I'm still feeling like things are getting worse.. or maybe we're just now feeling the full impact. The school districts are all reeling now from cuts. Some schools are cutting AP classes altogether, they've doubled, tripled (or implemented for the first time) "pay to play" activities (not just sports, all clubs, sports, etc.), initiating paying for parking, cutting hours, massive teacher layoffs, schools closing.. it goes on and on. My ex has been getting more interviews, but still no job offer (other than temporarily working as a census worker, which he is doing now). There are still lots of foreclosed houses hanging around, waiting to be sold. It was really obvious in the winter, after a snow, which houses were abandoned. Then it was hard to tell because we had no snow but the grass wasn't growing yet. Now the weeks are a foot tall at those houses so it's obvious again. There are too many of them. WAY too many of them. I wish I knew where "bottom" was going to be.
