30 day Shred- Day 16 & more.

Day 16

I did it today. it was horrible. I did level 3 and had to sit down and rest for some of it, and watch the tv to see how the hell they were doing it.  too much jumping jillian!

Besides that - i had a horrible day at work.  I basically had a breakdown- so working out was the LAST thing on my mind.. but i did it.. (half assed).  then passed out with a wee nap.

So....When i was unemployed (for 9 months) I got a low form of vertigo because of stress... so guess whats back!!!   uh huh...  it cause me to get very dizzy.. and that was happening during this dang work out today (I'm sorta becoming over it- the work out)......

but anyway...guess what causes this form of vertigo to keep coming back-  STRESS - remember my last post?

My horrible day at work had to do with that  previous post. And i really appreciate your personal emails/ and messages to help me through this process.  I still don't know what we are going to do, but to have my "plan" interrupted is heartbreaking to me.

i know that it will all work out, and i have been very humbled because I KNOW this is by no way the worst thing to happen. (by no means).
 I'll make sure and tell you more of the plan as we figure out what we are going to do next.

Keep you posted...

Stress

Hey you guys,

i am very stressed out today.  Remember when i said we had some good news the other day?  Well the good news is- Andrew got a new job!!! 

Its very exciting.  He has been working in retail since i have known him (11 years).  And he was really hating it and becoming depressed.   He got offered a job for a company this fixes MAC computers (he's a pro at Apple products).  He will be working Mon- Fri 9-5pm- WEEKENDS OFF!! Normal holiday hours off!!!!  - we haven't spent xmas together in years, because i still go to Dallas and he is normally not allowed to take vacation during the busiest shopping holiday of the year!  And they are allowing him to continue teaching! (he teaches college Art History and 3-D design at a local commutiny college). and that's awesome.

So this is really going to change our lives, and i am super excited about it for sure.  BUT!!!  Of course there is a but......

His new job- does not offer health insurance.  And i have plans ya'll!!!  We can discuss those plans at a later date... but we NEED health insurance. 

So, now the stress begins.. do we get independent health insurance, can i get us BOTH covered under my job?  Is there... maternity leave (for one day if/when i decide its baby time)....  omg, i am stressing. Should i move to Canada?  Lots of questions, and yes lots of options... but oh man. it's rough.

The only problem with getting insurance through my job is: i already make 10 dollars every 2 weeks (practially!!!) - i make no money.  So then if my insurance is coming out of that, it'll be brutal.. but Andrew did get a raise in his new job.... so perhaps it'll even out?? 
Also, if i get insurance through my job- i'll never get a raise.  (i'll be here 2 years in Oct.- not one raise...) it's awesome.  BUT, i am very thankful to have a job in this economy..!!  I digress.... 

I just wanted to vent a little.... I know we will figure it out, and in the long run I am SO HAPPY Andrew can leave his old job and do something he respects more and be happy. 

We are very lucky that he found a job that he will hopefully love in this economy.. just please send good thoughts to the insurance gods that we will find a good insurance plan.....   and a policy we can afford.
