friday

my job has been very stressful the last two days....yesterday my friend at work whom i have worked with for 6+ years gave her notice - she has found a new job. i am happy for her but i will miss her a lot.

when i got home there was a letter from the pastor of my church announcing he is not only resigning from his position as leader of our church, but moving to another town and leaving the ministry all together to become a mental health counselor. again, i wish him the best but will also miss him and his family.

then today at work they gave 5 people a layoff - the company has not been making as much money as forecasted so they are trying to save wherever they can. we are publicly owned by an english company and the stockholders want a return on their investment...5 salaries probably won't get them much.

and my 20 year old son and his girlfriend seem to be having a party downstairs - i think i have counted 7 friends that have come in...plus his little (16) brother
he and his girlfriend are both going back to college on sunday, and i hope the friends all leave then too.

as you can see i am too tired tonight to even reach for the shift key.

i am just thankful for my job, my family and my health - the shoulder is slowly improving, but not without a lot of pain and hard work to keep stretching it.
i guess i need a good night's sleep...kinda crabby...sorry

eta as i finish writing friend #8 has arrived...
