Waiting for the next axe to fall….

Finally, yesterday evening all the fans and extractors were removed from the house. Fortunately for us, and mostly for my honey there seems to be no damage to his beautiful beam ceiling. The insurance adjustor comes in the am and so he will determine the extent of all this water….loss is relative..I know I need to stop whinning but I just can’t get a grip on life….I feel like there is a curse on Stanley and me….Could all my friends please send us some good healing light….we can’t handle much more stress….now I know that I am very fortunate to have my walls all around me and I know that I am even more fortunate to be healthy and well….but, these external forces are undermining my psyche…NOW….for the new news….

Sunday after we got home from the grocery store the phone rang and my boss, the Administrator of the home health agency, proceeded to tell me in a halting voice that she was going to have to lay me off!!!!!!! apparently since they lost 47% of there referral business…another story…. the corporate office is telling her that..she needed to lay off some people in our office….I was aware there were going to be some changes, but I honestly didn’t think it was me…..This home health is a tricky business…lots of politics… Welllllll, I cried a lot on Sunday and Monday so loud I cried because no one could hear me because of all the fans……Oh Lordy, but I am resilent and so this morning I prepared a nice cover letter, updated my resume, and prepared to fax to an interesting job….my fax machine just whir, whir, whir, nothing happened….so I just have to laugh and laugh and laugh…..Maybe I am going crazy?

Sorry, friends it seems like all I do is write about my troubles…bunny update…run bunny run….Rosie and the bunny have had a good run around the yard together but that bunny is fast, thank God! Red Tide is still around but not as bad…and Stanley is carving a beautiful jumping dolphin for me….Hugs to all my ole buddies…

I know this feeling so well, Ollie, believe me. I hope we do not have to run from Rita but if we do, then we will!! Hugs and much love to you and a sisterhood, my dear friend, as we share dark days but we both know the sun will shine again. We still have love and hope! Love,

Oh Honey, I am so sorry.I can understand you waiting for the next axe. Truly though, what else can happen? (hope I’m not tempting fate saying that)There will be a better job around the corner,hang in there. At the risk of sounding unsympathetic maybe if you try and look at things philosophically & ask “is someone trying to tell me something here?” maybe you’ll be able to change the direction. hugs

So sorry for all the turmoil going on in your life. I always say when things are going right “Thank you Lord for the rest right now” for I know that it will not be like that for long. I think it is part of life growing us up by teaching us how to survive amist the hard times. Many things we have no control over and just indure with a calm asurrance that God will help me through as long as I look t

to look to Him and be thankful for all I do have. I have to draw my peace and joy from Him also, music always helps in those times. My prayers are for you to find that inter strength to push through, find a job and get the repairs done in the house. Also, that you will find peace amoung the mess. Bless you and know you are loved!

What a downer! Hope you find alternative employment soon or even better hope you discover a personal business that you can develop yourself.

Oh Ollie, sorry to hear about your job! Hugs, Catherine

RYN: I don’t really have an answer…it all depends on all the things have have happened to you in recent months and ‘learning curves’ come from them all…..guess thats what I was trying to say. Mind you, one message might be that its time for a total change of pace/lifestyle/location etc…maybe in NZ??? LOL hugs and smiles

Sago

Oh, Ollie! Yes, I will send you healing light as much as I have to give; do say to yourself it will pass, because it always does in time. But, I agree with you, the time is now for a good healthy change. Keep writing. We care.

I bet sometimes it feels like if you don’t have bad luck you’d have no luck at all.
