Some hope?

Well, I looked online again and there still aren't any jobs in my little country town, but there are a lot of openings in the city about 35-40 minutes away. Mom was trying to make me get a job here, but I think she's finally realized that there are none. There are 16 openings at the Micheal's in town, so I'm going to give it a shot when we make our next trip to the city! I really hope I can get a job there. I hope I can get a job anywhere, actually.

Jon called me yesterday, he was out sick from school. And he was nice enough to give me all the lovely details of his day of sickness. Gross. Ever since he got out of the hospital 2 months ago he's been getting sick a lot, where before he never got sick.

I just really hope things work out...everything is going downhill. Right now, I'm getting worried. I was talking to Jon, and I said what I've been thinking for a while now. "We're not going to be able to live together by the summer, are we?" He sighed and said he honestly doesn't know. Everything is going wrong. There are so many hurdles in front of us. Neither of us can find jobs, there are no affordable apartments nearby, we were supposed to rent with his brother but then a cousin showed up out of nowhere, said he had nowhere to go, and just went and moved into the room Jon and I were going to have. I really don't want to have to move into his parent's house and trouble them. As long as we pay rent and at least one of us has a job, it's fine with them, but still...it's not going well at all. Every backup plan we had is going down the drain. I'm really getting worried.

We'll get through it somehow. It's just a rough patch, and we've been through much worse together. I'm trying to stay optimistic.
