2009 and a SAD 2008

Wow, the new year came so fast it seems! Thank god, the end of 2008 was CRAP! Let me elaborate why.

So I had left my full time job at the local hospital pharmacy to open a small business right? Wrong! Everything that could go wrong went completely wrong! I don't feel like going into detail, so below is a bulleted list of what happened:

• Invested half my retirment into my business
• Invested the rest into stocks
• Stock market fell - lost ALL my money
• Business failed - lost ALL my investment
• Could not find a FT job (hospital would not take me back)
• Did part time work - never made enough to cover the bills
• Lost my truck
• Lost my house
• Lost about 43lbs over all.

Yup! That is exactly what happened! What a shit story right?! Anyway, that was from October to January 09. After January however, things started to look up. I began to research where I went wrong with my business, the stock market was inevitable I suppose, I'll have to find how to get that back.

Anyway, I currently have two part time jobs that pay well so I am able to make the bills. My husband and I are currently in a spacious apartment- besides the fact we lost our home and our transportation, however we now walk to the store which really isn't that far at all.

I did revamp my business and opened a Virtual Assistant business now. I work Freelance mostly among the two PT jobs I have. So things are working out, I am tired much of the time since I am on the computer almost 24/7 with the exception of sleep ;).

Yeah, the end of 2008 sucked ass! But this year is looking much better, I have to thank everyone that helped us survive that crappy year. My parents, my sisters, Thanks Angel, Adela & Ashley! Even though Angel hates me right now, I suppose I would hate me too. But I am going to pay back your credit card debt, sorry I ran them up.

Anyway, that was the end of 08, can you see why I didn't write very much at all? What a noob! Thanks!
