sad, sick, upset, hopeful

Sad.  I have been very sad about the passing of Daisy Girl.  When I wake up in the morning I still look in her corner of the room and expect to see her curled into a ball and purposely ignoring me.  When I come home from work I expect her twirl around and greet me, but alas only hubby leans over to give me a kiss.  Don't get me wrong, I love my husband.  But I really miss my dog and Jake can't spin in circles like Daisy girl could.  It's been two weeks now since she passed away.

Sick.  So then I get a cold.  A bad cold.  A cold that was so bad it might have been the flu.  I was sick an entire week, missed 4 days of work.  I am finally getting better.  Better living with medication and cough drops :)

Upset.  Clearly the cold had me down and feeling upset.  Then to top it off, I find that at work my position should have been re-classified higher as my peers, but was somehow missed.  The positive outcome is that I get my classification increased and I get backpay from August 2010 when my position should have been changed.  This may be wishful thinking.

Hopeful.  Los Angeles County Human Resources comes knocking again.  Management Assistant.  Hhhhm.  More details to follow post interview on December 15th. 

It's inching towards Christmas which always makes me happy.  I'm a sucker for this time of year.  I know that Jake felt particularly bad for me, because he even put up Christmas lights in the apartment.  I love him.
