So it's been awhile since I last checked in. Some changes for the better but life is still up in the air. I secured a 6-week consulting project, which is exciting but not clear if it will be extended. Will find out in the next two weeks. If we get it extended then there is an opportunity to possibly do similar projects for other clients. The problem is that none of this is a given and we're still in deep debt. We have stopped paying our mortgage and credit cards and have to deal with daily calls from creditors (not answering the phone). We are trying to save enough over the next few months to try to negotiate a lump sum debt settlement with the credit cards companies. We are also going to try to do a mortgage loan modification.

Lots of "ifs". We have looked into filing bankruptcy and it's still a possibility. We met with bankruptcy attorney and they are encouraging us to file. I first want to see if we can put ourselves in a position to negotiate a debt settlement.

I am trying to keep a level-head and my main focus has to be to do a fantastic job on this consulting project. I have a lot of people I need to please for this to go well and so far the feedback has been positive but we are at a critical juncture and we need to get very positive feedback the next couple of weeks. I need to make sure to be open to all feedback.

I am working out 5-6 days a week, which is helping. Feeling a bit tired though - lots on my mind.

Hoping/praying that things will eventually settle down.
