So I am thrilled that 2013 is here. I'm going to start with the good news - I'm currently working doing Tech Support and have a phone interview with a much larger company on Tuesday. Money is great and is coming in so I'm a little more emotionally settled in right now.
2012 sucked really bad. First it started in Feb when my brother surviving brother had to go to the ER because he blew up like a balloon and was in pain. He was diagnosed with liver failure (whatever the actual medical term is) he's on a donor list now at Stanford so at least that may have a happy ending but it's still wait and see.
The second issue is that not only was i note working and making money but my mom who was fighting her second bought of cancer got really sick. She had cancer and COPD/emphysema from smoking 68 of her 80 years etc. She developed AFIB from lack of oxygen and had been on oxygen for the last couple months of her life and constant breathing treatments. For a few months I was her in house home care, taking vitals, doing her meds up for her, cleaning her...
She physically could not stand up on her own anymore so I had to help with everything she did. The harsh part is the doctors said 6 months and she only lasted a couple weeks. I was prepared for a long haul and it ended up not being that.
She passed away in August.
This is also why i had been selling off my equipment, to avoid losing the house since I had no money coming in while i was doing this and my brother is too sick to work. Now I'm working, making very good money so I can relax a little.
So I've started keeping track of all the positive things that happen moving forward as I had enough negative in my life the last few years to hold me over for a very long time.
