This work thing is hard
Intel has gone a little nutty. We laid off 1,000 managers on July 13 with their end date being July 28. That makes for a lot of work right now. And we got news that more cuts were going to be made. We just don't know who or where yet. I just didn't realize how much work stress invades my life until I was off for 7 weeks and came back. I have been having work nightmares the last couple of nights. I suppose I will start taking my anti-anxiety medicine before bed again.The knee has been giving me a great deal of trouble since returning to work. I still go to physical therapy twice a week. Randy, my PT, says that I am making very good progress. But he also said the pain I am feeling could last as long as 6 months. Six months?!?! If I had known that, I probably wouldn't have had the surgery. One of the aides at the clinic says that my legs are getting buff. I just laugh at the thought that there is anything buff about me. :-)
We had a nice birthday with Larry. I made him the cake I made for Paul but he had chocolate pudding for a filling. He seemed to enjoy it thoroughly. Because it was over 100 degrees, we did take him out to dinner at PF Changs, an upscale Chinese restaurant. We had a great time and enjoyed the truly awesome food.
It is hard to believe that it is almost August already. I don't know where the first 7 months of the year went. It has been a busy year full of change, pain and sadness. But, it has also brought love, light and laughter as well. I guess it has been bittersweet. I am hoping that the rest of the year brings more joy than tears, more hope than despair, and more love than anything else.
Peace, love and joy,
Louise

Every spring we go through the stress of worrying who will be offered a contract for the next year and each summer we worry about who will have taken a job somewhere else and not be coming back, but it is NOTHING like what you describe. I can't imagine the stress. Take care!
Morning Star is always in there reading the family Blogs. I do hope that Intel will find its way and that the AMD thing will fade away. Nice to know that Apple, at least, believe in you.
Speaking of the heat last Sunday dad and I went out to eat because it was to hot to cook and heat the house more
