Will I Stay or Will I Go?

You're free.

If it's a nice day, go sit in the sun and breathe deeply.

I have to contact HR about all that. I just looked up my bank account and it was the regular old paycheck. Hmmm, I also need to know how I view my pay advices since I'm no longer a part of the system: I need to monitor it, I think.

For the last two days I've been outside. I've been helping with a festival at my favorite park/reserve. My brother's association has an event. I've been burying rocks and digging up rocks (giant hills of sand brought for the event, then we bury various types of rocks and fossils and stuff then the kids get to dig for them and identify what they are) and basically hanging out with hundreds of kindergarten-1st graders. OMG what fun. And being out there...oh yeah, I remember ME. I mean, I feel really good and felt in my element. We do it again tomorrow (it will be moved to the fairgrounds if it rains.) It's been really great for me. I, of course, helped a couple kids 'find' a shark tooth, or some fool's gold. There is limestone, flint, gypsum...etc and so on.

There is also a petting zoo, so today I petted a kangaroo (a tiny one, the guy was holding it like a baby) and a baby cow and alpacas (soooo soft!) and goats.

Kids and animals have always loved me ('cause they don't know any better.)

Anyway, onward and upward. For the first time, I feel really good about this. I feel like I got my life and myself back.

Aside from a little sunburn on my face (which will turn into a tan as always) and some sore feet and some tired muscles (I worked HARD!) I feel better than I have in a long long time.

My brother said he's really proud of how I've dealt with all this.

Now, let's just hope that I don't have to fight for what I've earned (it's not completely over yet.)

Thanks everybody!!!!!!

Glad you're having fun at the park!
