Ou...

Our oil burner went bust today. I was taking a shower and could not get any hot water. Of course we just happen to be going through a record breaking cold wave. Right now the house is getting to be rather cool. The repair person is supposed to be here before 5PM. So I'll wait and hope for the best.
The new job starts on Tuesday not Monday as previously scheduled. This gives me another day to stress out about it. That's OK though, stress can be good for you as long as recognize that it is self-created and controllable. It's like stage fright. In my first band when I was in high school, on one of our first gigs, I was so shy that I played the entire gig with my back to the audience. I could not face them knowing that my every move and sound was being witnessed and judged. I finally realized that I was in control of my sound and that as long as I had confidence in what I was doing, which I did, I could allow people into my world and they would appreciate what they were hearing. So I have confidence in my qualifications for this job, the company wants me, so there is nothing to stress about really, except that it is all new people, environment, procedures to get used to. So be it. Later people
