Argh!!!!!!

What a crock...the state denied my unemployment again...My former employer did not even participate in the hearing, they even told the lady that they were not contesting it. I just don't understand. I am going to appeal it again. Maybe third time will be the charm.

I did get a call from a job I applied for, an initial interview I guess. It seemed to go well. I am keeping my fingers crossed and prayers said. I would enjoy this job too.

My husband is doing better, finally. We have managed to get his blood sugar down some. Still alittle high, but better than it was. We are learning what to and not to eat. It is going to be tough, but we can do it.

I am getting back in touch with friends from my past, recent and further back. I love hearing how everyone is doing. I hate that I lost touch with so many people. I hope that I will be able to meet up with some of them soon.

I guess I am kinda rambling on but felt the need to update a couple of things today. I will let y'all know how things are going soon.

Where to begin...

These past couple of days have been a bit crazy. I don't even know where to start. I had my appeal hearing for my unemployment benefits Monday morning. They contacted my former employer and the manager said "We aren't contesting it". Then when asked if they were refusing to participate in the hearing, He said that is correct. What the heck? I am hoping that this works to my benefit and I finally get approved.

Then yesterday afternoon I had to meet with my attorney over an hour away. My car began acting crazy and on the way home...It shut down. I was about half way home and had to call for help. We guessed it to be the alternator and once my help got there we jumped it off. We did that twice. Then the third time we went to do it, the car started smoking and sparks flew. I guess it shorted out and now I have no power at all. I had to get a tow truck to come get it. We couldn't even put it in neutral...

One of my relative was robbed this morning...It was like the guy was waiting for her. She is okay, although shaken and will probably be a bit sore.

It is only Tuesday...I am trying to save positive... It is hard right now but hopefully things will turn around and get better.

I am sure there will be more to this story...but for now this is enough...
