Ah-hem... lets try that again shall we?
Milsupporting is going well - I have met some really lovely troopers this time around and am very much enjoying sending out cards and occasional useful package. Girl Scout cookies (and a parcel with a toy) went off to a Airforce 1stLt recently. I suspect (since it was a "once off" parcel request) that I should have sent really useful things but meh... I'm sure everyone else in his group got those. After all - when you really need something to hug when the hit sits the fan - isn't a fuzzy Platypus toy the first thing YOU think of?
In "not quite Milsupport but gosh I'm having fun" - tshirt sent out to Old NFO; Coin & pin sent off to Coffeypot; oh and virtual hugs sent out to the rest of you (just so you don't feel left out)
In "At Home" news.
- Mum seems to be responding better to the medication she is currently on. Less pain, more Getup&go. She is currently talking about maybe "One last trip out Bush" with Dad in the coming months. I thank God for every day she is with us and hope she gets her wish to go camping once more [they have a small caravan so there are comfy beds and other civilised amenities to make things easier for her]
- With my work... I will find out this coming Tuesday if I am still employed or not (yes... they plan to announce 14000 forced redundancies on 9/11 - what a charming way to try to divert attention from your Allies day of Remembrance:(. This New State Government has no empathy or shame). I will let you all know later this week what the situation is... I think, even if I am made unemployed, that I can still manage my current Troop Adoption commitments - which will keep me sane and feeling useful at least.
We're all waiting to see what happens on Tuesday too. Very nerve wracking, hopefully we don't get a "don't come Monday" notice.
ReplyDeleteSaying prayers for good news on Tuesday, and also continuing to keep your mother and all of you in my prayers.
