Jobs, Money & PCS

Today has been a tough day for us, especially physically. I'm down to twice a week for physical therapy for my neck, but now they think there's also problems with my shoulder as well. But anyways, I've been applying for jobs non-stop, and of course somehow I got denied a job at Best Buy, seriously?? BEST BUY?! Ugh, maybe I was to good for them, but that shows you how desperate I am for a job. Actually, the fact I have almost stalked my old boss for my job back shows how desperate I am. I haven't heard from any of the employers I've applied for, which is discouraging. Also, my Avon launch isn't going as good as I was hoping... I got two orders so far, and they are both from people I know.. :/

Today I found out that I was getting a extremely nice gift for my birthday, to help pay down debt. So, being the OCD self I am, I sat down called all the credit card companies asked for the balances, typed out an excel worksheet then made a chart using word, actually two charts. 1 with percentage, and 1 with actual dollar amounts. And tried to figure out the best way to pay stuff down, but for some reason I kept going to my husbands stuff AGAIN. I've already put my money into paying off his debt, so this time I think its fair for me to use the money to pay MY debt off. Am I being selfish? I've already paid off 4 of his cards and none of mine.

Anyways, he goes in this week or something like that for re-enlistment, and hopefully well get a decent bonus to help with finances as well. Also, were looking for two roommates to rent out the two rooms we have open for 5 months, just to help us save up some money for the PCS, and getting a new SUV. We are just trying to make the money we can while we can, and to save what we can for the future PCS and SUV purchase.

The main things I want in the next 6 months or sooner.
1. Get at least 1 roommate for 500/ month
2. Pay off 3 credit cards
3. Get a job!!
4. Have the disability claim completed!
5. Help my best friend decorate her room for her new addition!
6. Get at least 10 Avon Orders
7. Get off at least 6 medications
8. Figure out my back problems
9. Go to the orthopedist for my mri results and have them be good!
10. Yard Sale to get rid of the stuff we don't want, use or need!

Please help spread the world about my Avon launch, you can order directly online and it will be shipped directly to your house, and it's all done online so you don't have to give out your credit card number or anything of that sort.
Here's the link.. Please SHOP away with great prices, amazing products, and even better sales ..

It's Been How Long?!

It's been a while since Iv blogged, and even logged on. I have been in a depressive funk, with my emotions up and down. A lot has happened since I've blogged last and I'll update you all on it now.
In the last two weeks, I went on two interviews:

Interview 1: A company that was "nooked" between two ENORMOUS stores, and its honestly just a door, with a small sign on it. But when you walked in, it was enormous. They worked for ADT, and wanted me to do sales. I am not a sales person (well get on to that topic later that I did take a sales position elsewhere).  But they said they will call me when the customer service manager returns. (I still haven't been called, its been a week 1/2).

Should I still expect a call and stay positive or start to think I wasn't right for their position?

Interview 2: Call center, out past my church in industrial/ distribution center. It's a third party call center, and it is an hourly job with bonus. :) I like Bonuses! Anyways the interview went great, and I actually got to follow up with her the next day at a Job Fair. (I was there for other reasons) but she said they are calling my references and are thinking about putting me into their next training session.

New Side Job/ Project:
AVON!
Yes, I am now an Independent Sales Representative for Avon. I have a link on my blog homepage that says "BUY NOW" if your interested. I hope you are because the finances in my household are calling for cosmetic, skincare, accessory, or hair junkies to buy from me. If you head to the link you can order directly from my site and it will ship for free to your location (APO free too) over $30.
Here's the link just click HERE  and you'll be automatically directed to my site to order awesome priced stuff.

Now the CQ: My husband has CQ tonight meaning he wont be home till tomorrow, blah. But of course EVERYTIME your husband is gone something goes wrong.
Well so far in the year we've been married and the 20 something times he's had CQ, there have been severe storms here. Once there was a Tornado Warning/ Watch and I was flipping (because this California Girl knows NOTHING about any type of mother nature-ie thing except earthquakes), now we have flood watch. Not to mention my dog has peed in the house (who is already potty trained!) 4 times.

I broke down about 4 times today, and finally realized all I had to do was blog to feel better. So thank you for the blog readers I have, and for commenting and keeping my spirits high, and my mind filled with amazing advice and comments.
You (blog-o-sphere) are all the reason I am not in breaking down, anxiety attack mode.

Oh and did I mention my laptop is broken.. Sometimes it just feels like when its bad it can't get worse but does. When everything wrapped up and bottled inside just finally breaks you down continuously.

I've been so out of it, I missed 3 appointments in the last week.
But somehow In the last month 1/2 I have had:
2 Epidurals in my neck
1 set of 6 trigger shots
7 sessions of physical therapy
17 medication refills for the 17 medications I am currently taking.

What type of 24 year old is on 17 medications for pain, depression, anti-inflammatory and insomnia?
