The Waiting Room

This has been a tough week. Because of the bitter cold in Lake Effect Snow Central, my RA flared up. It was -6 at this time yesterday. That's actual temperature, folks, not wind chill.

On top of that, I received an email about one of the jobs that I applied for in Target State. The HMFIC informed me that due to budget constraints, they would not be staffing the position. It was not the law school teaching position, but it was a job that I was excited about.

Needless to say, I was feeling pretty crappy.

When times like this arise, I get teary when I think of all the support I have. Husband is, without question, my biggest supporter. He is always there for me, doing whatever he can, brushing brushing my hair when I can't hold a brush to listening to me when I felt low. He is my best friend.

Bloggy friends and Facebook friends (some are one in the same) are always there will words of support and encouragement. You guys are just awesome. You really made my day yesterday with your comments when I found out about the job.

Rented Life stopped over just to visit for a while. She didn't have to do that since I am sure she was quite busy with other things. It was so nice to sit and chat awhile. Thanks RL, you are a good friend.

GML is on her way over with coffee from a very popular coffee place in LES. Like Rented Life, I know she has many things to do too. But the fact that she is willing to give up her morning to hang out with me is true friendship.

And of course, there is the Boy. He can't talk, but he knows exactly how to express how much concern he has for his Mom. The other day, my hands were pretty swollen. The Boy kept licking my hands as if to say "doggie spit fixes everything."

I am one lucky girl to have some many wonderful people out there who care about me . Thanks everyone!
