Tough Stuff

Man, July has not been the kindest month to me. I feel like its a "white knuckle" month. Crys was laid off from Sac county due to budget issues. She was bumped for those of you that know County lingo. And of course once she is laid off the house that we have been waiting for the issues to clear up for almost 9 months now decides to move ahead. We had to let it go given the current situation, which has truly broke my heart. I can not even describe how tired I am of living in an apartment. I try to remember that as far as apartments go the one we live in is great and right next to the river, but it is really starting to get to me.

Its hard to concentrate on my Thesis with all of this going on around me, but I have a deadline of finishing my Lit Review by the end of Aug, so I need to snap out of it. On a positive note, it is now a for sure thing that CSUS will pay me $1850 a month to specialize in childhood mental health. The school wasn't sure they were going to get the funing, but it is secure now.

On another positive note, Crys's parents are coming down from Oregon to see a SF Giants game and they have invited us to come so we're going to meet up with them in San Fran on Thursday-Friday to watch the game and have some down time.

So thats me in a nutshell for this month. Hope all of your summers are going well.

So sad to hear about C's layoff. Must add a tremendous amount of stress. And having to lose out on the house is rotten too. I found writing the lit review to be a painstaking process. Once I got that out of the way, the rest of the thesis pretty much fell into place. I bet you'll feel the same way too. At least the funding and some down time are in the works.

Wow! Two updates and I'm late to see them. Sorry. Between the dental trauma and the August freak-out time, I've been sort of out of it. But, thinking of you.

I'm so glad Crys got that job offer now. Maybe you can both get into more of a routine and things will feel smoother. *hugs to you, my friend*
