When I rise in the morning, it feels very good to realize that it’s a brand new day. New things can occur, and new opportunities can arise. Lately, it seems like my opportunities were shut down; however, I find today that more and more opportunities are being opened in light of the closed doors. This gives me hope.
It reminds me that no matter what happens, the sun will always rise and set. The world will continue to turn as it will, and while things may change slow, I feel like if I keep working hard, and using every opportunity that I receive instead of passing it up, that things will work out okay. I’ll admit that lately there have been times when I’ve wanted to simply shut down; the going is certainly pretty tough right now. However, I keep being reminded of how hard I have worked to get to where I am now, and everything that hinges on my steady work.
Today I had an interview with the unemployment office. Apparently I made a mistake in my application; I accidentally put my previous employer twice, not realizing they were asking about my work with Web Marketing Solutions. In addition, my previous employer is attempting to claim that I spent my time surfing the web rather than working… Which is unfair to me, when I always had work done on time, and did everything he wanted me to do, when he wanted me to do it. The only real web surfing I remember was perhaps while waiting for things to upload/waiting on Photoshop to restart, and during my lunch break. Either way, it doesn’t save him from the fact that he has not paid me in over a month and a half.
The fact that he continues to lie worries me that perhaps it is going to be a rocky road ahead. As it stands, life has already been quite a rocky road. Of course, nobody ever promised that it would be perfect and easy, and in truth I welcome the challenge. However, with financial difficulties, and difficulties remaining in school because of financial woes, I’ll admit that I would very much like to have the next month or so done and over with.
I will admit that my temper has been rather short with the people I’m close to, and I haven’t been able to deliver quite as much work lately as I normally would have. Today, however, I worked towards returning to my original schedule of rising and sleeping a bit earlier, that way I can get more productive daylight hours in. Of course, this was interrupted with some job searching, and the interview with unemployment concerning my claim.
In addition, I do worry a little bit about Haxx. I noticed today that she’s lost a little bit of weight; I gave her some extra mango in hopes that her favorite fruit will keep her eating, and I switched around her toys a little bit. She’s a bit overdue with getting a new toy, but I honestly can’t help that until I receive another payment. As I might need to temporarily leave her behind in August, I’ve been trying to spend some quality time with her every day. It’s difficult with the cats around and the two of us being on opposite ends of the house, but I don’t think anything will make me love my little bird child any less.
