A New Day

  Today is a warm sunny day- that is one thing I love about his area- even in the winter there is bright sunshine!    We are making it- one day at a time!  We were denied govt. help, even thouh we met the qualifications, and were told there must have been some kind of mistake, and to reapply!   So we will.  My husband has a job interview tomorrow!  There are so many blessings in between the nagging financial stresses- we are hoping he will get it-he went to a staffing agency this time, and because he is a big dude, and done a lot, they are almost sure to have a position.  School isn't over for another year.  He was elected class president yesterday, which we are excited about!  We have food- somehow it always stretches just a little farther- even my wonderful coffee with flavored creamer in the morning.( A luxury for me, since coffee is now a 'non-necessity item' on our 'budget'.  Like a treat.  BTW- how do you budget when you have no money to budget,LOL????)  Life is interesting, even though I live it vicariouly through my husband these days.  I am applying to an online school for medical transcriptionist, which guarantees job placement apon graduation.  So, while we are still prety out of money, there are positives happening that money can't buy.
