Everyone knows that Shasta isnt doing well-though she is trying to mend. Yesterday started out bad for me--became very depressed when I couldnt get her to nibble any food-she licks and intakes so little. Well, shortly before getting out of bed-I asked God for a couple of deals. One included getting Shasta to start eating more. Lo and behold-after a 5 part message to the Lord--i looked over my pillow and can see where her food bowl is-and she was eating-and not just the tiniest of amounts--bigger nips of food. You couldnt believe how grateful I was-and I said it so to the Lord.
Of these past months--ive tried prayer much and asked God many times to help her out--but felt like he was too busy with other things to be able to listen. Yes, I KNOW that's a silly thing to admit too but, I couldnt help feeling that way. Im EMBARASSED to admit to it and ashamed of it.
The other is, that I was stretched to the limit trying to figure out how I was going to afford Shasta's diabetes meds as well as the expensive prescription canned food. Well, this morning I was called in to a job interview with Home Depot. Its a part time job-and ill work between 12 and 32 hours a week--ill not know from day-to-day.
This job hopefully will start with-in a week or so. Ive got a list of priorities-and the big one is-to repay the loan I had to get back in March--get the car worked on more, take care of Shasta's and Sabrina's needs a bit more-and to send stuff to some folks on this site--tho I know nobody is in a rush. I also plan on doing a karma thing soon after-and then an appreciation thing for a couple members here-just because.
I was getting so desperate to make ends meet-that I sold two of my guns--which I did not want to do-and now wish I could get them back. Not much problem there-less than $500-and I can get replacements.
So many folks here id like sending something to-but will take time. A few personal priorities are Rusty, Wayne, Qball, Jack etc. No worries on me going broke doing so.
Im pretty nervous that ill screw up with this job because-I was medically kept from working since 2003!!... Its been so long that im hoping ill not screw up. This company has loads of potential advancements-and within 3 months I can probably start climbing that ladder. One thing they stressed on-is they asked me if I planned to stay at least 5 years? I said yes-unless I get my dream driving job--and they completely understood and hired me. One of the managers thanked me for being frank and honest telling me many dont stay and just used them as a stepping stone. I told them that if someone gave me a chance? I owe them loyalty--and I do mean it so.
Its looking like its not going to happen with me getting that driving job--but ill always be hopeful. But in the mean time-my supervisors know ill be loyal-and if I play my cards right? 12 or so years may pass with them smoothly. I told them that eventually nearing retirement--that ill hopefully retire working at a branch yard-somewhere in the hill country.
I dont have time to check if I forgot something? but will try to be here on Sat.
Anyway, I owe God, and you all much much gratitude, and eventually will be able to prove it.
