Schooling

Well, it looks like it actually might happen this time. The husband actually met with the admissions person (after many hours of on-line work and setting things up) on Monday. Looks like he'll start on October 4. I applied for admission on Tuesday, but am still waiting to get my student id number. If all goes well, I too should be starting back to school on August 31. While the husband is going to do live classes mine will need to be entirely on-line. The tricky part will be not letting anyone find out that we are in fact in college. Husband made the mistake of mentioning it to someone who went with the "are you crazy... materialistic.... not spiritual.... blah, blah, blah" route. And that was from a friend. Imagine my parents.... good lord I hope we can pull this off. The job market is so tight these days that we need to do something. I have been applying for work like crazy. One person actually called me, and in the course of the conversation she mentioned that she had over 400 resumes for her one position. The fact that I haven't worked full-time recently is not playing out well. Hopefully, the going back to college will help. Couldn't hurt...

Goodness

It's amazing how quickly things change. One minute everything is fine, the next it's upside down. Not only in my life but others as well. My friend just called and told me she left her husband. Wow!! I am speechless. They were (well they still are) married for 17 years. She is staying in a hotel until the apartment she rented becomes available in two weeks. When she first told me I wanted to call someone to help her because I don't live that close to her. But I chose wisely and decided to stay out of it and let her deal with it herself. I just wanted someone to be there for her. She hadn't told anyone but me what had happened and spent a lot of time crying. I feel helpless as I am so far away. That's my makeup. I worry... way too much. Which would probably explain why my stress level is up so high and my ulcer is bleeding. Oh well...
