a few more days

It's a few more days until school starts up again (for employees, at least--the kids have until September 8th, I think). I'm already having those back-to-school dreams.

It's also a few more days until Brian gets laid off, and no longer has a job. About the only good thing about this is that he's eligible for unemployment and COBRA. Other than that, it basically sucks.

Life around here is about to change irrevocably for both of us. I'm feeling pretty ambivalent about it right now, since it's hard to know what to expect.

It's not the boat I necessarily want to be in, but I better grab an oar and start paddling.
