It's been 2 weeks since I started my new job. Got my first paycheck today (most of which is already gone, go figure). We finally got our car so I don't have to necessarily walk to and from work now. Of course, go figure, one of the stipulations on getting it was that Herbgurl had to go visit her family. I wish that she could have waited till I had a day off to do it, but she's always been a spur of the moment kind of girl, so I guess it was anticipated (sort of). I still have Mark and Jess to fall back on for a ride to work and (hopefully) a co-worker to get me back home.
Now, all we have to do is get the bills under control. Not too hard and will be easier now that we have a car to get her around to fill out job applications. She's a cook, so online applications are kind of hard to do. Restaurants don't usually do that, or at least none around here anyway that we've seen. I hope that she can get something going job-wise soon. The faster she starts getting paid, the sooner we can get out form under this debt and get to the "good life". I'm not really sure what that is 100%, but it sounds good, so that's what were shooting for. Hell, I'd be happy just to be able to afford a new pair of boots and some socks that don't fall down every 15 minutes. Well, that and a bag of weed, but that's a horse of a different color...
