So, I thought I would do a post that is a little more than one line to update everyone as to the events over the past couple of days.

Emotionally, I'm hanging in there. I have good days and bad days. Then there are those days which I think are going well and then I hit a major slump. I just miss so many small things about the store. This is the second biggest loss I've ever had to experience. The first was my pepere years back.

On the job front... I have been in contact with two headhunters. One I contacted and the other my former boss contacted for me. It was kind of cool to get a randon phone call and hear, "I got your name from Jackie DeChamps and she told me that you would be absolutely perfect for a job I have." Then Jackie called me yesterday to check up on me and told me what this job would be paying... all I have to say is BOOYAH! So... I dont know if either of those prospects will lead to anything. It's pretty much just a waiting game right now.

Amaretto has been so incredibly fabulous. She is so sensitive to emotion and knows when to be affectionate and when to leave me alone. I don't know where I would be without her.

Finally, last night was great. I went and saw some old friends. It was nice to sit around and laugh at very old jokes. My night actually got better when I left though. I left the apartment and was walking to my car when I ran into this guy Roque that works at IKEA. He insisted on buying me a beer and I oblidged. We then had a really really good talk. He told me how I was the only HR person he liked, especially after I helped him out with a small situation a few weeks ago and how upset he was when he found out I left. It made me feel good.

Then I came home and passed out with my little pumpkin curled into my arm.

So that's it. Right now... I'm doing ok. We'll see what the rest of the day brings. Thank you all for your kind words and outpouring of support. It is appreciated more than I could ever put into words.
