Doing better. Still having pain and can't sleep on my tummy,
but I'm past the worst, I think. I posted my most recent happenings while I've been gone in my blog, if you're interested.
You got laid off?! That is sucky. Can you collect unemployment, though?
And maybe it's a sign that now's the time to do something else with your line of work...sometimes things work out that way, I've found.
And I know about the naughty kids. My littlest bro finally got a job after being laid off from his factory job for two years, so he needs someone to watch his kids on the days he has custody. Not the best idea after having surgery, but there's no one else. And since my teenagers are out of school for the summer, they can help with the more demanding physical aspects of childcare, and it'll earn me a little extra income under the table, so I'm making the best of it. They really are sweet girls, but the divorce is taking quite a toll on them, and they tend to act out. I just try to give them extra attention and spend time with them, but at this point, I get tired so easily. I forgot how demanding younger kids can be!
