almost employed
The job situation is better. I am happy to say the one on hold called and there is a start date next week. There are some last minute checks for preemployment. They should be ok. Unemployment ran out last week. Wow, this call to work is great timing. There are a lot of things to think about with planning for winter. I am trying to figure out how to afford the heat. I will earn to much for assistance yet not make enough to cover the costs. I am going to meet one of my friends in a few minutes. It is not for anything fun. I am nervous in some ways because we need to have a serious talk about her teen. The teen told me she is having sex. It is a big deal in her house and her Mom (my friend) will have a bad time with this. This is still a bad subject with parents and kids. I feel caught between her kid trusting that I would be someone to speak with and the Mom who is such a sweet woman and trusts me too. I can not keep secrets of this kind and feel it is unhealthy for everyone involved. At least she is taking birth control and insists on safe sex by use of a condom, that she got from planned parenthood. She is 15 and her non-boyfriend will be 18 soon and has a girl friend otherwise. He has told her he only cares as a friend for her and she is crushed. I don't want her to be so alone with this. So, I am going to carefully reveal a few facts. I am hoping her Mom already knows in some way.
