So – what now?
The past week has a been a really weird one emotionally. I think I’ve just been in shock – as the news about my job certainly came right out of the blue! I’ve felt a little the way that you do when you’ve had really bad flu – you know when you begin to feel better and think “I’ll just do such and such a job” and then the moment you start , you just can’t manage it and have to go and lie down again. I certainly haven’t been thinking straight. I started to put light bulbs away in the fridge on Saturday (do you think it might make them last longer?) and when shopping was meaning to buy item x, but nearly ended up buying item y instead. Good job my friend was there to say “But I thought you were going to get…” just in time! Oh and if you were the person who hooted at me on Monday to tell me that the hatchback of my car had just flown open, I’m sorry I didn’t realise what you were trying to tell me, but drove all the way home with it open! I don’t think anything fell out though!
I’ve also got a weird cold – it never really came out as a proper cold but has gone straight on my chest causing itchy sore breathing and yet another obstacle to sleeping well at night! I guess It’s the kind of virus I would normally have fought off without noticing but at the moment my resistance must be very low.
Thank you for all your prayers. I have felt supported by lots of prayer this week, both from wibloggers and friends in real life!
Obviously I am thinking and praying about where I go next. I’m off to see a temping agency today and I’ve been offered an hour a week running a craft club (I’ve been sticking and gluing for days in anticipation – at least it’s given me something fun to think about). There’s also the possibility of being offered 3 hours tutoring work too!
I’m wondering if this upset may mark a big change in how I earn my living……well we’ll see!
