Last week M’s company was informed there would be some staffing changes soon, yep layoffs again. Then a few days later he was told that he could be one of the people getting laid off but no one would really know anything until Monday. This meant that most of last week we got to sit and wonder what Monday would bring. Well finally we know. He made the cut. This is a relief but it also makes both of us aware that he may not be safe next go round. I feel changes are coming soon.
There are actually several things going on today. First off, my dad has an interview in OK. So he and mom flew out this morning, headed to see what their futures might be. Considering what my dad has told me it sounds like this will be very promising, so I will cross my fingers for them. (And for those wondering I am now speaking to my mom again. We worked a few things out and hopefully the prospect of a job will bring changes too.)
I got a call from my mom earlier while they were in Dallas for their lay over to OK City, to say my grandmother had had a fall. Mom said she didn’t know much but my grandmother was being taken to the hospital. As it is, she is currently in a retirement community so there are always people around. Even though we are not very close with our extended family I messaged my cousin on FB just to check and make sure things were okay. He said as far as he knew she was okay but was complaining about pain in her knee and shoulder. I guess I will find out more when my dad talks to his brother.
Anyway it’s been a pretty busy Monday and it’s barely noon. Plus the handyman FINALLY emailed this morning to say he would be at the house today working, YAY!!!!! This is great news. M and I were at the house most of the weekend, painting baseboards and packing the remainder of “crap”. :) There are still about 27 lamps (or 5) left that we will need to get and a few more boxes of junk. At one point during the move M said I didn’t have THAT much stuff. I think he’s changed his mind 😉
Hello Monday thanks for the kick in the ass!
