Making Decisions!

      I'm having to look for a place in surrounding counties. Rent is really high once you leave my small town! $600 a month is ridiculous. Unless I can find a job, I don't know what I'm going to do. If I loose my teaching job, I'll have to return my car!  I'll have to start making some real life decisions.

   When ever I think about moving, I feel as if I'm abandoning my mom. I wish it didn't come down to this, but I have to work in order to survive.  Now I know how the plant workers feel. There is no hope staying here, and there's nothing I can do about it.
   
    What will I do if I can't find another teaching job?
   



     Decisions are the hardest part about being an adult.
   
     I think we have more wildlife than people in my community, and the decision to leave is weighing heavily on everyone's mind. I have seen so many U-Hals the past few days. Our neighbors up the road just moved out. In times like this I was my grandfather was alive. He would turn over in his grave if he knew what was going on. The elderly families will be okay, it's just the younger work force that will struggle.

    I'm twenty four and the only time I haven't lived here was my college years. I know that I can make it, but that doesn't mean I want to take this on.

      I was hoping to one day have family of my own to live and be raised in my community. I'm afraid if I move this will not happen.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
