Good for you - good to hear from you too. How are things at home? 

Things have settled down SO much at home! It's great!!! My oldest daughter's wedding was on June 8th. There were a few glitches, but nothing out of the ordinary. My youngest daughter's disability claim was FINALLY approved. She'll be receiving FOUR years of past due disability payments, though they pay out the past due in 2 small installments 6 months apart and the final payment 6 months after that. So it takes a year to get her the money she's owed. At least she has some monthly income to live off of, albeit, it's not much. Best of all, my husband was diagnosed! Why it took over a year to diagnose fibromyalgia, I have no idea, but he's greatly improved on medication. He spent 9 months in a recliner. This is a guy who's been in the labor trades and farming all his life so this was a BIG change. He's back up and moving around and working on getting his muscle mass back now. He's had some job interviews and one looks promising so we're hopeful that he'll be back to work soon. It's been an incredible relief! So now my only stress is my job. My agency is being broken up so my job is uncertain after July of next year. There's a lot of talk that our jobs are safe, but it's not a guarantee and nobody in a position of authority has given us that indication so many of us are putting our names out there. We've already lost a lot of good people to other jobs. I have some leads, but nothing spectacular yet. How've you been?
