Well I haven't been here for a while and it is because I have been on a roller coaster ride for the last four months (more give than take).  Here's what has been going on - I have been down in the dumps because my financial situation has been in the crapper big time.  I have discovered that I have a bad case of ulcers and the medication is expensive along with the life time medications that I must take (I hate taking medication).  So to try to rectify this situation I have been looking for a full time job with benefits.  When I had totally and finally given up on the job search my phone rings and it is my ex boss asking me if I could come and work for her full time.  It is a 40 an hour week job with benefits weekends off (which will be nice) and the starting wage is 25 cents more than what I am making now.  I am on a temp. basis at the moment but I will definitely jump at this opportunity.  Today is a good day.  I guess the saying is true that life does begin to get better ofter a year - which I celebrated the end of August.

Thanks for sticking by me and letting me ramble.  Must go to work now.

Later - Jeannie
