Plans - what plans!

Papageno resing up on the little fluttering creatures he tries to catch in the garden.

My week is not quite going to plan! I have picked up a bug of some sort, I think. I have been sick and am achy. So I have retreated to my bed and moaned a lot. Poor Paul is having to put up with a lot of whining and poor me ing!  Cancer, autoimmune disease and renal crisis I can deal with - little bug and I become a moaning minny!

I have put some random photos on today as I haven't much news!

Chinese New Year

Apart from the wonderful news that Paul's job is safe again. I didn't bother you with the details as I thought you are probably fed up with hearing about redundancy threats. But about 2 weeks ago Paul heard that they were making more people redundant and that 4 people would be going from his section. The usual round of telephone conference calls were made explaining what would happen and then the awful waiting to hear if your life would be turned upside down.

 It is definitely harder for Paul as he has to go through it all. It is very hard to work with that in the background and all your colleagues also worried. 

Thankfully he was told yesterday that his job is safe. But 4 people will have had their lives tipped upside down.

We have resigned ourselves to this being a regular occurrence now, along with many other families who face this on a regular basis.

Spring is coming!

It is especially hard still having a dependent child. We can manage with so much less but it is hard to think that we wouldn't be able to provide for Ben as we have for the other 2. Thankfully that is not the case and we continue on. 

It is yet another reminder that we have to trust that all things are in His hands.
