waiting room

I am an expert at being unemployed. I worked for a year and then...then I was laid off. It was a great job with great people. I was ready to settle in. Settle in to the company, to Wichita, to a new phase of my life. Now I am in suspension again. Waiting to hear about a job up North - Cedar Falls IA or Waukesha, WI. And in the meantime I read, do puzzles, crochet, bake, take lots of naps. It sounds wonderful but these are the kinds of days one should have once a month - not every day.

There is a cherry crisp in the oven. And I am in the waiting room of my life and career - again. Waiting, waiting, waiting for something to happen.
