the struggle

In the last few weeks I've taken some hard hits to my ego and some harder hits to my wallet. I've been stressed out, knocked down and beat up emotionally. I deal with things using humor, but this month the humor is to close to the truth so it's not funny anymore. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, I'm trying to get my concealed carry classes going again, but I'm worried that wont be enough to make up the difference of the hours I just had cut at work. Its amazing how you don't understand the bad economy until it affects you in such a strong way.
