Jeanie: Recession Depression

Well, isn’t this just ducky. After 11 years, I got laid off yesterday. On a stress scale, I think I’m off the charts. First there was the thyroid biopsy (which turned out fine). Then there was the anemia problem. Then the failing kidneys. Then 3-days-a-week, 3.5 hour dialysis sessions. And now I have no job! I believe it is highly possible for an elephant to fall on my head. Actually - I think I’ll be ok. I’m eligible for SSI, which could take five months to resolve. In the meantime, I’ll do unemployment (think a 60-year-old dialysis patient is readily hireable?). Fortunately Medicare (for kidney dialysis) will kick in December 1. The good news … I do NOT have to drive in snow to work/ JeanieS , Nuts & Nonsense. More here .

Question: Anyone have a message to encourage HBO favorite JeanieS?
