The Rest

We all are working so hard to keep our heads above water. This year has been so difficult to make ends meet.

My chickens are producing eggs. We haven’t had to buy eggs in over a month. Not all of them have been lying, but most have. It has helped and they taste great. I have been giving a few to my boss/friend and he has been enjoying them as well.

There are other things we have done to cut back; it is getting so difficult to keep this up. We can cover our bills, what about the rest? Going to the movie house, or renting a DVD? Staying home gets to old, and so does eating just the same thing over and over. I know, that’s why they call it a depression.

Things I miss, going to Europe and seeing my friends. Also having friends over for a diner, sometimes we can’t even do that. We have lots of things on Ebay and we have pups for sale. They are 10 weeks old and very healthy. The great thing about them is that they cheer us up. Puppies make everything better.

What happens when you have sold everything you can and cut all the corners you can? Then what, it seems there will be second jobs in the near future. If they will hire us, that has yet to be seen.

In the mean time, I have gone through and gotten rid of a lot of old clothes and things I don’t need any more. I love to purge my closets once a year. I have not does this in a few years. It feels great and now I don’t have to worry about it all, just the things I need. I can forget about the rest.

We don’t have any money for anything extra, so I don’t even ask. The few outings we do get to do, I have to savor. They are far and few in between, so forget about places to take out the nice clothes. They will have to wait for a while, as will I.

That’s okay, we have to be content with what we have and forget about the rest. It’s just not going to happen. Not for a while anyway. There is always hope things will turn around and if they don’t we have to make it happen.
