Dotsie,

Right now I am holding on to hope and lots of prayers going up that they will finally get down to me. There are only 12 union people who haven't received their voluntary retirement. I have an out, I can retire anytime I want to, but don't want to jump the gun and miss out on the seperation pay. Need it to pay off some bills, so I can concentrate totally on my writing.

I am ok with that, I am hanging on, and now that the kids and Heather are not here, I am a lot calmer...miss them though, and Katie and Kellianne.

I had to pick myself up, shake myself a little bit and look for the positive!!
