Sandy701's Journal, 14 March 2013

And so it begins....tomorrow is the day when a number of (work) assignment matches (aka...."moves") become public. My DH is on the bubble and vulnerable to a move this summer. Even if not in this first batch of people moving, he'll be vulnerable until early summer. Technically, he's one of those folks that "they" can pretty much do whatever they want....whenever. But, they DO try to follow certain protocols.

Today is when he might hear a hint of what's published tomorrow, which is why I wrote "and so it begins..." So far, I haven't heard anything from him, so no news is good news. He believes that he's not really a subject of these first matches, but these next couple months are when things might happen. If he can stay put for this year, we both think he has an excellent chance of finishing his career here. Basically, neither of us wants to move.....at least not now.

There's a TON of work to be done, if we need to prepare this house for sale this summer. NOT looking forward to that possibility at all. While I could begin doing some of those things....and I have....I just don't have the time to do it all myself....at least not without making myself crazy.

Realistically, just dealing with this WOE takes a huge bite out of my day. I'm not sorry about that, as I'm in much better physical shape than I've been in years and I don't want to go back to the old me. But, I wonder how I'll manage if/when the time comes that I have to devote more time to all these other tasks. I already feel like, some days, I'm just barely keeping my head above water.

Well, no sense doing a whole lot of worrying.....worrying won't change the outcome....we'll either move this summer, or we won't....it's not in my control. (Repeat....OFTEN!)

Oh Sandy....I do hope things turn out the way you want them too. I would dread moving too. Good that you are standfast in not making yourself crazy...that is a great place to start, regardless of what ultimately happens, especially since there isn't anything You can do about it. Except choose how to react to the stress of it all. There is only so much one person can &/or should do. I would just hate to have you sacrifice taking care of yourself by following your WOE...everybody has to eat right? For now...no news means we still worry about the uncertainty of it, that is harder to not know, so I am sure your stress level is rising. Lot's of hugs for you while we wait to hear.

Thanks GG. Each move seems to be harder on me, just on how it affects me. I typically don't feel like really moving in until almost the 2-year mark! I still have pictures that are not up on the wall and it's been beyond 2 years this time. DH is home now....no news for today.

Oh - I know we've talked about the uncertainty before and the STRESS of not knowing! But however it goes I'm sure you find a way to handle it - even if it means living on frozen Atkins meals from Wally-World.
