Still hanging

One more day has passed without Barry's company being saved via the financial plan that is in the works.

Yes, this is the same plan that was hammered out pretty well on Friday and was to have been signed straightaway. It has not. There are rumors flying everywhere about there being glitches, and other problems, and no one knows what to believe. Barry's crew is on the road working, but he hears that most other people are not at work, either having been told not to come in or having elected to file for unemployment.

He assumes that things are still on target to have the agreement signed--but you know what happens when you assume.

So here I sit, trying to get through the day without overloading on carbs, and hoping for an answer soon. The right answer of course, that is the one I want. I sure do not want Barry to have to go through finding another job, and the only thing that makes any sense is that this will work out--it is the waiting that is so hard for me. And this is not even about me. Damn it to hell, things are never good when they do not revolve around me! That means I cannot fix them

My friend had surgery today, and while I visited her after work, she had to hurl. That ran me out of there in a hurry-- so I went to a short spinning class. I am still not up to par, but I got through it, so I am going to try it again in the morning--I have training after work.

All the mares are still pregnant. Imagine that. Without an answer from Barry's work, I do not know what to do about the two time sensitive issues in our world--the already paid for breeding on the next few mares, one of whom needs to be short-cycled on Thursday, and our vacation that may or may not go. The deadline on that is Wednesday.

To keep myself from spiralling into a mass of nerves, I am going to go to bed--like I ever need an excuse for that!

I hope something pulls through soon about Barry's job. I know how it feels like you have to put life on HOLD when you lose an income!

Waiting just sucks! Being a control freak, I hate when things are out of my hands. I'm sending good vibes regarding Barry's job.

I know this comment is late as usual, hoping Barry's job is okay, and the breeding/foaling just falls into place like it should.
