Things are finally moving.

Top of the list.
The government has finally approved my companies sale/merger.
No close date yet. But I am guessing next Wednesday or Thursday.
That means a few things will change. It means structure may change..some abruptly some gradual. It means I may begin to get projects started and that means.. I will be busy. Working and busy.
That is a good thing.
Also if I am gonna use any of last years vacation time it will need to be soon.

Another thing that seems to be moving... my struggle with finances.. I think it has been moving in a positive direction.
I got a supplement check for the hail damage.. unexpected and needed. Kept be from being late on 3 bills. Ones that came due 2 -3 days before my first payday of the new year.
Covered and then today another check for a mortgage mistake. Small but so helpful. Also tomorrow is the deadline for pay increase requests. I have submitted for my guys..but it also means mine is getting processed! Any little bit helps. I noticed my pay was short $60 not sure if its medical or retirement increase. But I submitted a revision to retirement and that should add back $200 before taxes.
I figure the medical goes up $10 from one company to the new, so it may balance out.

So much for the blah blah blah...

Last night, I texted a request for forgiveness from a friend. It was of some length. They immediately wanted to know where I was drinking and if I needed a ride. Then didnt believe me that 7 minutes later I was home. A good friend. I needed to ask for their forgiveness. So I did.

Also I texted my friend that I needed to talk with. But I have been having a hard time figuring where I should be. I know these days are especially difficult. This time of year. So I step back into my solitude. I feel that each time I do that I drift a little farther away.
Painful if I think about it. So I try not to. I don't always succeed.
I am back to very little options. I have nothing new. Nothing old. I have nothing to come home to except a noisy cat and a sleeping kid.
So work is my mistress.
It is Good for them. Something for me to be doing.

These past 10 or 20 days have been with limited spending cash so I have been home at night. Not doing much. Work on stuff. Clean. Nap during tv. Sleep..if it is possible.

The refinance is still an option. So is finding a parttime night job.
So is moving and selling. With the new company having places coast to coast..and being the second largest of its kind. I should be able to transfer.
Not much keeping me here just work.

I can be who I am anywhere. I can grow if I am allowed.
Or not.. I can just survive. But I need new places to explore.

I guess I will see what the next changes are. And adapt.
