status update

So my antibiotics are done, I'm still clearering the fluid from my sinuses & ears, getting settled into my new place, clipping coupons (new fave: www.mygrocerydeals.com), and looking/hoping for work.

(pardon my mess - still trying to find a place for everything)

Just got back from a whirlwind trip Home, which was such a nice break from life down here. The Folks are finishing a remodel of the upstairs of the house, and it looks completely different from the former 26 years of my life there!! They are just now putting the finishing touches on it and beginning to move things back into place. The fall colours were gorgeous. I think I probably saw the tail-end of them.






Ryan's working for PWC and hunting in his spare time, and I couldn't be happier for him. He's passed his first two CPA exams, and is well on his way to finishing the last two!

I'm heading out to vote tomorrow morning. Gonna do my part to protect the marital institution on the CA ballot, and make my voice heard for McCain. Hope y'alls will do the same, if you haven't already!!

2nd round

Packing has been a slow draining process the past week, mainly because I've been bed-ridden with this bug for majority of that time. Went back to the doctor last night because I started feeling worse again. Sinus infection didn't get zapped with the z-pak...so now I'm on a 2nd round of antibiotics (without insurance)...Biaxin.



Thank goodness for modern medicine, but hopefully this bug I have isn't going to be resistant to Biaxin as well. grrrrr.

I have to be out of my place by midnight tomorrow night.

Pray for energy, packing speed, & return to health. I can't afford this to turn into a major episode.

uggggg, this economy!!! gotta laugh some how...

A few of you know already, but I guess I may as well tell it to the rest of the world...

I experienced the unemployment line, first hand this week.

The company I workED for in California is struggling to survive in this economy, and began reduction in force restructuring lay offs this week. My position was terminated, while I was at home, horribly ill in bed. I found out via a voice message on my cell phone Tuesday morning. Fantastic, huh? Even more fun, I had to go to the MinuteClinic that evening for antibiotics (ragining sinus infection)...and found out my insurance had already been cut. No COBRA paperwork, no advance notice, no grace period, nothing. The other favorite part of mine is I'm between leases... just signed a new one, with a gal who's expecting me to move in this weekend... and I have to be out of my present apartment by next Wednesday.

And here I was supposed to be in Texas for work this week and at the end of the month again.

For all you who've been kicked to the curb and then had salt poured in your open wounds...I feel your pain.

I'm making decisions minute by minute right now, not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow. It's looking like my most economical decision at this point is turn my RAV North.

I may be home before next weekend.




It's amazing how quickly your entire plans can be changed by the course of events. ...and just when I think I've got things in control...

God reminds me He's got the whole world in His hands.

Be praying for me, if you think of it.

Get Smart

My new roomie told me about the local dollar cinema - I had no idea we had one! Apparently it shows movies that are out of the main theaters, but not yet rentable. (There's even a foreign films theater nearby!!)

So this Tuesday night I took myself out on a date (with myself), and laughed the whole way through Get Smart. Oh geez, Steve Carell is hilarious! What a fun way to spend a weeknight.
