Money and Finance
The new year is in full swing and I've been taking the time to relax, read, and research. After being gone for work for 33 days until just before the end of 2015 and finally getting some time off I decided to take a break from the blog for a couple weeks. I was able to make it home a couple days after Christmas and while I missed the day I didn't miss the family. Some of my family was out of town over Christmas so we did a big Christmas and birthday celebration on New Years Day. It was great getting to see everyone which unfortunately happens much less often than I'd like.
Since my work schedule is very unpredictable I tend to slack on the writing whenever I'm home if I don't already have posts lined up because I stay busy with taking care of the "honey do" list and trying to see as many family and friends as possible. And of course relax a bit. Despite the large decline in the price of oil, work hasn't slowed down too much for me which is both a good and bad thing. Although there won't be too many complaints from me because I'm thankful to have survived the layoffs thus far and to still have a job.
