Perspective

Nothing much to catch up on really.
My week was work, sleep, work, sleep.
I should be off today but I am working overtime.
The extra money will be nice.
But I really do love my days off even if I do nothing more than hang out at home and do some chores.

I was going to go diving with the manfriend yesterday but that did not happen.
I am also contemplating the gear I want. The rental fee is anywhere from $45-$60 a day for the stuff, which will add up fast.
Of course, all the stuff is expensive to buy. I may try to get used if I can get decent stuff.

What else, what else...

Oh yeah, there is that whole deal with my employer starting to outsource some jobs to India.
Yep, jobs very similar to my job.
So that is scary and sucky.

Oh, that reminds me, I have a lotto ticket to check.

All in all, not a fabulous week.
But I've had worse and I know other people are in more dire straits than I am at this point.
I try to keep it all in perspective.

I was playing with my nephew yesterday. He will be 2 in September.
It's hard to be down or dwell too much on bad stuff when a toddler is running at you as fast as he can, blond curls catching the sun. And when he reaches you, his arms are flung wide ready to be swept up in a big hug.

Yep. Perspective people, perspective.
