Stuff in My Head ...

This post isn't going to be about anything in particular.   Just a little bit of this and that rolling around in my noggin.
Work has been a zoo.   So many people are getting laid off with the economy the way it is.   Even Nurses...which has really surprised me.   Home Health has really took a hit.   Especially around here with all the cuts the State has been doing with Tenn Care.   People who need around the clock care have been cut so it's caused a ripple effect.
 I've had really strange conversation here lately also....Conversations this week have consisted of my supervisor walking up to me.. (I'm 4'11"...he's 6'2".....and says)

"You see that guy walking out the door"

Me - "Yeah"

Him - "If he walks back in the building and I'm not here...You get him out as quickly and as quietly as you can. Your not to be alone with him....You understand?"

Me - " I understand"

and he walked off.  weird shit..

The local guard unit left again for Iraq last week.   I was behind the convoy as they traveled thru several counties to say goodbye.   I cried all the way.   It was an amazing site to see people pulling over and stopping and getting out of their car waving flags.    I bawled and squalled the whole way.   It was uplifting as well as terribly sad.   My thoughts and prayers are with them and their families.
I'm still in reading mode.  Can't seem to get enough lately.   I'm almost done with the whole Laurell K. Hamilton series of Anita Blake. 
Hubby is still experimental cooking.  He's getting depressed I think not being able to find work.  He made a comment last night about feeling useless.  I knelt down in front of him and told him I didn't ever want to hear that again...because he isn't.   He's one of the strongest people I know and it breaks my heart to hear him say that.   I hugged him tight for a long while...wish I could make it better.
My filing is gotten to the point of being ridiculous, can't find crap so I've got to do something about it.   Wish me luck as I try to put some since to all this mess this afternoon. 
Hugs and Snugs

Worry is the darkroom where negatives are developed.
WORRY IS THE MOST UNPRODUCTIVE THING THERE IS.
Hey, I hope everything gets better for you.

Hi Pam, I'm praying for better days ahead for your sweet hubby. I know it must be so difficult.
I'm taking a break from filing right now to catch up on mybloggerstown. My office floor looks like a patchwork quilt, but a very very ugly one,

Sorry to read about all your worries and woes. Let's hope 2009 (under a new president) will be better.

I am afraid we will be seeing a lot more out of work in the coming year!

Elfie style hugs for you and your hubby. I think you both could use one.

I saw your blog title and just had to stop in to find out just what was in your head. I'm sorry that your hubby is having such a tough time, but I think many people are going through these feelings with the economy down the way it is. Work is so important and the feeling of self-worth goes right along with it. Hey... I totally understand the filing problem. That is what is holding up the bookkeeping right now. I have stacks of stuff and can't find anything. And... my accountant sister-inlaw is coming by today. She is going to want to know where I am at on the books. I'm not answering her, but just pointing her in the direction of the office.

Well... now I know what is in your head and you know what is in mine.

awe - poor hubby. How sweet of you to tell him that he was dead wrong! I am sure he needed to hear that.
I hope your week gets less crazy and it's only a few more days til Friday!
