Job offer

Yesterday was our walk through at work. About seven of the higher-ups were there. They came marching in like a gestapo. It was a little nerve racking to those who cared. I was doing my GNC reset when they came walking around the corner. Sherry was the head honcho. She say hi and shakes my hand and then says," I hear you are moving back to Ca." I say yes, and she says"What part?" Central coast... "Really?" she says "I just spent the last (?) years working in San Luis. Do you have a job lined up out there?" "No" "Hold on a minute...." She pulls out her cell phone and 'makes a call' . She tells me that it is all taken care of, that Mark will be in charge of setting it up, and I will have a job lined up for me when I get out there. Jeff tells her how great of an employee I am and how they don't want to loose me. Pumps her up for me. So, I guess I'll see how much money they want to offer me and I may possibly accept it and stay in the area for a little while.
I got news the other day on the happenings of the X. He's spent the last 3 monthe in jail, and now is on probation for the next year and a half. So he will pretty much be in the area(Or.), and I'm not sure if I want to be there as well. I guess it will depend on a few factors. Hopefully I will know before we leave here. I need to know if I'm packing to live in Ca., or if all my stuff is going to Or. with my parents. Doesn't making life-altering decisions bite? How do I decide what is right? What if I make the wrong choice? What if it takes years to fix the bad choice that I made? How is everything ever going to be alright? Is it ever, or am I just dreaming, thinking that things could ever possibly be right? Circles, running circles around in my brain, again and again.........

Friends from Afar

Jamie and Natasha blessed us with their arrival yesterday. They've been traveling and making the rounds, and ours was one of them. It was so good to see a familiar face(or two) and a familiar critter. Piglet was with them, she's such a wonderful dog, very well behaved and great with the kids. We sat outside and talked and then we made little pizzas for dinner. We watched some old Muppet Shows and went to bed, they slept down in the basement. They came by work before they left this morning to say good-bye. I feel lucky to have friends like that. They are both so sweet. Hopefully we will be able to meet up again when we get back to Ca.It really was a nice evening, and I know they were grateful to have a place to sleep and friends to spend time with too. It's hard when you are traveling and everything is different and new. It can be exciting but extreamly exhausting as well. I'm happy they came.
