Long Time No See

New Year and new me - or rather after newly 'redundant' me. Which for those of you who don't know the term, means my job disappeared in yet another company reorganisation (I think we were running at a rate of 3-4 per year - a technique often known as 'rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic'). So as of a couple of days ago, I don't have a job. I've had time to get used to it - they told me on the first working day of December - and I don't have to panic as they paid me a lot of money to shuffle off quietly and not kick up a stink. But I find myself in the odd position of not working. I've been out of work for about 3 days in the past 27 years so this still has novelty value. I renewed my library card and have been reading like a demon. I visit my neighbour's red CockerPoo, Ralph, and throw balls around the garden for him most mornings. I cook food that's ready when my lovely husband walks through the door - heck, I even cleared the ironing backlog. But now the tough stuff starts. Time to decide whether I want to climb back onto the rollercoaster that just threw me off, or do something different entirely. And since I have some time on my hands and have found that playing Facebook Scrabble during the day isn't as much fun as when you're SUPPOSED to be working, I thought I'd better pop back and see what's going on over at myLot. So what did I miss?
