Changes

It's been far too long since I've visited you. Please forgive me my neglect. All I can say in my defense is that life has gotten in the way...again. As I sit here trying to figure out what to say and how to say it, I realize that one of the most important things in my life just came and curled up on my arm as I'm sitting here typing, putting his head on my shoulder and looking up at me with his beautiful blue eyes as if to say, "Don't worry, Mom. Everything will be just fine." Oh, that life were just that simple and easy. I wish. After a series of events over the last year or so that included a massive reduction in pay and another RIF at HP (this one I got caught in), I find myself going down a slightly different path than the one I originally charted. Such are the plans of mere mortals. But, plans are made to be changed and when the ones I made started crumbling in front of me I realized that it wasn't necessarily bad, just different than what I had chosen and could still lead to where I wanted to go. So, it's not with a heavy heart but with a heavy moving truck that I'll be moving out of my house into an townhouse for awhile to regroup. The bank and I are negotiating settlement (with an attorney, of course) and I'm leaving behind some bad memories and some other things that are just best left behind. The biggest challenge at this point is what to do with all the yarn and fiber! hahahaha Anyway, for those who would like it, please feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to give you the new address and phone number. The cell phone won't change. Email addresses will, but I sent an email out...let me know if you didn't get it.
