After a bad couple of months I got some great news today


I got back to work today after being out sick. There was a meeting with the accommodation committee. It isn't final yet that I will not be able to keep my current job. It will be a few weeks before I know. But it looks like a lower paying position in the police dept. is a real possibility. I can't bump a person out of a job. There must be an opening and I have to be qualified. The hiring freeze had been a roadblock. Considering everything that has been bad news of late, this is great news. I'd keep my seniority and benefits.

More good news. Mom's case worker at the therapy center believes mom is doing well enough to go to assisted living, not a nursing home.

I am humbled by the hearts.

as far as the lower pay - well, it's happened to a lot of us because of the bush years
