So here we are again with my update of the year.
I've been apathetic and just plain grumpy lately.
To everybody I haven't really made much effort to keep in contact with I apologize, it's just been a rough couple months. let me start with the bad as it is a tale of woe and near depressive catatonia. Seriously, I wouldn't lie about this, I mean it's teh internetz!!!!

Well Nov passed roughly as my loverly wife kept pressing me to find a job. I desperately searched but nobody would touch me as I couldn't give them hours they wanted as I had school. We blew my financial aid on our house deposit, first and last months rent so that didn't help much. Thanksgiving past with less fighting than in the last few years it was great I think we were actually getting along during the holidays however, my wife and I retired to our corners to come out swinging later. It didn't take long we got kerschmacked with a big garnishment of my wife's wages. Let's say her whole pay check as they hit her bank and since she has direct deposit it was seen as an asset rather than a paycheck so they got the whole thing rather than the max 25% they can actually take from a paycheck. This left us high and dry and me a bit resentful.

Well resentful for the first 5 hours then kind of shocked, lost, and with a feeling of helplessness after that. I really had no idea what to do who to talk too or even where to start, except bitch to my friends. All of whom helped in their own way through support, food, a couple presents for Ri, and a few cash donations. We old our bed frame so we could afford to eat, our landlords were very understanding and allowed us to wait til H's next paycheck for December's rent. I fell into a funk as school ended and probably made it to 10% of my remaining classes. I was finally able to get a job since school was over and my boss was very understanding in giving me mucho hours to try and make up what I missed.

Well my wife the little trooper that deserves more than I could ever give her, got us lined up to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer, and we went to our first meeting. he was a good guy I felt as ease as did my wife who's met with a few shady lawyers in the past as we've discussed bankruptcy for her from time to time. He cut a deal with us and we went about collecting fundage for the proceedings. We had to attend a workshop that all potential bankruptcy people have to attend and we were so broke they let us attend without paying the fees associated with it. In the workshop they talked about cutting corners and saving cash here and there. Sadly H and I have done all of that I haven't had new clothes in the last year, except for the shirt that me mum buys me every 6 months or so. H hasn't had any new clothes in the last 6 months. We haven't been on a date in 8 months, we haven't had fast food in the last 7ish months nor gone out to eat in the last 8ish months. We don't have cable, we had basic phone service and the only reason we have cable internet is because I need it for side jobs when they appear. However, we had only to complete paying the lawyer our monies and have him file the paperwork. We are on our way and waiting for our meeting for the bankruptcy proceedings. We decided it would be smart for us to both declare bankruptcy as her creditors may try to come after me. Luckily, up until now we've had separate bank accounts as we both like our respective banks and we've just been too lazy to go and add each other to our accounts. One saving grace at the time. So we managed to salvage xmas and had a very meaningful New Year's as we had good friends over and just enjoyed a relaxed evening hanging out with those that we love and adore out side of our families.

So as the new year begins things look up. I started school and I think I will enjoy all my classes, I am working and making decent money for what I do I spose, H has plans for grad school and fully support her. She is going to try multiple schools but Im thinking we will probably be here as she knows pretty much the whole biology department and so far they have the best compensation for grad students. She is hoping for her doctorates, and I will help her in all I can. The new year really is a new start for our little family and I intend to make the most of it.

For those of you that know me very well you know I am prone to moments of irrational anger and just bone shaking sadness. I've had to come to terms with this as I work towards making my marriage work. I've come to realize I don't always keep others feelings and needs in mind. I am happier with school as I am now in classes where I am actually learning and not just regurgitating knowledge I already have from my experience, normally wrong answers according to the text and course material but correct in modern day applications. Lately I've had a cold and been having episodes of insomnia, I wonder what that means. Oh well things are looking up and after that long entry I don't have time for self evaluation. See ya!
