Prayer request

Oy.

So, I started a new job about a month ago. It appears now that the firm is facing serious financial issues and that I will likely be let go. I was hired get their floundering personal injury department in order and, well, PI is an expensive area. Lucrative, yes...but there is a lot of money that must be spent on experts, etc., and in a contingency situation, there is no guarantee that any of those funds will be recouped.

Ick.

Please pray that I keep this job, or, in the alternative, that I find a better job really, really soon.

[To be honest, I'd prefer the latter...I am not happy at this job. Love love love the work. Don't have the same affinity for the way the firm is managed and organized. Of course, I realize that this is not to best time to find a job at a law firm...]

As for last week's requests:

Raymond had surgery and is recovering. I do not know how he is doing or his prognosis.
Annette: No updates.
Jill: No updates, though I expect she will start treatment soon. She has the same cancer my mother had last year (no blood relation; just a coincidence), and I imagine Jill is at least comforted by my mother's 100% remission and the fact that my mother can empathize with the unpleasant, painful treatment as she went though it a year ago.
Lisa: Still traumatized and in pain. I sent her the names of several sliding-scale therapists, and just pray that she will take the next step and make an appointment.

Usefulness of the day: If you are trying to drink more water throughout the day, consider spiking you water with lemon juice. Lemon juice is an astringent and will make you want to drink more.
