Thank you all for your kind words. I have now put out 6 resumes... and I found a couple more sites to look into. I have sent emails to all my contacts to let them know I am looking. I have to be careful, because I am not wanting my folks to get wind of this. Dad is scheduled for surgery Friday and I don't want this to interfere with his recovery.

I think the worst thing is that my boss is also my friend. She was my friend before she became my boss... and we had worked hard to keep work separate from friendship. She told me all of this over the phone ( I was at a workshop and insisted she tell me, so she did) but she has not called me since! I am so disappointed in that. And I am certain she knew this was going to happen at least 2 weeks ago. She had promised all of us that she would keep us all updated as to what was happening, but she didn't. The last all of us knew, our hours were going to be cut. We were all gearing up for that, but now no one has to worry about cut hours... except me! I think she did me wrong, and it makes it worse that she hasn't called me to see how I am doing. Makes me question who I can trust anymore.

Please keep those prayers coming my way! I need them now more than ever!

And Reggie... I feel honored that I was the first recipient of your cyber hugs! THANKS! You made me smile through the tears.
