I don’t how it has been nearly 2 weeks since my last post. Boy does time go by so fast. Here’s my mixed bag of updates. 
In a quest to get ourselves in better shape (uh, lose the fat!) and get healthier, my husband and I both made a strong effort to eating better and exercising more.
I especially wanted to do it because I need to stay well. If I get sick, we are up the creek without a paddle for sure. Sucks not having savings and only one income coming in. That alone puts stress on me.
Anyway, to the story: I guess I overdid it and injured my foot somehow. Yeah, kind of defeated the purpose, huh? I don’t know how I did it since we don’t do any strenuous exercising, mainly just walking and bike riding. But I did it, and one day last week I woke up, went to put my foot on the ground, and I felt a pain like…WOW!
It’s been about a week and the pain is slowly subsiding. I am pretty sure it is nothing serious; actually, I am confident it is nothing serious. I did a lot of research…yeah I am self diagnosing again—not good I know. From what I am feeling and from what I have read, it seems I may be suffering from plantar fasciitis.
I couldn’t go to the doctor, partially because I don’t have one now. Also, I don’t have the money for the high co-payments to see a doctor/specialist. Since I got the cheapest insurance plan available, I pay out the wazoo for things like this. On top of it all, I don’t like going to the doctor. I am sure there are some great docs out there. I just haven’t found one. Maybe I need to.
Next update: Hubby’s work
We are waiting to hear back from a job my husband applied for that was recommended to him by a family friend. This guy seems to think my husband has a chance of getting hired. I have my fingers crossed. It is no glamorous, high-paying job by all means. However, it is stable income with benefits. You can’t find that around anymore.
As everyone knows, you can’t put your eggs in one basket though. So we are continuing to look for more job opportunities. There are a lot of jobs here in South Florida, but there are also a lot of people out of work. So for every job that opens up, there are thousands of people applying for it.
I helped my husband update his resume and we are hitting it hard and sending it out to every job that looks decent. Out of the many inquiries we have emailed or faxed, he has gotten only one response. However, that response got him an interview next week. So out of these two jobs we are waiting on, something has gotta give.
We are OK for now. All bills are paid for May and it looks like we will have rent covered on the first of the month for June. I will just need to keep working hard to make sure everything else gets paid. Hopefully one of these jobs will come through for my husband so we can breathe a sigh of relief…
Oh, it would be such a relief.
