Hello all. It's been a while. I've had some sad stuff going on lately. My aunt is manic depressive and stopped taking her medication. Anyone who knows what manic depressive is knows this means she went crazy. She was talking about people living under her house, her phones being bugged, and people trying to kill her. My sister and grandmother had to take her to a mental hospital. She is out now but still a little unstable. My great-grandmother fell down and got hurt very badly. She can't walk on her own. Doctor Pawluk, my high school law teacher, mentor, good friend, and adopted father passed away. He died Sunday, Dec 4th of a massive heart attack. I'm not taking this news so well. I lost my job. All of these things happened in the same week and I was out of work for 3 days. My old boss doesn't care about family. He thinks he is God and comes before EVERYTHING. Asshole. Anyway he told me to make a choice. Either I stayed (after finding out that Doc died) and show him my job is important to me and mourn while I work or I leave and I don't have a job. My family comes before ANYONE in my life. I left. I have alot of bills to pay.. and its almost Christmas and I have no job... but he will rot in hell, not me. AIU just told me they are not accepting my entire associates degree. Long story short some of my classes from my previous school are not up to their standard so I may have to retake some, CLEP out of some, possibly drop the whole program and just try again at a different school. I will let you know how things go through the holidays. TTYL. Hang in there Lynn.
