This is me right now. Change is a blowin' through my life.
So I do apologize for not being as available as I usually am to friends and family.
This change in jobs is doing my head in a little bit. Officially, I am being paid my new salary and have a new supervisor, but I don't physically move my office until next Monday. I am grateful for the opportunity to have time for the transition because I have the chance to help train the new person, but it is kind of like removing a band-aid one long hair at a time. I think ya'll know how much I love being at KRS and how much I love my working group. And it is more difficult than I thought it would be to hand over the reins of something I have worked so hard at. I'm OK. Just a little sad.
HOWEVER. This new job is a good career move and it will be challenging. Which I have discovered that I need in employment. My work in the feed Program is done. I have the regulated parties where I want them. And I must tell you it was really gratifying to sort through some stuff yesterday and turf the program stuff into the recycle bin.
So. After I did a little bit of sorting, I took the afternoon off. Built a fire, had a nap and then made tea and dove right into the latest Diana Gabaldon novel. I was transported for a few hours. And it was good. And then I got to see my Peeps which is always good.
And then there is some other stuff I am "processing"... my mom is facing some surgery in November and I am going to go to NB to help her afterward for a bit. My dad is facing major life changes and so is my brother. And here I am on my little island in Kentville not able to do much. The old "sensitive scalp" is in full gear and I am surprised my mouth guard I wear at night to protect my grinding teeth has not snapped in two (I found it on the floor one morning...what does that tell you?).
No fears...I am OK. Really. As the Beatles said once, I get by with a little help from my friends. Just be a little patient with me.

The Joy is in the Journey and although at times, especially through transition, it is difficult to find that Joy, it really is there...whether in the lessons we learn or the Joy we discover on the other side of Change....and no worries mate! your Peeps are here when you need us.
Change is good...

Hope your mouth guard hangs in...I've almost bitten through mine :S
I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts. Life at our age is a challenge. It is friggin corny but the old saying of "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger" is really true I have come to find out. Good luck my friend. I hope you have good support out there.
Love
