Im not a big fan of this time of the year. I dont like going to malls to begin with but this time of the year is particularly worse. I dont have a job at the moment so money is tight but I still have to get people gifts. No ones has said, Hey, we know youre been out of work for awhile, its ok, just save your money this year.

If that werent enough, Ive lost several friends over the past two weeks for something that wasnt my fault. Now Im stuck on the side watching them have fun together.

I have a few weeks of unemployment left. I have no idea what Im going to do when it runs out.

And Ive been reduced to talking to myself in this journal. Yeah, its a wonderful life.
