Hopeful

Well, it is Saturday which used to bring a smile to my face but since I have been layed off Saturday is no big deal. Well, except I'm not alone in my house all day. I had to file for an extension on my unemployment. 6 months already. I have hope that my job will come back. It is the hope of a new president and a hope for change. IF the auto companies get the monetary help they need to retool then it means there WILL be work in tool design and I will be able to go back to work again. I have finally decided I need to learn another trade though since I'm pretty sure I can't withstand another layoff, assuming I survive this one. I have put in some resumes but haven't heard anything.
On a happier note. Dad is home from the hospital. He went in again since I last wrote and was having trouble breathing and his heart was acting up. They ended up putting a pace maker in him last Monday. He can't drive for a couple weeks and can't work (YES! HE WORKS) for a month. I am going over today and clean his bathroom and kitchen and make him some food. Bringing him a few left overs from here and making a big batch of oatmeal cookies to bring him. He should be fine now that his heart is taken care of.
I am finishing up with a quilt I should have been done with over a month ago. I feel bad about it. It is my friend's quilt and I have apologized to her but I get the feeling she is mad about it. I am hoping to get my crap together now that dad is ok.
I need to do some sewing too. I haven't pieced anything in well over a month too.
Maybe that is why I'm cranky?
