It's been awhile since I've posted anything new or newsworthy, but I've been in a bit of turmoil the past several weeks. I am excited for a new turn my life is about to take. I have accepted a position at the eye bank in Oklahoma. I resigned from my current position at the dead zone on Monday. I'll be here until the 25th, then start at the eye bank on the 28th. This new position will open new doors for me, and honestly, will be (I hope) a very good move. It also means that I will work Monday thru Friday....more time for riding, spending time with family and enjoying life. The only reservation I have is that, strangely, I love the funeral business and am afraid I will really miss it. Fortunately, I have many good friends at the funeral home and they will continue to allow me to work funerals if I'm available. I'm excited and scared at the same time, but look forward to this new direction. Wish me luck...

Celebrate!

Finally, my favorite holiday is here! I am sitting at work, waiting for the clock to tick away. It's times like this that I really wonder why I ever started working at a funeral home in the first place. I started out wanting to be a teacher. Weekends, holidays and summers off! I just didn't take into account that I don't care for children. That was a rude awakening. The next logical thing was Mortuary School. Quiet times. And, damn interesting. Thankfully, we don't have much going on today. I'll sit here and be thankful for that. And be thankful for the fact that I can still afford fireworks even with the gas prices. Ridiculous. Have a happy 4th everyone!
