Sundance Film Festival begins this Thursday and runs till Sunday the 25th. Yesterday was my one and only day off from the 6th till this is over. I worked 9.5 hours today and I will be working long hours for the next two days in an attempt to be prepared. Then I will work like a crazy working thing for the entire ten days of Sundance- including working at least two parties- with a planned crash at the end that I'm hoping will involve sleep. It stinks, but at least it means a couple of relatively good paychecks... We can really use the money right now.
Unemployment STILL hasn't come through for Branden. They said we're gonna see the money, but they didn't say if it was before or after we filed for bankruptcy. He's got some potential job stuff lined up, but it's not really paying enough to make a difference. Ok, it's not really paying anything and I go into panic mode at least once a day and I don't want him to think that I don't have faith in him but I just don't know what to do and nobody really wants to read about how stressed and freaked out I am so I'm gonna stop this really long sentence right here.
And talk about something hopeful. There's a chance that Branden may be doing some cab driving during Sundance. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but it could pay enough that we can pay rent, put some in savings and still pay off a couple bills that we haven't been able to pay. If it just pays rent that'll take away a lot of strain. And if there's just a little left over... That would be a miracle. THAT is what I'm hoping for: Enough plus just a little extra.
I think that is really what I want in life as well. I don't need to be super rich. I don't need to have tons of stuff or drive a nice car- I'd probably just hit another deer or large yellow dog if I got a nice car, anyway. I don't even need a big, beautiful house so long as I have a place to live and the people I love. All those things are nice but I'm only hoping to have enough plus that little extra to put away for the hard times.
