A new beginning..

So a lot has gone on since I last blogged.. Summer went by so fast, then fall. Then winter and on January 28th, 2010 my life came to a halt when I was laid off by my employer. After 16 years, Verizon Wireless decided to cut my job due to the economy and how AT&T continues to kick our ass.. Restructuring, whatever you want to call it I was fired. They gave me a good package though and I am able to get unemployment after my last day of employment, March 6th. So my life here in Los Lunas, NM is put on hold. Do I stay, or do I move back to Seattle to be with my family and friends. I have done so much here, saving lives of horses, and dogs I guess as I have 5 dogs atm.

So after I was laid off I went back to Seattle on a pre-planned trip to help my mom move. This was a good plan as my mind was on Seattle, my family, and moving my life back up to be back home. I celebrated by getting a I-Phone in which I really love. Back to Los Lunas, and it has been two weeks since I have been home from Seattle. I have done little but organize, stay up all night afraid of all the dreams I have been having about my work, and trying to get control and focus for the next step. My hours the last couple weeks consist of me going to sleep at 6am, awaking at 1:30pm. The horses are fed at 1:30am and 1:30pm.

I have seven horses now, in which I plan to bring one or two back with me to Seattle if I move but the thought of the move is overwhelming. I will have plenty of money with my severance package to make the move, but I just don't know what my next step will be. Making lists as my mom says is the best way to get through each day. I feel guilty that I do nothing all day but rest and play with the horses, I should be riding and getting ready to sell them. I guess I don't want to let go of this life I have even though a new life awaits me in Seattle.

So this blog is now about my new adventures, a diary of sort. I know others will read this and I am ok with that. So many other people get fired, laid off and aren't as fortunate as me in what I have built for my self. So now I guess I get through this week, this day. As of Friday I will still have two more weeks officially "employed" even though I don't have to go back to work. Part of the deal. I can apply for unemployment March 6th, and I have full benefits till November based on my severance package. What will this new journey bring me? Not sure but stay tuned...
