We "pimped our blog" today.. with Cats! Seems to be OK.
Filled out more on-line applications, received unemployment check...I haven't even spent the first one! That's how conservative I am getting. I made some changes to my Linked-In profile. I am trying to get noticed, trying to get the phone to ring. We have no clue what we can and will do to survive until we are pushed to the limit as I have been.

I may have found a solution to my sleeplessness...taking some of my medications in the morning instead of at night. I need to set a late night limit to my computer usage also.

Remember the times when there were not any credit cards? No cell phones? When you needed to buy something you didn't just "burn cash" but you budgeted and saved for the purchase. If you wanted to make a major purchase, perhaps you worked more overtime or got a second job. When you needed to make a phone call, you either made it from home or went to a pay phone. There was more camaraderie in the neighborhood. Everyone looked out for each other. Workplaces had investments in time and relationships with their employees. Layoffs were unheard of! As a culture, we have gone too far the other way with excess. We now have two classes in this society, the upper and the lower class. Sadly, many of us in the lower class were once prosperous upper middle class professionals. I hope we can again...someday.

Pray for your neighbors, friends and relatives who are seeking employment, or are experiencing forclosure. We may all face these circumstances someday.

Till next time, God Bless!
