Well, I got laid-off February 27, 2009. This is the first time I've been involuntarily unemployed --- I'm not liking it much. Finding a job with benefits that pays what I need is going to be nearly impossible. I'm trying. Susana is being extremely supportive and helping all she can. My parents and my sister have also offered to help. I will not accept their help though, unless I just can't avoid it. Dallas and Savannah, especially Savannah, have been understanding and as helpful as they can be.
I have signed up with every job place online; gone to every company website I can think of anywhere in the area to look for jobs; signed up for freelance websites, etc.; but what I really need is benefits.
Because of my past health problems I would never be able to get my own health insurance that would be in the least bit affordable. It must be a job with health insurance benefits. Even if I have to take less pay and get a second job.
I'd like to move away from Graphics and yet I'd hate to loose my skills in that area. I love graphic design. I love creating and picking out fonts and searching for just the right photo or creating just the right graphic design. If I leave the business altogether, I'm going to miss it, but I see it falling by the wayside. As more and more people get better on their own computers and graphics programs get easier to use, the need for my skills grows less and less. Makes me sad.
Right now, well, on Thursday, Susana is having surgery on her thumb and I just want her to get through that and be okay. I love her so much. I don't like seeing her in pain and I don't like for her to have to have surgery but she must. Whatever is dwelling in her thumb must come out. I pray all will be fine.
I'm trying not to worry too much... it is slightly unavoidable, but so far I'm doing pretty good. About all things.
Life goes on.
