[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 343065, member: 3704"] Finally, it's Friday!!! Sharon (WO), the book club sounds like such fun. It's nice to have some "me time" mixed in with all the other duties. Have a good workout this evening! Linda, I would love to hear you playing your piano. We bought a piano for difficult child when he was taking lessons several years ago. It has set idle since he decided to change instruments. One of easy child's friends occasionally visits and gives it a lovely work out. I guess that I need to sell it, but I love to hear it played and have hopes that difficult child might come back to it some day. Sharon (LDM), that is such awesome news about difficult child. I know that you were bursting with pride! Marg, I do hope that you can get some good relaxing beach time in this weekend. It's good to hear that you only have a week to go. My thoughts and prayers are with you all the way. I'm just so glad that you have caught this so quickly. easy child has gotten himself a job! I always tell him that he was born with a golden halo of luck. On of his classmates ,who graduated a semester before him, was hired by a robotics company. This classmate recommended easy child to the management there. They called him, and asked him to come in a chat with some of the team members. A week later, they call and offer him a job! husband and I are stunned that he has a job that "found" him... LOL... One of the really nice deals about this job is that they are willing to accommodate his goal of hiking the Appalachian trail this summer. Needless to say, he is a bundle of emotions! Joy and terror are all mixed together. The only sticking spot is that the job is located around 25 miles from us. We are all so spoiled by taking the train or walking every where that driving is kind of an alien notion. He'll be in the commuting crowd now . If the job works out, I'm hoping that he can get himself an apartment much closer to the job site. Poor difficult child is taking a class that has exams on Saturdays. All of the numerous classes in the University for this particular subject come together in a big room to take the exams together. This is a new concept for me. His first exam in this class is tomorrow, so we'll be off to take care of that. Due to severe budget cuts in the University system, he has to buy his own test (Scantron) forms. We truly live in a new day! I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend. This week has been particularly taxing for some reason, I'm not really sure why. I'm being furloughed one day next week (four fourlough days have been added at my job due to budget cuts), so I'm hoping to rest, and turn my lemons into lemonade. Have a nice, peaceful Friday everyone! Valerie [/QUOTE]
