Update

My dearest DS sissters.  It has been a very long time since I have written a journal.  I  thought it was about time I did.  I have so much bottled up inside me.  Those of you who have known me for awhile know the hardships I have had with losing my job and my insurance.  Then I took a job that I did not like and had to travel 22 miles each way.  Plus in many ways it was a very  stressful job without going into details.  Well on  Feb 12th  I got fired.  Even though I did not like the job and had been looking for another job all the while, it still hurts your feelings to get fired.  It really rocked my world because I did not have anything lined up.  Very scary cause I just bought a car.  It has been very difficult finding another job.  Be it age or whatever.  I cannot collect unemployment because it was a contract job and I was an independent contractor.    I have applied for many jobs to no avail.  Finally I thought about something I did awhile back and kind of liked it.  It is Apartment Locating.  It is something I can do at home and in my own time basically.  I got out of it last time because I wasn’t making enough money at it, but this time I don’t have to make full time money because I do get my SS, and I just need to supplement.  At least I will be utilizing my Real Estate license.  On a happier note I am enjoying my new grandchild enormously.  She is such a dear.  So sweet.  Her Christening is this coming Sunday March 1st.  Can’t wait.  Christian of course continues to be a joy.  He is a typical 2 ½  year old. And is a spitfire.  More energy than you could imagine.  He loves his baby sister.  He pats her head and says “I nice”.   So precious.   To all of you that are still going through chemo my prayers are with you and I wish you all very long remissions.  In some ways I feel guilty complaining about my mundane stuff when so many of you are going through so much more.  Love and hugs to all of you.  Anita
