Thankful

Finally got some sleep last night. WooHoo. Woke up this morning and saw sunshine!! It's gone now, and we're looking at some serious thunderstorms the rest of the day, but I saw it. I even pulled a chair out by the pool so I could feel it on my face.

I got cable back. Now I can actually SEE what they're talking about. I feel much better about that. However, I can no longer call out on my phone. I can recieve calls, just can't make any.

I'm going to stick close to the house, clean up the crap in the yard before the storms hit later and try and catch up on some paperwork. I just found out I'll probably have to go out of town for a couple of days in the next week or so and need to dot all my I's and cross all my T's before hand.

It's been hell down here for the past 6 weeks. Let's just call a spade a spade. Both personally and professionally, life has been a nightmare. I'm luckier than many. I still have a home, I have the basic comforts and some wonderful friends that while not near by, have been such a support. It may seem like a small thing, but a phone call can be a life line at times. And I want to thank all those that have left comments. You put a smile on my face, make me laugh and let me know that I'm not really alone out here.

Professionally it's bad, it's really bad and it's only going to get worse. But there again I'm fairly lucky. I've swallowed my pride and made some phone calls. While there is nothing to fix the situation, I'm going to be doing some contract work that will allow me to continue my current position and earn some extra money - so I can pay my bills. I'm so grateful for that. Words just can't express.

So for a few minutes, I'm going to sip my coffee, smoke a cigarette and count my blessings. Then it's back at it. But in the midst of all that's going on, I'm just so thankful.
