Nostalgic

Seeing moonvoice 's Turkey Vulture has made me all nostalgic for when I lived in Wisconsin. We used to see them all the time at the Lake. I miss that lake, and hiking up the bluffs and seeing the world from up on high. More than anything I miss taking our floaties and swimming out to the middle of the lake and just floating there, staring at the bluffs that surrounded the entire lake. It was a magical place, and I was actually happy there.

Things are really changing fast here, the Boss handed in his resignation last week, this morning the Big Boss called me into his office and explained they're going to extend my contract until the end of the year (yay) and that the training unit is likely going to move under HR Department, which is another yay, because it's really where it should have been all along. I like the HR Manager, but she's a bit of a clue, I think I could pretty much bludge my way through this job until June with her as a Boss.

It's making me think about my options. I want to talk to a friend who used to work on reception with me, and see about maybe boarding with her once Michael goes to Lakes. I am considering asking to drop back to 3 or 4 days a week for work, so I can spend half my time a week in Lakes with Michael. I could either continue to stay with Grandma in the main house or as Pam if she wants a new boarder and doggy hugger. I think I'd probably be happier with Pam, but I also feel bad imposing sometimes. Maybe I could rotate between Pam and Grandma's from week to week.

Who knows what will happen. I really feel as if I should work for as long as I can, especially if they're going to continue paying me at my current rate (which is excellent). Now that I'm into the second trimester I'm hoping that my energy might start coming back a little (not so far, if anything I'm starting to get actual morning sickness...) so that working full time might not be an issue. I really think dropping back to 3-4 days a week would be better though, and it would allow me to ease into the new lifestyle I'm trying to create while getting all my bills paid and hopefully saving a little as well.

Anyways..... I had more to say but it's gone now.
