Well, after the initial shock, the bitching and the moaning, the “good God what will we dos!” I have decided this may be a good thing. The hubby loosing his job thing, that is. It was fantastic paying job, but it was a 50 minute drive from home every morning, 50 minutes back at the end of the day. He had to stand on a cement floor all day; he was forbidden to sit down, except at lunch. And he is WAY to smart for the job he was doing. So, at the end of the day, this may be a good thing. Luckily, his last day isn’t until May, so he has lots of time to look around and find something more suitable.
It’s all good!
I got my Bookmarks magazine in the mail yesterday!! And here I thought my subscription had run out! I’m so excited! Now I have that and Bookforum to read this weekend. Bookforum has a very interesting looking article about Paul Auster. And Bookmarks has articles about Wallace Stegner and Hermann Hesse! Between that, fixing up Estella’s Revenge for the coming up March publication and The Winter Rose, my weekend is looking buzzzzzy! I think I’ll make some soup and stay in all weekend.
Oh, and, not usually one to call attention to myself, but I am sort of surprised no one noticed I posted the first 2 very rough chapters of my NaNovel. If you recall, I wrote about 20,000 words for my NaNoWriMo attempt before life got the better of me and I ran out of time. If you look up above my lovely banner, you will see pages. In the very corner is my Novel. Just in case you’re bored and have nothing better to read.
I'm glad things are looking up re: the hubby's job. Losing a job can be a shock at first, but the people I know (who were in similar situations) that had it happen moved on to jobs they liked MUCH better and closer to home. I wish him luck!
Paul Auster article????? I'll be hunting that down ASAP.
And can't wait to read your chapters!
So glad that you both are going at this with the right attitude. It will all work out. Am very proud of you.
I didn't even notice that part of your banner! I'll be reading your chapters tonight!!
Heather – Keep up your positive attitude! I like to read your little "baby progress" chart, its really neat.
Everything does happen for a reason. Try to stay positive no matter what
Wishing lots of good luck your way!
Thank you!!!! I'm so excited to see my Dude displayed on Stuff On My Cat for everyone to see and admire. He's the best cat ever!
It sounds like you have a great attitude towards the change in your husband's job situation – good for you! At least he has some time to find something new. Good luck!
I finally got my copy of Bookmarks just this weekend, just when I was started to get worried that with the move it had gotten lost in the mail.
We've been through scads of job changes since we got married 11 1/2 years ago, and we've found that in every case, it's been for the best. I can't even imagine standing that many hours on concrete — it must be killing his back and knees. This is a good thing, and it won't be long before you'll be able to see it clearly and how it all fell into place for you.
Am I to guess by the book list to the right that you like vampires?
