Under My Umbrella


I just got back yesterday from an emergency trip home. My sister was put into the hospital with a serious thyroid problem and my mom was freaking out a little. She was still in the hospital when I left and the Dr's think she may have Graves disease, but I just couldn't stay any longer. I was planning on going back for a couple of days, but not for a couple of weeks. I have been without internet access (except if I went to the library) and my cell phone doesn't work very well in the hills of southeastern KY and I was a little stir crazy. But, I got to see snow (and LOTS of rain). In fact, it rained hard for the last week I was there and there was flood warnings over most of the state. The news said the drought in KY was over. Here is a picture I took from my rental when I snuck away for one of my guilty pleasure lunches...this picture was taken during a break in the rain, but you can still see all the clouds. I know white castles (probably) aren't good for you, but they are almost a comfort food when I am back east.


But, now it is back to reality. I have so many things I need to get caught back up on now that I am back in PHX. I have an interview for another position with my company after the holidays. It is a step up in pay and is a move in a different direction than I am currently on, but the office I would be working out of is closer to my home so overall I think it will be a good thing. I will miss many people I work with now and all of the people I supervise now, but I think this is the direction I need to be moving in at this time.
