Seasonal Changes
Peaceful Beach Edisto Island South Carolina
I havent said much about what is going on with my life other than the events of the past few weeks... The Walk and going out to meet Abigail. Its not been easy but I am hopeing that the economy is picking up a bit and that maybe I will get settles into a job soon
The position that I had at the apartment complex ended abruptly when a new management company come into power and fired every last one of the staff from the previous management company. I worked through an agency so I thought that I might survive the cut... Doesnt seem to be the case as the new manager hasnt reached out to the agency and I am not allowed to do so. The most frustrating part of this is that I am now less than one week away from being eligible to reopen my unemployment claim. I need to work 21 hours more thats all. So I am prayed for some work this week I really need it, I just got one days work, which turned into enough hours to go to unemployment so we shall see if I get anymore work next week.
I took the 35 hour Property and Casualty insurance class this past week. The material was as dry a bone as I have ever had to chew but the instructor was a gem and I managed to get through the week and retain a large amount of the materiel and actually do better than pass a practice exam. My paperwork has been rejected, so I turned it around and returned it after I got the corrections done. I need to buy the disc so I can take the practice tests and stay sharp
Sunday was Mother's Day, a day I usually ditch as churches are so into this day. Not that I dont think Mothers are heros, they are for the most part. I just feel like I am not a part of the group on that day, sort of a second class member. Not in this church. I think with the large number of seinors, people who have lost their kids and wives...its a hard hard day. So while congrats are given that is about the extent of it... I had a invite to lunch with the pastor and his family, which was a welcome diversion for a tough day. They were exhausted from a whirlwind drive to Pine Bluff to investigate High Schools, measure every inch of the Parsonage they are moving into, and get a tour of this city that is the home town of one of my friends at church who went with them. What a treat for her to get to see her parents and be with friends she will miss as much as I once they move. they got back at 3 am saturday, then worked a yard sale to try to get rid of some of the excess stuff they have. Sunday being a long morning, we just sat and basked in good food and each other's company. It really helped me get through a hard day
Come the next week I was able to secure a few days work at a Walmart Vendor Support Firm. I and three others spent three grueling days trying to call 1500 stores to confirm delivery and set up of a promotional lot of baby formula. It is so difficult to get someone to answer and have the proper information that out of the hundreds of numbers dialed my daily average of compleated stores was 40, pretty low. I found that some states were better at getting the information and others couldnt care less that I was calling from Home Office
My house is a changed place, I went to the Walk a few weeks ago the trees surrounding my house were blooming like nothing I have ever seen before, but once I came home four days later the leaves had all opened up and now I feel like I am living in a tree house surronded by green leaves. My hope is growing along with the leaves. I have got to hang onto it, and pray for God's creative work in my life to come through
