Good Feeling Gone

 So...

Sigh.

Last Thursday, Kevin's boss called and informed him that his "leave of absence without pay" had been denied.

That was very disappointing. We were told it was going to happen, and the only question was whether it would be a six month leave of absence or a longer leave of absence. And suddenly, there was no leave of absence.

And just like that, Kevin is back to work!

I will admit to being very disappointed.  This does not mean, of course, that he is forced to keep working for the Air Force.  He can quit his job.  But if he does, we need to sort out health insurance and some other issues.  That was the nice thing about leave without pay; we could keep our health insurance and the government would continue paying for part of it.

The last three weeks have been really wonderful for me. Kevin has taken on some of the things usually on my plate (like shuttling kids to doctor appointments, dealing with meals, etc.) and now we have to figure out what we are doing.  It is not, of course, the end of the world. I have done this for many, many, many years.  But I really enjoyed those three weeks.

So we are praying about where to go from here.

Sigh.
