Meltdown.
Have you ever had those weeks where you just have a brain meltdown. You've been bombarded with so many questions that you either don't want to answer or you just plain have no answer to.
Alot of things have been happening. Work has gotten progressivley unstable, and it couldn't have happened at a worse time. We bought a car a week ago, we were going to get the Sunfire, but we decided in a last move of ; " uh oh what if we're buying a lemon" state of panic and went to an actual dealership; Kia.
In a twist of utter shocking actuality, we received a better deal, they saved us 300$ a month, gave us an unbelievable warranty, paid for our plates, AND we got to drive the car off the lot with 42KM on it. Raven picked the color: Cherry Red.
So, me and Chris being all proud and happy of our luck. Feeling all grown up. Got to work and received a letter:
Dear so-and-so,
We are pleased to announce....... new contract........ unfortunatly pay cut.......sign or be terminated....... no chance for EI........ have a nice day.
After a few minutes of stunned silence the entire establishment erupted. I was loosing a dollar an hour, Chris was loosing 1.25. Some may say yeah big deal...a dollar. Well for me who has a daughter and is receiving no child support or help from her father, AND we JUST BOUGHT a new car.... that money is needed and appreciated. Not to be though. A week passed and after several good-byes to many of my friends who had worked with me for so long, they left. Many people threatened with suits and yelled of the unfairness. The truth of the matter is alot of us can't afford to not be here. So I signed the letter, took my pay cut, and am here at work as usual.
Other than that unpleasentness, It's been not that bad really. With access to the car, the three of us have been able to go to the park, have picnics, and go to the beach whenever we want. It's been ok. The family is moving on with the loss of Mikey, we all miss him, and are trying to cope. All our support now is with the living, making sure his family is ok.
So other than the unstability of my job, the termoil everywhere else... I get to go home to my beautiful little girl who wakes me up every morning with, " Good morning Mommy, did you have good sleeps?" and roll over and kiss my love on the cheek.
the only thing I keep saying in my head is, "Keep on, keeping on."
