You know what comes next. Such a roller-coaster of emotions, this year has been. On top of everything that's happened—deaths in the family (one very sudden), my cancer diagnosis/surgery/recovery, and plans for starting a family completely disrupted—Jason found out yesterday that the company he was working for is going out of business, as of yesterday, leaving him on the hunt for a new job.
Things could be worse; I have amazing insurance. My medical bills through this whole process have racked up to almost six digits, and we've only seen $25-$45 co-pay's here and there. I'm not done yet either - I have another surgery and 5 years of medication coming up. The bills could very likely surpass what we took out as a mortgage on our house.
Yes, the unemployment Jason will collect will be less than his salary, but his confidence, skills and talent will land him a great job, and soon too. From the moment he heard the news, he's been sending his resume out. He's not wasting any time and I'm so thankful he's so on the ball. If he doesn't stress about money, I won't stress about money.
Our worst day is still a better day than many other people in this world are having. It took me awhile yesterday afternoon (between wiping tears and sobbing to my sister on the phone - hey, it's a lot to handle in a short period of time) to remind myself to be grateful for everything we have. Pitty party - table for one.
Timing, ohhh you sweet son of a b****. You're awful right now.
