I’m going to be fairly scarce for a while. Steppet has been hospitalized and I have no idea when she’ll be coming home. I was informed my position is being cut near the end of March because the contract wasn’t renewed. And, while I’m already looking for new employment, a comparable job will necessitate acquisition of an MS cert in communications security, infrastructure security, cryptography, etc., which (for me) requires unfettered attention to course material.
It’s been a bad week.
I’ll still swing by once in a while to say hi, but I simply don’t have time to visit as often nor as long. Hopefully before the end of the year this will all be past.
Later my friends!
Uncle Step

I pray everything works out. We'll miss you, but that will just make your homecoming all the more joyous.

Awww, Stepper. I hope your wife's hospitalization is a short one; worrisome to think you don't know when she's coming home. Please let us know how things are going when you have time.
Wishing you all the best in finding new employment and in your certification. Remember we're all behind you all the way, and if you ever need to unload, you know we're here.
Take care. Big hugs.

my father is in the hospital. I'm leaving the state tonight and I don't know when I'll be back. my dad has no computer, because he is completely computer illiterate. so, I won't be on the forum for awhile. Ellie and Gabrielle will be staying here, because someone has to be working or we will lose the house. I'll keep in contact with Ellie and Gabrielle, who will probably keep you guys updated about what's going on. anyway. I'm leaving now. later everybody.

now i know some of you are going "wait a minute, didn't she post on some other thread about an email she got from her dad?" well. yeah. but that was an email address that aph set up for her dad, and he only uses it from his phone. he's in the hospital because his cancer relapsed. like she said... i have to stay here. i'd give anything to be able to go with her... but i used all my vacation time when my grandmother died. sooooo.... yeah. anyway. i'm working overtime tomorrow because we need the money, so i'm off to bed. although... how i'll sleep without her is another question entirely, but... later, anyone who's on. cuz i didn't look.

Sorry to hear about your dad Aphrodite. My mom has outpatient hernia surgery this Wednesday, so I know what you're feeling. (And my dad died of cancer in 2007. Well, staph infection ... but that's another story.)
Okay. Off to watch Undercover Boss & Cold Case. Laters.

...just got a call from aph, who just got a call from the hospital. her father died. she hadn't even made it all the way down to florida. so. despite the fact that i may get fired, i'm taking off for awhile. he was her last living relative, and now she'll have a lot of stuff she'll need to get done down there. and i know that she won't be able to do it alone... not with the state of mind she's in right now. i'm glad gabs is here, because she has offered to use the rent from her tenants to pay the mortgage for our house this month. so we won't have to worry about us losing the house because we're both not here. i have a few more things left to pack and then i'm outta here. probably will not be back for several weeks. just wanted to update you guys so that you wouldn't think i'd fallen off the face of the planet. well. so. later, everyone.

UPDATE: Ellie has stopped at a hotel somewhere in North Carolina, and Aph has made it to her father's house in Florida. I'd stayed up a bit later than I normally do because I knew they were both going to call me. Now that they have, I'm going to bed.

Sorry you aren't feeling well Joxee. A good night's sleep and a soft snuggly blankie should help.
Sleep well.

A NyQuil Sinus, and about 20 minutes on the steam inhaler and I'm feeling some better. More NyQuil Sinus, and time on the steam inhaler should have me feeling even better. I'm never using Thunder Blast spray cleaner to clean grease off the stove ever again. It gives me a sinus infection every time I use it. Twice might be a coincidence, but yet again, and I've learned my lesson.

Laters. Gonna hit the shower to cool off. Got no a/c. They're putting in a new one and will finish connecting it tomorrow. Got tired of replacing the freon every few weeks.

Off to read, 'Rose Daughter' by Robin McKinley. I'm a little over half way through with it, and I want to finish it as soon as possible. Slow read. I'm really bored with the dang rose garden and every detail of working it back into tip top shape. Just not my cup of tea. Plus, I'd already read, 'Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast' by Robin McKinley ... and I should have left it at that.
