That's a relief about your mother, but T I am *so sorry* about the job. I've been made redundant in the past and it totally sucks, at least at first. I found the extra money turned out to be a real advantage though once I'd calmed down and got things in perspective. It sounds like you're in that place already.

We'll speak soon I hope. I am fine. Looking forward to my brief holiday. I also have a fun work assignment, which I'll tell you about next time we talk.
