Well, I am trying to clean up the mess I'm in regarding the accident I had last year, and its not fun.

Normally, I would be in total drama-queen mode, calling myself names, and generally acting like a four-year-old, (and believe me, its really tempting to give in to that urge), but just this once, i decided to try and skip that step, since all the "woe is me"s in the world wont actually solve my problem.

I tried to get a loan from the bank, got turned down, and then talked to the insurance company and arranged it so I pay 125.00 a month for 19 months, and then one payment of just over a hundred dollars, and then I will be done.

It gonna make the next two years really tight financially, but its doable, and that's the point.

Its tough being a grown-up, isnt it?

Dear Dottie,

How are your chances to get a better job? In the states Walmart wages are so bad that a lot of their employees get food stamps (actually a new credit card like device) from the feds and are on the 'healthcare for the poorest'. They can't afford anything better!

Do you have Costco stores in your area? I've heard that the wages and working conditions are much better. I guess their jobs and yours shouldn't be all that different.

Further into the future, do you have plans for additional training or education? I recall that you're good at reading and certainly know how to communicate effectively. You might have more fun or satisfaction doing a job that lets you use your brain more.

Hugs and Bright Blessings,
Renee
