What a crazy week....

The past few weeks have been a bit hectic yet cathartic. I took last week off to get things organized before I have to change jobs and I sure am glad I did. I spent half of the week in Barnesville preparing for the yard sale we had this weekend. Let's just say I'm sure I lost some weight (due to the fact that there is no air/power on at the house in Barnesville and am sure I lost all the water weight I had :) ) and got the dirtiest I've been in a long time. Eight years worth of items is a lot to go through. (this does not include all the 'hand-me-down' furniture, clothing, etc. given to us by family. there's no telling how many generations worth of items we had).

Anywho, the yard sale was fantastic! We sold many items, big and small, and we donated what was left that had no value to a local charity. We still have plenty of stuff left for at least 2 more yard sales, which I will be glad to have since I now have yard sale experience. This was my first yard sale ever!

It was nice to have money to pay some bills and to have a nice meal out, oh and getting to buy groceries wasn't bad either. :)

On a more negative note, today I found out that instead of placing me in a position at Central Office in Forsyth out of the prison system, I am being placed in yet another prison as a Clerk II. Yes, the position is in Forsyth and yes the position is in close proximity to headquarters, but I will still be surrounded by inmates. I am NOT happy about this. I was told one thing and they are doing something totally different with me. This irks me to no end. Yes, I understand that I should be happy I have a job, but I am not happy about being lied to and then having to do what I totally did not want to do. Now, not only do I have to drive a gazillion miles a day but I also have to go back to 5 days a week (so no more having Friday off) and I have to work in a job I do not want. How great is that? Grrrr!!!

Anyway, just thought I'd share what was going on with me lately. I'm hoping to have another yard sale before it gets too cold and hopefully once everything is out of the house we can do a few repairs and sell it as is. Then this huge anchor of a house will be off of our shoulders, my mother-in-law will have some money, and hopefully we too will have a little extra padding in the bank account.

Hope you all have had a pretty decent week and I sure hope your current job situation is what you would like it to be, because mine surely is not. I will pray about this and maybe something better will come along.
