    Money? A job. My cat to be alive again.

    Actual likely items, probably one game from steam that sibling buys me.

    I’m traveling internationally to visit my fiancé and spend our first Christmas together. I just want the trip to go smoothly and take full advantage of the 120 PTO hours I’m burning without getting an urgent work call.

    Food. I’m making just enough to get my bills paid, but I’ve been eating ramen and Mac and cheese for around a year. I just want to be able to have food in the fridge/cupboard. It’s getting so fucking tiring to never have basic necessities to work so fucking hard to keep my bank account in the negative. I’m so fucking depressed.

    Now that I’m done venting, I would absolutely love to be able to get some gifts for my brothers and sisters but it just doesn’t look like it’ll be feasible this year.

    On Tuesday November 19th, I had a stroke. My goal is to make it to next Christmas.

      I was in your situation this time last year. I got laid off in July, hired in September, and let go again in October. 💜

          It’s easier when they are one ocean away, unfortunately I doubt it will work out for this reason

    Hate to add to the grumble but I’m not feeling it this year. I don’t really want more material things (boo!).

        For me it’s all the stress at work around the holidays (work harder before/after) then being invited to a ton of social things (I work from home and I’m happy for the most part being alone all the time). I actually love my job too so it’s more annoying than anything that everyone is in la-la land while I’m just wanting to get stuff done.

        I hate showing up like a clown and not connecting with anyone; it’s all so fucking corny. I guess that’s married life though.
