Some really big changes going on.
I wrote about daughter wanting to change our schedule. Took me a day or so to adjust to that.
Then got an email from the ex. Seems her husband's job will be closing sometime this year. They're nervous, I can tell. Wondering if they will have to move out of state for him to have a good job. I know the feeling. Been there too many times. They haven't been there nearly so many times. They've had a much more stable existence than I have. (Just not my karma.) I made some suggestions. Hope they don't take them as arrogance or thinking I am more intelligent than they are. It's not that. I just know what it feels like to be blindsided and have your life, your future thrown into doubt. Your thoughts and emotions can be cloudy and you overreact.
It's fine if they want to move out of state. I just don't want them to make a snap decision based on anxiety. It wouldn't be easy but I can pick up and move basically anywhere and keep the same job. Long as I have a high speed internet connection, I'm employed. For them, his family is all here and he is close to them. He has never lived at a distance from his family. I think the extended family situation has become very important to all of them, including daughter.
To me, the idea of leaving New Mexico? Do I have to say it?!
On the job, I got word I'm moving up the ranks. I am now a resource person for people on multiple special programs. Not a supervisor but moving closer to that role. I could probably apply and get that position any time but think I'll wait a while, especially in light of current events. Plus it builds my resume to be place in increasing levels of responsibility.
I got the trees along the back fence cut way back this evening. Amazing how fast they grew back after I cut them two years ago. They were coming in contact with the power lines and had to go. Besides, the larger they get, the more they interfere with the fruit trees I'm trying to grow. I still have to drill holes and deposit different chemicals to try and kill them off.
