Lots going on.

Unfortunately, I lost my job after three years. I was actually doing well in it but many complications beyond my control made it very difficult for the company financially. To be honest, it was a relief because with the D and also stress at work, it was too much. It was also a relief that I don't have to split my paycheck in half with my WW. As my sister said, maybe it is a message from a higher power for me to focus on the really important things. Luckily, financially I do have savings enough to tie me over for some time if I needed it.

I texted my WW about my loss of work but no response on that, she responded to something else. Several hours later, she asked about her last support checks? I had to answer, "Actually, I think you might have to pay me now, now that my income is $0 and you make more than me!" Sorry, I know it was bad but I can't help throwing it back at her. I had my L inform her L immediately but her L took her time responding, so unfortunately my L had to file yet another RFO to stop the support payments. Yet more money wasted on legal stuff for nothing.

It'll be interesting on the support situation. Since I paid off the mortgage several years ago, I don't have any payments while my WW has a substantial amount to pay every month for her rent. It's really just my utilities and taxes that I have to worry about, and food and other living expenses.

Since then I've been taking a lot of time shuffling my son around to his baseball practices, school, and other activities. My unemployment is a blessing in disguise because now I don't have to rush from work to try to make S11's practices. For his Little League it is tournament time, this weekend will be the beginning of Tournament of Champions and his team is the top seed, after ending the season 18-2. So I'll be able to help coach him during this tourney.

After TOC it'll be All Stars, it will be very interesting to see how far his team can go this year. Out here baseball is very competitive because we play year round, and some of the best players will be playing. I really enjoy my time with him doing these activities.

Since my job loss I've intensified my workouts. I went to hot yoga for the first time. Can't say it was for me. The heat was much harder than the yoga! Also have been doing spinning, regular yoga, and aqua aerobics. My WW was upset I joined the same club, but I really don't give a .... at this point.
