A Time for Endings = New Beginnings

Gail, the psychic, told me that this was a time for endings. Last Thursday was my last day with Home Tour, and I left the office leaving my keys and my laptop behind. It was hard. Way harder than I thought it would be. Although the job made me crazy most days, I really did like so much of it. And, if the truth was told, a lot of the extra work and headache that I experienced was my own fault.

Most people have been shocked to hear the news. Most have had really nice things to say about me, which is great. One friend, who is in the rental business started to cry and told me that this job will rip my heart out. Nice.

So, tomorrow I start my new career at Seaside Vacations. It's 5 miles from my house, which will be a 20 minute drive once the tourists show up. I guess I can't complain too much about that. I used to drive an hour to work! Awful!

Chip's mom is in the hospital again. This time they transferred her the hospital in Elizabeth City, which is closer to the other 2 options that we've exercised in the past. She was diagnosed with a UTI, again, and some crazy form of pneumonia that they can't seem to handle. She's in ICU and while Chip, Pop and Kim (Chip's sister) are at the hospital, I have been staying home with Mabel.

Mabel is doing much better. She is up and around, somewhat, and less needy. Last night I made a yummy chicken enchilada casserole and home made corn bread, and caught her tossing it into the toilet. UGH. So, today, I brought her upstairs for lunch and dinner so I could keep a closer eye on her. She has been watching a foreign film for the past 2 hours - and I don't think she knows that it's not in English. Hmmm...

In the past few days we had the hot tub motor burn out and the heater motor blow out.

Humph, endings indeed.
