So Lady Luck was shining on me a little yesterday (I hope this turns out to be a lucky thing anyway!). I was only unemployed for 11 hours! I had put my two-week notice in the GM's box at around midnight, and by 11 am had a new job!

The minute I had heard about the takeover and staff cutbacks Sunday afternoon I started calling around to the other hotels in town, and low and behold one was looking for auditors! I gave them a call Monday morning and she asked if I could come in right away for an interview. It seemed to go really well and I was quite hopeful. I got home around 10:25am, laid down to go to sleep, and just as I was drifting off at 11 the phone rang offering me the job! I work at this hotel the night of the 14 and then start at that one the night of the 15th! Plus I get the days of that I requested with no problem (I have no problems working weekends since Steve has to be at his restaurant, so getting Wed. and Thurs. off is generally pretty easy).

It is a bit of a pay cut (not too much) but it's a brand new hotel so everyone there is new, and I'm making more than anyone there except management because of my experience, so I'm pleased!

I can't say that any of my food choices were particularly healthy the last couple of days from the stress and Bacardi Breezers, but managed 2 more pounds. Yay! 10 pounds lost so far! And 2 into my June goal already!

It seems like there are 4 major parts of most people's lives - health, money, job, and significant others (this includes family as well as mate). If you have kids I guess there are 5.

Anyway, for the last year and a half there hasn't been a single day that at least 2 of these weren't completely chaotic! First I injured my back at work and was on medical leave for 6 months (job, health, money), then was working at a job that I didn't really like, couldn't get enough hours, and put me on the completely opposite schedule from my husband (job, money, relationship), then my beloved grandma who helped raise me passed away from quick onset abdominal cancer (health, relationships). Then I came to work as a night auditor again which gave me more hours and put me back on the same schedule as Steve, but was pretty sick trying to reset my internal clock back to nights and had already caused some damage to my marriage (job, health, relationship). Then my grandpa got sick again and Steve and I were still having some major problems communicating because we had gotten out of the habit and life stress was getting in the way (health, relationship).

Now Papa is doing better, and Steve and I are really trying to focus on reconnecting and practice relating to each other again, so that is good. BUT... my hotel was sold last month and there was major overtime and turmoil trying to set everything up which is what brought the problems with Steve to a head, and just as the dust has started settling on that takeover the hotel has been sold AGAIN! And this time people are losing their jobs (mine is safe, ut that is one of the few). The real kicker is that these guys were here in April, so they knew that this was at least likely, and yet the other guys had promised everyone's jobs were safe, things would not change drastically other than major renovations, and now that is all out the window!!!

So I have submitted my resignation, as I'm upset over being lied to/misled, as well as being too emotionally drained to deal with another upheaval so soon. I am not letting this place cause any more harm to my sanity or my marriage. (job, money, health AND relationship!) The one good thing is that our city has a huge staff shortage and finding night staff who don't mind working weekends is hard, so I shouldn't have too much trouble finding something else, at least part time for now.

I just need a short while where things are going smoothly, or maybe even chaos in just ONE area. A break of some sort!

Combined fattypatty's Oatmeal Banana muffins with Evelyn64's Oatbran Carrot Muffins, mixed up the recipe a bit, and they were really good!! Next time I will cook on a bit lower heat for longer as center was a little moist for me, but great nonetheless!!

Loving everyone's recipes on here!
