Goings On

Three items of note:

1. Well, if you've read my past blogs you may be familiar with the fact that we have had some issues with our refrigerator.  Unfortunately it is broken was again.  I'm sure it's the exact same problem.  It has been breaking every six months.  The latest repairman believes that the problem is a slow leak.  That definitely would make sense, because it could be taking the refrigerator 6 months to leak enough freon to where it is no longer cooling down enough.  The repairman is supposed to arrive this afternoon to take our refrigerator, and he's suppose to be bringing us a "loner fridge".  Hopefully he will, and hopefully the problem will be fixed for good.... we'll see.
2. Thursday it was announced at my office that our company is not getting enough work, and that they are going to have to have a round of layoffs.  I work at the branch office of the company.  We are a small office.  Two of the employees at the branch office were laid off.  We are now left with 8 people in our office.  Friday felt very very odd.  Being such a small office we all have grown pretty close.  One of the men laid off had been working there for 13 years, the other man had been working there for 6 years.  It's going to be different without them there, and it's going to feel very different knowing that I was not one of the people who was chosen to be laid off.  It's very interesting the thoughts and feelings that have accompanied this event.  Too much to explain in just one blog.
3. On a happier note... My husband and I finally made it out to our local farmers market today!  It was a lot bigger than I was expecting.  Being the middle of winter (well, nm winter, not really winter), there wasn't a lot of produce.  There was a lot, a lot of arts and crafts, performers, puppies to adopt, lots of foods & drinks, and lots of people.  It was very nice just to get outside in the beautiful weather, to be among a group of people just enjoying themselves, and to see so much that our local farmers, artists, and vendors have to offer.
