Meh... I don't have $10 for a stickie this time.. but I have better?
:cry:

stupid unemployment for almost a year now

I checked under my couch cushions and came up with: $2.08 in change, a stale cheeto, lots of dog hair, a hair tie, a remote to a tv we donated awhile ago, someone's bicycle that said "Elrond stole me", a receipt for Circuit City, and a coupon for dinner at the Olive Garden.



what does that get me???

4. The hair tie is mine!
I thought it was gone forever! Thank you for finding it!

I thought I was going to have to use MY unemployment to buy another one! :o

6. Lots of us are in similar circumstances
:hug: It would be great if we could all afford to donate to every drive, to every call from Obama's campaign but the reality is that a lot of us are deciding between gas for the car or food for the table. We do what we can and there's nothing to be ashamed of with that.

7. I hate it... I really do
I hate being out of work, I hate being depressed, and I hate not being able to give to what I believe in.

I am pissed that I have not used my unemployment time better... you know to work out, clean the house, brush up on my work skills... sheesh for the last year I have been having a giant pity party. Still on antidepressants, seeing a therapist, nothing works

doesn't help that my granparents got sick and my grandpa just passed away still... I wish I could rebound better. Thankfully I have a wonderful and employed husband.. otherwise I know it would be a lot worse.


:hug:

9. I see no proof it is your bicycle.. it says "Elrond stole me"
from what I gather... Elrond has been stealing many things... how do I know this is yours?

post a pic

until then I will continue to play with the sparkly handlebar streamers... pretty
