What a tumble-down day … Mr. was laid off without a warning. Staff reductions, they said. Of all the proofreaders at that company, he was far and away the most accomplished and most experienced, so it was a heckuva shock that he was the one cut loose. My supervisor let me leave early to come home and offer support. He's already putting out feelers, so I hope he isn't without work long. Just before the holiday season, too. Considering the way that office treated its people, though, this may be a blessing in disguise. Just the same, we're feeling mighty low just now.


Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. We're feeling our way out of the shock. We actually went out to dinner as a celebration of new beginnings.

Sending hugs and prayers your way.
 
Hey friends! I think going to call it a night. I work daylight tomorrow - not my cup of tea at all! I have CPR training recret, then work the floor the rest of the day.

After I get of work, we're taking the kids to Hershey to see Disney on Ice: Frozen. They're so excited!

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your evening and have a great day tomorrow! I try to check in when I can! Ttyt tomorrow!

Have fun at Disney on Ice!!!
 
It's actually serious. Seth 's a fantastic singer and released an album before. Does take a while to get used to. You do keep waiting for the comedy lol.

I have heard him sing before, just wasn't sure if he was going to go one of his "alter egos" during the CD or not.

Thanks, I'll have to give it a listen.

Good Morning (more like good lunch-time) everyone

How are you?

I'm feeling much better today!

Yesterday evening I played nurse to my father. Unfortunately he caught the same bug I have. :-(

We are also prepare the diamond wedding anniversary of my grand parents, which will be this sunday. It'll great to see all the relatives again, specially the youngest one. She's just a month old.


I hope your father feels better quickly.
 
Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be another warm but rainy day here in central Indy with a high around 70. I slept pretty good but woke up with a killer headache. So I don't plan on doing a lot today. Just working on the never ending battle of trying to keep the apartment clean and I already have laundry going. If my head feels better later and the rain dies off, I may run some errands. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

I hope your headache disappeared soon enough.
 
Happy Tuesday everyone. My son has forgotten how old I am. He got tickets for the two of us plus 2 of his friends to go see Paul McCartney tomorrow night. He is driving home from college tomorrow morning and I am leaving work at noon to make the 3-1/2 hr drive to Atlanta. Concert starts at 8 and McCartney usually plays for 3 hours. Then we drive home and I try to go to work Thursday while Ethan drives almost 3 hrs back to college to make a 1:00 class. I'm grew up a huge Beatles fan and am old enough to remember their Ed Sullivan appearances. I was 6 and sit inches away from our small B/W TV. Saw McCartney in Dallas in the early 90's and can't wait to see him again.

Ethan comes back home Friday evening for his 4 day fall break. Nice to have something to look forward too.

Have a blessed day.

Enjoy the concert!!!
 
Stormy day here today. We have a tornado and a flash flood watch. Forecast calls for 2-4 inches of rain today. Wind will take a lot of the leaves off the trees. This hasn't been a good leave watching year. The good news is cooler weather is coming. Checked out the 5 day forecast for our area and no highs in the 70s. Hopefully no more 70s until spring.

I hope you had a safe day today.

New Christmas DVD releases!

Seeing a colorized version of "A Christmas Carol" is being released, at some point I will order the Alistair Sim version of "A Christmas Carol."
I will probably order the black & white version, but colorization looks so much better now than it use to.

I am so sorry to hear that, you are both in my thoughts.

Being laid off is a horrible feeling. Companies are cold. We will pray he finds something better.
