So I've been thinking a lot about what's been going on with everything in my life right now. First of all, Ed had his first job interview yesterday and it went really well. Ok, so what's my problem?? The problem is that it's a Part Time Position with no benefits and that scares me. He suggested that he would just get a second part time job to make up for it, but I can't seem to make him see that two part time jobs don't make a full time position with benefits. Am I over reacting? I'm starting to think that maybe I am. I have been with Ed for more than 10 years (married for 7 1/2) and he hasn't let me down yet. Sure... times have gotten really difficult, but I'm still here and our family is whole... that has to count for something, right? Ok, so I've decided that maybe my attitude with the whole thing is the problem. There's no reason I shouldn't support him if he gets a job. So Ed, you have my full support, but with that also comes the knowledge that you'll provide for us what we need to survive. I know you can do this... have faith in you and in our love!
On to other topics. I have an appointment today with a Neurologist who deals specifically with people and headaches. I'm really hoping this guy knows what he's doing because I could really use some relief from this headache. It's been going on now for more than 2 1/2 weeks and it just plain SUCKS!
On the brighter side of things, Toastmasters Contest Season is in full Swing! The R3 Area Contest was last Friday night and I heard it went great! Unfortunately I didn't get to go because I was still loopy from the surgery, but Trish B. was there as the District Rep for me and she seemed pleased, so that makes me happy. The R5 Area Contest is coming up Tomorrow and I'm excited to see what Theme Barbara Traines has in store for us! For the Fall it was Pirates! Aargh! We also still have R1, R2 and R6 sharing a day, and R4 coming up soon. Once this weekends contest is over, Barbara is going to go into full swing for her HPL by being the Contest Manager for the Rio Division Contest! I've asked Kim Salo to be the Contest Toastmaster, and if she says yes, I know she'll do an excellent job! (As long as she has on the right shoes! I love you Kim!)
One more point of good news to end with... I have my second to last speech scheduled for this Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at Leaders Plus and my final speech towards my Distinguished Toastmaster Award will be March 31st, 2010 at the Leaders Plus Speech-a-thon. After that, my paperwork will be submitted and I will be presented with my Distinguished Toastmaster at Spring Conference on Friday, April 30th by my wonderful Mentor, and Dear Friend Kenna Thomas! I miss you Kenna and I can't wait to see you! Without you, I don't think I would have ever been able to make it this far!
