Default Life. Rebooted.

Many of my BOTL/SOTL's know that the last few years have been a broken elevator ride to the basement.

Loss of family, parent, house, job etc....

The last 9 weeks I have spent back home taking care of my Mom as she recovers from knee surgery. During this time I have been trying to find work in Illinois (where I live and my children live) to no avail.

My Mom, unfortunately has a myriad of issues, some discovered over the last few weeks, and some becoming more apparent as I spend more time with her, that require her to have someone watch over her.

The state of Illinois has been providing my way of life through unemployment, but that comes to an end in the next week.

After many hours of thought, I have decided to relocate back to Indiana and stay with my Mom. No job and no money have influenced this as well.

I had to tell my daughters this weekend. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do.

So I go, to start over again, to reboot my life. Find a job and back to school.

Many bad decisions have been made, and hopefully, I am not as stubborn as I think I am and will learn from those.

I post this here because this place, in the three years ( 1 at CS) I have been here has become a place to laugh and forget some of things going on. A blissful escape at times. I have made new friends, learned new things and shared many a cigar. I mainly post this here because it feels good to get it out, to share it, accept responsibility for things.


Thanks for listening.

Good luck brother. This economy has been pretty rough on a lot of people. Just had a buddy finally pull out of some rough times so keep the faith that it will all fall in place in due time. It does seem like the economy is slowly but surely getting better. Just hoping this spill in the Gulf doesn't put us back into a tailspin.
I am sure your mother will appreciate you coming to help her and for that I am sure karma will take care of you and before you know it you will be back on your feet and will eventually look back on this experience and appreciate where your at even more. Wishing you the best of luck with your reboot.

Best of luck, Sean. A drastic change in life is never easy - especially moving further away from your children. Hang in there. And know that the inmates are here for you.

I have been liberated from my job twice in the past couple of years and I know the stress but moving from your kids I would imagine is the hardest thing to face. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that this reboot is what it takes to turn things back in your favor.
