This could be IT...prayers, vibes, crossed fingers and paws needed

    Glenda, I just wanted to let you know that despite the madness here with Derby and my garden you were the first thing I thought of this morning while going through my mental notes of the day.

    I am going to leave this thread up on the comp and check in off an on, and I still have my fingers and toes crossed.

    I did NOT sleep worth a darned last night.  And then this morning the office called to let me know that they might  need to turn off the power, so have sent DH over to the storage to get us a real phone.....all we have in here now are cordless, and of course, we need power for those.  They said half hour, but maybe an hour........it was nice of her to call, and she did give us the option of when would be the best time for us to have no power......there really isn't a good time, but, if push comes to shove, we CAN turn the generator on.

    Waiting is very hard for me.  I've never been a very patient person, but I've learned NOT to pray for patience.....when I do that, I tend to get a really major trial so now I just ask for peace and serenity.  The lessons don't seem to ever stick as far as patience goes...and 6 months is a long, long time to be patient.

    I need DH to hurry up and get home with that phone so it can RING.  With good news.

    I'm sorry you're so stressed about this, Glenda... The way I look at it, there is a job out there that already belongs to your DH. It may be this one, it may be the next or it may be one a month from now. But it's already decided and already done. Now, there is only the time between now and then. So, no matter how much you stress over it, it's not going to make a bit of difference in the outcome. The only thing that will do is cause physical and emotional harm to yourself.

    That's just how I think of these things. Of course, people say I'm too calm. Cool

    Thinking of you, though, and hoping you can wait till the job comes to you. *hugs*

    Oohhmm.  That's me meditating, sending you calming energy.  Big Smile

    Although I agree with 4iC completely...and I am typically a very calm person...anticipation is extremely challenging for anyone.

    Keeping this thread open and looking forward to your news!  Oohhmm.

    Not a word yet.  DH left him a voice mail message.....and yes, being calm would be nice, and on the outside I am, but on the inside everything is twisted up and tied in absolute knots.

    Here's hoping no news is good news!  My fiance's waiting on an offer himself right now, so I have some idea what it's like, but not even close in magnitude to you guys!
