Transition Time

The big day has arrived. I did all my homework for the new job. Fingerprints. Money order for background check. TB test. Gathered paperwork. Filled out forms. This week and next I'll be working both places. A few here and a few there. Sorry to say, but you probably won't see me here much. But who knows? Sometimes I surprise myself. :0)

My friend has had a rough few days. Anxiety took over and she talked nonstop yesterday and I mean nonstop. There was no sleeping, just wide eyes and a mind that wouldn't rest. For most of the afternoon, and even on into the evening, she was planning her grandfather's funeral. As one of the nurses reminded me, he was the love of her life. Today she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. He waking moments were plagued with grogginess. Honestly, I am concerned.

In the morning I will head off for two days at my new place of employment. There is not the same amount of fear and trepidation with this one as there was with the last couple. Some of you will remember my "Flower Garden." This is a Flower Garden too, just not in my own home and I am looking forward to tending this one as much as I did my own.

(I won't be able to post photos of my new darlings, so you get to enjoy my grandchildren instead. Here are numbers 7 and 10.)

    1. Yes, it is. I even came home smiling in spite of the craziness.

  4. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. What you described sounds a bit like a manic episode.

    I am sure that you will enjoy your new job much better. Looking forward to the cute stories you will tell about them. I'm sure you will.

    1. Perhaps... It also reminded me of Mom talking all night long several days before she left us. That was't the only reason I was concerned though.

      Although the paperwork (and other adults) can be a bit overwhelming, the kids are cute, funny, and terribly two! ha ha!
