I'm a slacker....

I can't believe it's has been so long since I posted. A lot of "stuff" happened in past months, probably too numerous to try to relate. Maybe I can touch on the hi-lites so I can validate my lack of update.

A couple months ago I was notified at my 2-day a week job that my position (and several others') would be dissolved and they were just giving us a "head's up" so we could begin looking around. No time frame when the employment would end - so about 6 weeks later we finally got word it would be the middle of May. I had mixed emotions about this. Part of me was jumping for joy and another part was all tied up in knots. When I really stopped to think about what I might do, all I could do was feel overwhelmed and the prospects of being home with so much that needed my attention. I had a pretty good excuse if I was at work, but now there was no excuse. Needless to say, I began reading and reading and reading. That's it.... just ignore the rest of the world and enjoy fantasyland. The real highlight of my days came when someone called for a food order or I worked on the visiting teaching report. Big whooptee doo. I went to help Rachel pack for her move for a few days but really didn't feel that I was able to accomplish all I wanted to in such a short time. Worked in the garden here and there, and have spent waaaaay too much time on Facebook.

Today I took a step in a different direction and put in my application with an employment agency to go back to work, at least part-time, temporary. Maybe something will turn up that will motivate me to get up in the morning!
