My trip to Arkansas to see my grandmother went well. I must say that I am not used to 10 degree weather though. A bit too cold for my Arizona blood. Next time I must remember to bring gloves. That said, I just found out that the third of March may be my last day at my job as that is the time for contract negotiations and we do not have enough work right now to keep all of us here.
They will be looking at stats on that day to decide if we are to stay.
I guess I need to start looking for something now just in case it hits the fan.

Tomorrow we celebrate my childrens birthday AND my father may get to come home. It looks as if they have stabilized his blood sugar. His kidney doctor was part at fault, he overdosed his medication and it was that and an allergic reaction that caused the entire episode. He is in good spirits and can’t wait to get out.

OK, I work at Honeywell and am a subcontractor. Honeywell posted a new position with the same contracting company I am with now. I asked if I could apply and they told me I would need to quit my job I have now before I could apply. That means I still might not get the new position and would be out of work totaly.
I dont understand. Working for most companies they encourage you to apply for other positions. Not with my contracting company. I am so frustrated. This would have meant another 20K a year. Such is life I guess.

OK, so we found that the new kidney drug my dad was taking was prescribed in too high a dosage AND he was allergic to it. It should have cleared his system by now but they still cannot keep his blood sugar up. They can spike it to 150 and half an hour later it drops to the low 50s’. He is in Critical care and will remain so until they can stabilize him. They say they have never seen this before and do not yet know the cause.
