Diary of a Middle-aged Woman

FIRED!

Hello everyone -

I was fired on Friday. To be honest with you, it was a bit of a relief. The suspense was killing me. You see, I somehow fell out of favor with my boss and for the past month I got the vibe that she was trying to find a reason to fire me. Everyday I would go to work thinking "today may be the day". So, when it happened, I was mentally prepared for it. I had already packed up my belongings and was set to go when the event actually happened.

I also got a major blow in my selling my writing. Since taking the humor courses I began writing greeting cards. I got the courage to submit seventeen ideas to a small greeting card company that specializes in humorous greeting cards. I had all of my hopes set on selling at least some of my ideas. Well, that all ended last Wednesday. I got the email that gave me the bad news "Although you didn't sell anything this time . . ." As soon as I read that, my heart sank. With everything that was happening to me at work, I still had my writing in the back of my mind. So, I went into my bedroom, closed the door, and preceeded to bawl my eyes out. That hurt me more than all the crap that was going on at work.

Now I'm in the "licking my wounds" department. On the positive side I will have PLENTY of time to write, so you will see me as a regular once again.

It feels good to be back at my blog, and believe me, you will all now become my therapists as I work my way through yet another of life's challenges.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
