	Still alive-just not around much.

Posted by: oakland, 5:33 PM GMT on October 24, 2009

Some have been WUmailing me and I appreciate every one of them. Your love is WUnderful and heartwarming.

Here's the latest:

After much studying I passed the 6 certification exams required to keep my job. This means I don't have to go back to school and then take the tests again. I'm done! Now there is just working everyday until 5:30PM and continuing education classes which amounts to 10hrs/year and I don't have to think about that until next summer.

In other news:

I found out last week that my daughter is expecting again. It is very early, approx. 6 weeks, and her first appt. with the Dr. is November 12th. Obviously she can see him sooner if she has any concerns but so far so good. She estimates a due date of mid-June.

I also found out my son and his wife have got a contract on a house and should close sometime in mid-November. It was a short sale and had 2 mortgages on it. Short sales in and of themselves can be nightmares but 2 mortgages could have been double trouble. Miraculously, both banks agreed and approved the sale price quickly and the deal was done. Now there are inspections and preparations for closing.

I now pray for a healthy, beautiful 2nd grandchild and a fast, easy closing.

May everyone who stops by be blessed and have only good things happen in your lives. I will be around but may not be on everyday. I'm not ignoring anyone; just very busy.

As most of you know I started a new job today. In order to keep that job I need to take and pass a certification test in October. Since I'm older and in some ways have forgotten how to study I need to put all of my concentration and effort into passing that test. Therefore, regretfully, I'm closing the blog. I hope to reopen sometime in October. I will come and lurk as well as occasionally post. Should you want to send a message the WUmail is still open.I pray ...
