Day Eighty | April

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

One of the major changes I’ve made in 2009 so far has been to be somewhat positive. And it came at the right moment, because since 2009 started I’ve lost my job (and have just enough freelance to pay the bills); mostly lost contact with nearly all of my friends for various reasons; watched my home value plummet into nearly upside-down territory, despite my being one of the responsible home buyers; and I had my main credit card account closed due to my job loss.

I could go on describing the shit that’s blown up in my face in the past three months, but I’m trying to be positive here. The goals I started the year with have themselves basically vanished into the realm of wishful thinking at this point, so wishful thinking is all I have left.

This is what I came home to this week.

And as an unintentional April Fool’s Day joke, Bank of America sent me a “pre-qualified” platinum credit card offer in the mail today… just after they had cancelled my platinum card.
