thanks for the comment lorac.  didnt think i had much to say lately with how i have been feeling.  been gone from the vollunteer job now almost a month. have missed the people which i keep in touch with. but dont miss the managment. the new manager has asked for my phone number to get in touch with me about coming back.....not sure i will.  cant work with someone who wants to micromanage everything i do.  i dont know if they even knew how much i did for them. anyhow.........onward and upward i guess......
 
finished another section of floor and have moved on to another . this one takes me to the other side of the room and the last window.  every time i take another part of carpet off the floor i can see how no one really cared about what they did in here.  paint all over the floor and a million staples....mother in law saw the progress of the room and the floor. she was impressed with how well it turned out.  only one small section of carpet left and the closet. i will order my bed at the end of the month i think. have not found a new head board or footboard . might have to use the one in the spare room.
 
the inlaws where here over thanksgiving weekend. i think the visit went ok. the big dinner turned out well. oldest son is still not talking to me. no idea what xmas will be like. could be a very very quiet and lonely one for me .  
 
my secret friend has been gone for a week now . should see him tomorrow. wonder if he had the time to miss me.......i sure missed him.
 
was talking to a friend the other day and she made some suggestions i have been thinking about .  would need a job first. then i could start to put a plan into motion.

    whoopy...your back! Everything you have to say is important, dont you forget that.Which is precisly why you should let that manager call you and tell her(him) exactly how you feel and about the micromanaging and how it is upsetting as hell to the people that have to  deal with it. seeing as how ithis is a volunteer position, and not a paycheck, what does it matter, she took something  you enjoyed away with her BS and needs to know. It has been in my experience, those who do the micro thing dont even realize the effect they have on people, it is as issue of control for them and they feel like they are out of the loop is they dont have their sticky little fingers in every piece of action. My boss is exactly like that and he has been getting brought to task for it lately.
    I am so glad you are back, I have missed you.

    i would love to tell her exactly how i feel. the last time i tried to tell her how i felt she kept cutting me off midsentence. i could not finish a complete thought. so i gave up. one of the reasons why i left was she was not hearing anything anyone was saying. personally i dont think she cared how i felt about being there and making a difference in the compunity. she sees only herself. i would love to tell her you dont have to be a church freak to make a difference in your comunity....just a good person
