Still Around and Kicking

Just thought I would let you all know I am still alive, lol. I am in a holding pattern now until the truck sells. Ex BF moved out Thursday and it was the hardest day of my life. Luckily my mom and my best friend came into town to spend the weekend just keeping me busy! I'm lucky I have such great friends and family or this would have been a lot harder.
Kita (my dog) is depressed and misses XBf and the other dogs. She is still sitting at the window waiting for them to come home. Its killing me. My sister has been thinking of getting a dog for a while, so we may just try and speed that up so that Kita has someone to play with.
Debt reduction is at a standstill until one of two things happens: 1) I sell the SUV or 2) I get a roommate. Either one will allow me to start moving forward again with the debt reduction (selling the SUV would be the best because then I would be debt free!!!)
So all in all I'm still here, still struggling and hoping that everything works out. Only time will tell. I can't believe how hard this is . . .




You will get there no matter what happens. Just remember you are building equity in the SUV so as not to feel too bad and the weathter is crappy so it must be nice to have around right now.
Good luck. This will turn around!
Thanks!
Part of me would be okay with keeping the SUV for the winter! I would just put the new tires on it. The guy who was going to get us tires at cost was on vacation, but is back now (he is a friend of xbf's but also works with my sister and said he would help anyway he can). I'm still not sure what to do. Hopefully the guy who called on Friday will call back and he will love it and take it off my hands!

Hey Bex -
Is there anything you have wanted to do the last year but could not?
I'm glad you're hanging in there and that you have supportive people around.
I would second Maries suggestion to find something you wanted to do in the last year but were not able to, especially if the reason for not doing it was the boyfriend!!! I think that helped me the most when I broke up with guy I was engaged to!
Can also back
Thank you all for the kind words and suggestions. You have no idea how much it means to me, especially during such a rough time.
We went and looked at a dog yesterday but decided against him. He was sweet, but FAR too hyper. My sis has decided that she wants to wait because I don't think she was fully prepared for all the responsibility involved. This is fine by me. Kita is slowly coming around. I have been taking her to the dog park so she can play with other dogs and her mood is slowly improving!
As for things I want to do, I am looking at taking a trip with my girlfriends. I have to wait and see what happens with the truck/ roommate to make sure I can afford it. I would just take the money from my tax return (if I don't need it for debt) so that would work fine!
I'm still in survival mode. It still hurts, especially when I am home alone with nothing to do, but luckily, that hasn't happened very often. Oh well, it gets better each day that passes!
