Almost exactly four years a go I was laid off from my job. I've been laid off from my job again. This time the circumstances are different and my life is different and even the feelings are different, but I've been laid off from my job.
The good news is is there is a severance. I have some time to figure out what I am going to do.
On the other hand, I'm at a loss. I live in a beautiful place. But, it is more than I can really handle financially. Madeleine is about to start school. We live far from civilization - far enough that if I find a job it will more than likely be further away than I'd like. I am not at all interested in moving at the moment. I'd like to be moved, but I don't want to go through the process. I'm putting pressure on myself that we need to make a decision this month. I want Madeleine to be settled in school for the year. I don't want to move her one month, two months, three months in.
Option: I can sometimes become a broken record. I skip and can't get the skip out until I act on the thing I'm skipping. Right now that skip is move in an apartment complex in Mesa where Mackenzy (our old roommate's daughter) and Jen live (Mackenzy's Mom). This way Madeleine will have some sense of familiarity, we'll have support and we will be closer to civilization where I have a better shot of finding a new job. The elementary school is pretty close and has a good reputation.
Option issues: Can you say apartment? Small space? We've lived in houses since we moved to Arizona. Of course, I lived in apartments for 20 some odd years. We'll survive. Oh Gosh...I just don't know.....a
Option: Get a roommate at the house. Not sure.
Option: Move some place else? Move to a different place, a different city, a different state, country?
I REALLY AM AT A LOSS AND FEEL GREAT FRUSTRATION AT THE MOMENT.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last October I lost a pretty good job at a time that I felt I was FINALLY getting out from behind the 8 ball. I am so sorry that you lost your job :( I hope it's okay if I say that God wouldn't close a door without opening another. I've found that as long as I wake up every morning and give 100% to whatever situation I am facing, it always works out in the end. I am very happy I lost that job because it caused me to look closely at my career choices. Now I am driving a schoolbus and going back to college to become a medical lab tech. woohoo! It's easier said than done, but look closely and maybe there is a new opportunity that you might not have seen otherwise... Best of Luck!
