We have hit our first cold snap of the winter. It's about minus 8 out today and going down to minus 16 or so tonight and cold like that all week. That's ok, it's Canada and its winter. I'm still job hunting and waiting to hear back from a good job interview I had last week and I'm going to follow up on one I want to get an interview with. The job posting ends on Friday so I'll get hold of them Thursday maybe and try to secure an interview. Other then that I'm working about 3 days with my daughter cleaning and it's hard on the old body but an honest living. My husband starts his new job tomorrow and it is exciting for him to have a new venture. Self employment has its benefits but it can be isolating and a pressure cooker. I am happy for him having this new opportunity. I know he will do exceptional in this role. Right now it's not so challenging since my hours are not excessive and I'm home for Christian much of the time but if I start shift work it may become more problematic. We'll deal with it one day at a time. Speaking of which I have 4 sponsees now. Three of them have mediallions coming up. One this week and one next month, the other has a 20 year next month. My newest is still in treatment. I am leaning so much from them about setting healthy boundaries. I saw my Mom this morning and she looks great. Even better then before she was sick. Still uses the oxygen--but rarely, is being careful about germs, some might say paranoid, but she has good reason to be careful of germs. I look at her life and feel like it's full of fear, fear of getting sick, fear of germs, fear of death. However, I did see another side of her when she told me about the DNR order and she is coming to terms in her own way. I feel free to accept and love her just the way she is now. My son Christian turned 14 on January 19. It's impossible to me that it's been that long but it is. In 5 years we could be empty nesters!!!! We went over to my oldests house to celebrate with his family yesterday. We had so much fun with them. The children are such a joy! My father would have been 84 today had he not died 13 1/2 year ago. He would have loved these little ones. I'm sure he is, just in a different way.
