Before I get into the doom and gloom, (Oh, I bet that made you want to read on didn't it?)I just wanted to say congrats to Helen, who won this season's Biggest Loser. Not only is she a woman, but she's also 48. That's what I'm talking about, people! The at home winner was 64! Great season, my favorite so far!
Now for the DOOM: My freelancing writing seems to be slowing down to the pace of a salted slug. (How's that for a visual?) Which is why I am blogging from home instead of S-bux, because my coffee shop money just got reallocated, to, oh, I don't know, ELECTRICITY! FOOD! WATER! As we tighten our belts, I discover that mine is especially tight. Must be all that toast. Hmmm, maybe I should run more.
Now for the GLOOM : Community Partner's For Affordable Housing lost a grant they have been receiving for the last four or five years. It's the grant that pays my salary among many other important things. So the job I adore, the one I have put so much effort into is gone, poof!! No more. What is heartbreaking is how hard it is on the kids whenever anyone leaves. On the upside, I am leaving a wonderful YA library, thanks to you all, and I am still volunteering my time for book club. So all systems are still go on that front. The downside, I have to get a full time job. Hopefully, I will be able to find something that I love as much as I did this one.

Oh, I'm so sorry!
No one is safe in this economy, especially us freelancers and anyone who is working off grant money. I am so sorry about your job. It really sucks!
Love the salted snail visual though - well, I didn't love it, but you know what I mean - it was succinct!
Teri - that sucks so much about your job - not just because you loved it, but because they obviously loved you as well. Boo. Hope you get something as equally wonderful soon!
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware
of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole
thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
