hope that I could revise the majority of them others there is no way I can change them.

Could things be looking up?

I am one who tries her best to always look on the positive side of life, even though things tend to run south quite quick for me. Sometimes I think that people are placed in our lives on purpose, just to remind us that yes there are others that are either in the same predicament or worse. I am thankful I have my health and able to walk on my own two feet. I have companionship of a very good friend so I am not alone.

Even though things are going pretty rough for us, we are sturdy and are able to fight what comes our way. Thankfully at the moment, we are starting to build a support system, shoulders to cry on and a cheering section to push us toward our goal. Believe me it isn't easy to do so, but one day I have a feeling things will fall into place for us.

Right now nothing bad has happened since the tire incident. We tend to fall into traps every two weeks. So right now I have placed all my faith in the Lord that he will finally shine some light upon us and bring us from the trials that have plagued our lives for the last few months and allow us to heal and grow back into the light.

With hope in my heart that the sun will come out tomorrow, I trek on wondering what is lying around the corner and hoping that even with the greatest of trials the Lord is with us and carry us out of the rain.

Welcome Back Shark Attack!

Once upon a time the used to be a frequent haunt of mine. My blog, my home away from home. Sadly I ranaway for a bit, found sites like Myspace and Facebook, those brought be back in contact with old familiar faces and brought me together with some folks I may have at one point felt as if they had fallen off the earth as they may have felt simular for me.

I am back and will attempt to post a regular blog here. I've been missing this blog option on facebook and was looking for options again.

Well lets start out with what has been going on lately, sadly my life seems to be that constant roller coaster, ups and downs, loop da loops and non-stop stress. Lets see how can I start? Well lets start out with sadly, my employer decided to let me go while I was in the hospital, so now I am fighting every tom dick and harry in search of employment.

Three or four days after I lose my job, the air conditioner in the house breaks down. I have very little funds to survive on so Steve and I suffer in the heat for 2 months until we have enough money to afford a costly repair bill.

I thought that would be the last problem for a little while hoping that Steve and I could start saving some money and perhaps have a little nest egg for emergencies. Sadly that is not the case for us, the next thing that occurred was a bill decided to come in early and overdraw my bank account for over 200 dollars. Then two of the car's tires that I had just replaced became warped and bubbled.

I was lucky the tires were still under warranty, so that wasn't an issue, but the overdrafts were, it made life very tough, we lived on pennies. I was lucky that all the bills were paid before that occurred.

Bills bills bills, non-stop bills. Everytime believe I am getting ahead yet another bill shows its ugly head and keeps my bank account screaming for assistance. A few weeks ago, I thought I was finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel but boy was I wrong, we had a rear tire blow out on our way to get an appointment to see a doctor. The only positive light for Steve and I that time is the tire blew right next to a 24 hour Walmart. Steve was able to get the doughnut spare on and we were on our way. Sadly though we are at the mercy of trying to get new rear tires for our car.
