Goodbye 2009!
Date: Jan 1, 2010 Category: General
What a crappy year. It started getting better for a while (2008 was a total disaster) but now it’s back to the same old. My husband’s severe ankle sprain will cause him to be off work for at least two months. He’s looking at aggressive physical therapy, three times a week, with the hopes that gets him walking in three weeks. His work may or may not give him paid short term disability. While at least his job is safe, he may not receive anything financially. Even if that is the case, it would be better than losing all of our health insurance benefits. So many ifs and not knowing, for at least another week until the HR department hashes it all out.
I should be more optimistic, but right now I just wish we had a better start on 2010. Everything was going so well. We had so much to look forward. I’m slightly disappointed but more worried about my husband’s long-term health. His ankle may never be the same, considering the severe damage done to ligaments and nerves.
2010 New Year Resolutions
I have the usual resolutions for 2010 – health and happiness of my family. They are my main priority and taking care of them is what matters most.
Having a little more optimism. Less complaining and more taking care of business. Financially things may be rough the first few months but we will get through it. So to help, I plan on working as much as possible every single day.
I have made a goal of writing 300 new articles every single month. I’ll concentrate on Associated Content, Bukisa and Demand Studios for now. Other projects I can consider as they come along. I’m in a good place where I can say no anytime I want, but I’ll never let a good opportunity pass me by.
Three hundred new articles every single month may sound outrageous but it is completely doable. Just a lot of focus and time management.
So 2010, feel free to bring it. I’m ready for whatever you have to throw our way.

Did he injure himself at work? If he did, then it would be considered workers’ comp. If he injured himself at someone else’s and they can be found at fault (think like Edgar Snyder here…) then you could pursue their homeowner’s insurance.
I feel for ya! I had a rough end to the last year too and am hoping 2010 is a great year.
