Good, Bad and Worse

I'm feeling a little manic today. Lots of conflicting emotions.

I just had the neatest thing happen.

I was on Facebook and a friend of mine from college contacted me LIVE. We "chatted" for several minutes about our husbands and children and life back in college when we kept crazy hours putting together the school newspaper and yearbook. We haven't talked back and forth like that since more than 10 years ago.

The coolest thing? Melody is in Malaysia and 12 hours ahead of me in the time zones. It was just a precious thing to be back in touch with her.

Not so precious is this ridiculous cold, sinus infection thing I've got going. I don't have time for this junk!

I stayed home from BSF leaders meeting today. And I really hate that.

But worse than that is that while I was talking to Melody, Bruce sent me a message via Skype. His company is laying off roughly 40 people today. And offering early retirement to anyone 65 or older.

His job is secure, for now. But in our current economy, it's just not a good time to be working in the air conditioning business.

I'm going to take a nap now. Sudafed's wearing off.

Facebook can become almost addicting. It's a neat thing tho, isn't it??

Sorry to hear about your husband's co-workers.
