New Years Eve and not feeling hopeful

Yesterday we discovered there's a leak under the house where our hot water cylinder is. It's just one thing after another. Hopefully it's something minor and we don't have to spend over $1000 to replace the hot water cylinder. We don't have the money. Being 2 days away from the New Year let's just say I'm really pissed and yet not surprised. All we seem to have is bad luck.

I'm not feeling like celebrating the New Year. I have no expectation that 2025 will be any better than 2024 has been.

I don't know what in my life I've done to deserve so much freaking bad luck but honestly it's getting old and I'm over it. 

I have been trying to be more positive but it's so hard.

As the Madden Brothers song goes... We are done done done done done done done done done! :(

I had planned to bake today but lost the motivation. We moved furniture around and did a bunch of cleaning on Saturday and I still have some stuff left to go through and things to give away. And it's just one small step of a lot of decluttering we need to do, but it's already looking better.

I didn't mention it on Facebook but I was hoping to have a job in the New Year but it didn't eventuate. The employer can't afford to hire someone full time or even part time. So I'm still job hunting. However I do have a new reference to add to my CV and work experience too.

There is a free course at Vision College that I'm thinking about enrolling in and if I do end up getting a job then I'd have to leave the course, but otherwise it would be a really good course that would help improve my chances of employment. It's the NZ Certificate in Business - Administration and Technology. 

I know life could be much worse and I am grateful for all the good things we have. As usual I will continue to do my best and *fingers crossed* I will find a job soon.

Prayer, good thoughts and verbal encouragement & support is always much appreciated.
