Weathering the Storm

 There's a prediction for severe weather coming this weekend. In my neck of the woods, a minimal amount of snow can cause panic. The grocery stores are overrun, schools close, and generators are gassed up. 


Most of the time, it's overkill. But what if it's different this time?


My little family is bracing for a more personal disruption. My wife received notice that her company is being absorbed by its large corporate owner. The office will close its doors in a little over a month. It's an emotional as well as financial blow. 


Again, plans change. I'm seeking a transfer to full time with Amazon. I'm also training in a new department. She's starting the job search. We're reviewing the budget, our savings, and figuring out a path forward. 


When it rains, it pours! I'm still hopeful this storm will nourish the seeds of something new; fresh ideas, opportunities, perspective. 


I'm off to complete my adverse weather checklist! Stay safe out there.

On a Positive Note

  My transfer was accepted! I start working full time for Amazon next month. It's not the schedule I prefer, but it gives me Sundays off...
