I'm O.K..... I Just Got A Job!!

First, Thanks for all of the comments and e-mails asking if I was o.k..... I was touched that people noticed I haven't been around <g>!!

Second, Gram is doing very well at home. Thank you for all of your good thoughts and wishes for her! She's not happy with the fact that she now has to take 6 pills though. She keeps insisting that she had been doing just fine with the 1 pill she was used to taking <g>. My Mom is lucky enough to work in a management position for a local company. Her Boss knows our family and Gram... He basically told Mom he would see her when she felt comfortable leaving Gram again. Sometimes it's nice living in a smaller town where you've lived your whole life and everyone know everyone!! Mom says she has a good amount in her savings account and both her brother and sister have told her not to worry about anything. No one wants Gram to go to a Care Facility and we are all happy to contribute to Mom not having to work so she can be there to do whatever Gram needs!!

Third, yes, I know I've been MIA from my Journal.... But, I have been reading and commenting on other people's Journals. I've also kept current with the message board. Sooooo.... I've been around, just not as visibly as normal. Couple of reasons...
    1. No inspiration. Don't know why, but just haven't had much to say. (Actually, that's not entirely true... I sorta know why, see #3 <g>)
    2. I Got A JOB!! O.K.... It's not in my field, but it is 3 minutes from my door to the job. It is assembly work, so I can practically do it in my sleep. The people are really nice. It doesn't pay what I'm used to, but as G. puts it, I'm not doing this for money--I'm doing it to get out of the house. But, since it is assembly work I've had to get used to being on my feet for 8 hours straight and it is VERY PHYSICAL work. I started on Wed the 5th, and the first weekend I was just beat.  It's great though in that I can run home on my 30 minute lunch break and walk Morgan, so I don't feel guilty about her being alone for so many hours.
   3. Lack of energy due to #2. But, I expect this will get better as I figure out a different routine and become accustomed to the work.
   4. Last weekend was the last weekend that my friends from the show were going to be in town, so we spent a good amount of time with them.

All of the above have added up to not a lot of extra time. And, since I have to read all my Journals I have on alerts, and earning my badges on Pogo are a given each week.... well, something had to give, and what I chose was my Journal :(   I will try to do better, even if it is just a quick paragraph saying  "Hey, I'm Alive!!"

Sidenote: I've done pretty well... I managed to accomplish my New Year's Resolution the first week of the year ;) --See last entry and my determination to find SOME kind of job this year <BG>
