A rainy gray day here. I'm still feeling a kind of numb shock at the moment. Dh seems to be doing OK and we've both been on the phone with pretty much anybody and everybody from getting his name out there and trying to get a resume together for him. He had one done a number of years ago...no clue where it is but DD's BF apparently is really good at putting one together so he's offered his services in that department. I went into a bit of a panic mode paying bills this morning. I'm trying to look into things to trim the fat in the budget although there's not a lot of fat to trim. DH isn't quite aware of the bills as I am since I pay the bills but we sat and crunched numbers. We're both in our last months of car payments and we're hoping that the dealership comes through with vacation paycheck money which would clean out those bills. We're not sure about that. We're also not sure whether they will pay for April's health insurance which is probably my biggest fear of being without any medical insurance. Obviously trying to do something on our own is out of the question. We're trying to stay on the positive side of things but I have to say I'm really nervous. It's strange because DH is very calm which he usually is during situations like this and it just takes me awhile longer to get to that point.
Anyway the morning is getting away from but just can't seem to get my mind into doing anything around here. I'm still in my pjs and guess I should get myself to do things around.
Patty-I wish there was something I could do or say to help the stress that you must be feeling at the moment. Please know that your sister and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers every day.
I am having the same problem with my new glasses too Nancy. I have progressive lenses and the frames are as small as you can go, so I end up wearing my old ones when on the computer. Of course they told me after I ordered the new glasses that I really didn't need new lenses since my Rx hardly changed. Grrrrrr...well at least I have "modern" glasses and I will wear them socially when my eyes are too tired to wear my contacts and reading glasses when needed like now. Oh, I did have to go back and have the frames adjusted to help me see better. They just didn't sit on my nose right to get the right sight.
I stock up too and I don't live way out in the country. With being so short, the top shelves are useless to me in the closet I keep them
Good afternoon Patty and everyone! I didn't realize how much stress I was under with going out east for jury duty for 3 days until it was over. Sitting in that jury box for 3 days and not knowing for sure whether I was picked or not was really working on me. I am now relieved that I won't be serving (and only 1 attorney did not want me on the case) and I can concentrate on DD and the very soon to arrive grandchild. It is so exciting and I can be there. Probably losing my job was a good thing too for now.
How good that you have so many to help you out at this time with even DD's BF doing a new resume. Such positive action being taken all around. I can imagine the shock...I was numb myself when DH was layed off from Grumman when the 4 kids were younger and the panic of no health insurance. Thank goodness things worked out and well, things got better than ever. I am praying that will happen for you and DH.

Hi, everyone!
Saturday morning definitely got away from me.
