Oh Christmas Tree

Breakfast Supervisor came to complain we hardly have anything out and it's 14 days until Christmas. Told them about the decorations in storage. So out comes the Banquets people then Sales came out to decorate a bit more. I helped and gave me a gift. Then General Manager arrived with a bunch of poinsettias. Poinsettias fell over every time the door opened and wind rushed in. So doubled up on the wreaths around them. Manager put rocks on top of the soil to weight them down after watering the plants. More festive now.

OMG, I am freaking out here. Siblings are planning to move Mom to long term skilled care so already stressed figuring out what to put in her room and what to take for us. I don't have room for any of her furniture. One sister said our Mom qualifies for hospice care. Is my Mom going to be alive on Christmas Day? Now have to worry how to live without my mother. My siblings barely speak to me.

Then I come home to a job offer, starting Jan 2. Have to get fingerprints done since handling confidential information. Been through that before. I am so happy I can't stop shaking. Have to get through Christmas and New Year’s first. I prayed for so long for this opportunity. Now have to quit the shuttle driver job at the other hotel. I don't want to work 6 days a week and have to go to bed at 7 PM.

Seemed unfair to continue working there to quit in a couple weeks. Said in the email it was nice meeting everyone. Manager understood and commented how it would have been nice if I got this offer sooner so he could have hired someone else.
