Sorry for my absence.

It's been an awful week, and I just needed to get away from it before I could write about it.

It started with the email from weddingbee. I'm not what they're looking for at the time being. It was disappointing, and I could have handled it if it weren't for the fact that it was only the beginning.

The next day I lost my job. My position is being eliminated at the end of the month. I have an interview tomorrow with a recommendation from my boss elsewhere inside the company, but I'm still really worried. John's temp position ends at the end of the month, too, so we could both be jobless as of March. We've given ourselves until April 1 to find new jobs (or even just a job! We could squeeze by on one salary for a little while) or we'll have to postpone.

Then I got a ticket on Friday. Happy Friday the 13th to me. It was my first violation ever. And I discovered while going to pay for gas that I left my check card at a restaurant the night before. It was safe, but still.

What an emotionally exhausting and awful week. I could have handled any of those things alone, but together, it was really overwhelming. I don't want to say this week can only be better, lest I invoke Murphy's Law, but I sure hope it is.
