Gettin' By

Oh boy! Well, I guess this is good. Sort of. At least we finally have some idea just where we stand. Limbo sucks, maybe reality will be better.

Richie was called back to work on Monday, a week early. Worked on Monday, sent home after 3 hours onTuesday, worked yesterday & so far today. He just called me. Was told his last day is tomorrow. He's on indefinate layoff. Maybe they'll call him back in June. Right. No doubt they're going under. Laying off another 31 poor souls tomorrow. Cutting down to 10 people per shift. There's no way they can profitably run with those numbers. Common sense.

Well, he'll be 62 in April & able to collect at least a little social security. Funny, those words don't sound too damn secure today.

So, how best to handle this? Right now, I'm shooting for eBay. I've written about 60 descriptions in the last few days. Now he'll have time to take photos for me so I can get them listed. Positive outlook, right?

Jen's friend (and all of ours) Anima, sorta my 5th daughter type gal, she's been in our family for about 20 years or so. I feed her meat and lots of my pasta sauce............she's Indian & comes from a vegetarian family......a succesful career woman and a sweetheart. She gave me a couple of bags of clothes to sell. Nice stuff, good brands and most with tags. I should generate a little income from that.

Plus, I've been taking stuff down from my kitchen shelves. All of the old aqua & pink kitchen collectibles that I've spent years acquiring. It'll make dusting easier, right? (Like I dust!) I sold my cowboy collection and lived through it a few years ago when R lost his job..........so, here we go again.

Remember how your parents told you "You can't live on love?" Well. I'll let you know how that turns out! Thanks for listening.
