I'm doing a lot better than I was before, both physically and mentally. My job is going pretty good and much of my worries were unfounded. Basically, after talking to a friend whom I trust and respect, I realized that I need to enjoy each day and stop worrying about the nonsense with my career. People care about me and even respect me at work, so I will always have contacts to do other things, if I have to. The problem with the world of government contracting is finding coverage for my time....when that runs out, life gets scary. I have at least two weeks of work and trust that more can be found for me.

I also am feeling better, after having a very large kidney stone. The doctor thought there was only a 50% chance it would pass and that I would need surgery. Fortunately, it passed last night and life is much better! Being pain free is pretty nice.

Have a wonderful and blessed day!
