GETTING BACK ON TRACK

Hello from Hunter,

Getting back on track is really hard. I have written before that I have been struggling to get a decent job. I have an amazing job interview this Thursday and i am very excited. As part of the interview process they will do a credit check..This will be a problem as my credit is about as bad is it can get including mortgage defaults, etc....BUT I have both the professional experience and the personal experience to make me an ideal candidate for the position. I have processed how to handle the credit issue with several people I trust and I have decided to be honest upfront so they are not surprised and to present it in a positive way-I CHOSE to put my family first and became a caregiver for my mom, my husband, and my child. It was impossible to work full time and carry this burden. I worked as many odd jobs as I could and took advantage of gov't assistance programs but i still have not been able to pay my bills... This job can change all of that. AND it is not just another job it is an amazing opportunity that I would really enjoy. SO to my friends who read this blog, please send prayers. I will need them. I am really going to put 1000% into this interview opportunity, including buying a new outfit tomorrow (a big splurge).

Other stuff. Mark is almost 5 months sober. It is hard for him and I understand. It is the first time he has dealt with his feelings instead of running away from them..It makes him hard to live with but I am also so very proud of him and full of respect for his commitment to recovery.

Lots' to do but I am exhausted.
