Update Update

Bert is looking for jobs and getting trained on the computer. I'm enjoying him being home. But, I'm beginning to wish I had my old routine back. There's a part of me who wishes she didn't have to be strong, she didn't have to go through the studying we're doing, only a small part. But, that's enough to be an annoyance. I am finding it hard to actually keep up with the new schedule while he's looking forwork. However, this too will pass.

Bert said that the best interview he has ever had was yesterday. It was at a pub where cooking from scratch is an important part of their reputation. He has longed to work in such a place. The executive chef who interviewed him actually affirmed Bert, told him he ws an okay person and that he would keep him in mind, even for private parties. Between that and learning computers at Michigan Works, he's doing quite well.

My prayer partner wanted to know why it was Bert and I weren't at an open house the Saturday before Memorial Day. When I told her that I had had to work,s he said that I could have made it after work. I pointed out to her that after doing four massages, I really don't want to go anywhere except to dinner and then home. She acted likeI should have dropped everything and just come anyway. That was two days after Bert had been suspended. I couldn't think coherently, much less between working and trying to pull Bert together, I really didn't want to be around others. Is it really hard for people to understand?

I will get through this. But, people act like life must go on and I know it will. It's just that until Bert finds a job, I need to continue to be a source of strength for him and try to mange the rest of my routine as best I can. I thank those of you reading this for your support.
