I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted to ANY of my blogs. How easy it is to stay away when life is going fairly well - or, at least you are staying busy. How fast you come flying back when the walls come crumbling down around you.

I think it is hilarious that the last post I made was the my husband got a job, especially since he was laid off on Friday. At least, as he said, he wasn't in the first round of layoffs. He was in the second. He figures there will be a third. His boss, well his ex-boss, is looking for a job. We are in, what I lovingly like to call the "batten-down-the-hatches" mode. The storm flags are flying and the all hell is about to break loose.

Job hunting is crappy to do during the holidays. There is just no other way to put it!

My father has cancer. My best friend has acute pancreatitis. I just found out that a medication combination that was working to help with the pain level I was having for one problem was causing my migraines to reappear.

Have to rethink that one now.

And, I want to totally re-vamp my blog. But, I have no idea in the world how to go about doing that. So, one more thing to learn. But, I seem to do some of my best research when I am really stressed.

Tomorrow is the unemployment office and applying for food stamps. I've been through this nightmare before. The last time we did this it lasted two years and we ended up sleeping on the floor of my mother's den for nine months. I'm really hoping it doesn't come to that this time. But, you just never can tell.

I, however, am hoping for the best.
