Record 7% Drop

I'm musing. It is interesting to read that the Dow Jones had a history making record drop of 777.68 points today. My 401k has dropped over $800 since May. Life is changing all around us. Today I was excited gas was down to $3.42 at Costco, but it took more than 30 dollars for half of a tank's worth. I just started a new job and I've been really excited to think I'll finally be able to really pay off debt and stop living paycheck to paycheck. But for how long?

Speaking of jobs, I'm very frustrated by Domino's. Last night they made me stay late and shorted me $20. When I came home my husband was already asleep and this morning he had to work again at 5 am. Tonight I was looking forward to being with him but we found out he has to close. I asked him to wake me up when he gets home, probably between 12:30 and 1 am, but brief half-asleep hellos just aren't the same. I miss him already, but look forward to the weekend we can spend together.
