Last day of August which means Fall will be here soon. Fall is my favorite season of the year. Cooler temps, beautiful colors. We were married the end of October mostly because October is my favorite month.
We are going on day 3 of Chris being unemployed. He has put his application in at many places around town. If nothing comes of these, he will expand out into nearby towns. He does have an appointment tomorrow with a company here to take a computer assessment test. I'm pretty sure it's one of those employment type tests a lot of companies are doing. They told him the test takes about an hour and a half. I will be doing a lot of praying between now and then.
I am also dealing with a very depressed husband. To be 49 years old and suddenly unemployed again...well, since Monday afternoon he has complained of a constant headache and is extremely tired. He did go to the doctor today since he is still insured for a few more days. Got checked out for his medication refills and his blood pressure is good. So, at least I know the headaches are not from high blood pressure.
It is in times like these you truly appreciate good friends and a good church family. We have had a couple people, both friends and family, step forward to help us out financially. (and a very special friend who listened when I needed someone to listen to me. (((Karen)))) Chris applied for unemployment and so far his application online says "open" and not "denied". If it gets approved we will be OK for a little while if he is unable to find a job right away. I feel the need to begin looking for a job that will give me more hours. I dearly love my job at the church and also my two day a week job at the vet clinic. But, the reality is...I need something that gives me more then 24 hours a week. That may not be so easy to find in with so many people also looking for work, plus living in a small town makes it harder.
So for now...one day at a time. And lots of praying.
