Today is Wednesday, Day 3 on the countdown until I'm unemployed. I've already started to cut costs and asked my husband for an allowance starting mid month. I dropped my daughter from before and after care - there's $285 a month down. And this weekend was the Grand Opening of Aldi near us. Anyone been to that grocery store? It's all generic foods, but some good buys. I made my shopping list for the local grocery store and then went there. If I found it there cheaper, I bought it. Bread - $.25, Eggs $.89, Oranges $1.99/4lb bag. $27 later, I already had half my groceries at a third of the price! I'm scared to try the meat though...I saved that for Shoprite.
I've been applying anywhere and everywhere, but haven't heard anything back. It's a little discouraging; a setback, but it's all good. We've got some research labs in the area that use humans as guinea pigs. I've done it before for extra cash, so in the mean time, that'll do for gas money and such.
I'm real excited for Friday to come. I've worked since I was 16 years old. I stayed home when my daughter was born for a year, but other than that, I've always been working. My current plan is to pick two rooms a day and scrub those suckers good! I started a physics class last week. It's harder than I expected so I'll be studying and doing math problem an hour or two a day. My nephew was born in October. I've had a quilt that's been sitting waiting to be made. There's some new cousins in the family I've yet to meet. I'll be making a home cooked meal each night and finally have some down time to enjoy with the family. Even though it won't be paid, I'll still be working and enjoying every minute!
