A Therapuetic Whine

I don't know if it is something specific, or just all the little things, but I have been feeling a bit down.

None of our kids will be home for Thanksgiving.

My beautiful butterfly koi was killed by a great blue heron yesterday. (Seems like every year at Thanksgiving one of God's creatures decides to help himself to a feast of my koi).

My knee is still bothering me a bit.

The weather is dreary.

The economy sucks and seems to be getting worse every day.

I do not have as much work lined up as I would like.

I had received an "Intent to Award" for a large job; attended a subcontactor meeting and sent submittals and was then notified that they "misread" my bid and signed with the another contractor - before even discussing it with me.

I have not decided on a plan for obtaining more work, and several families depend on us.

I have been incredibly disorganized at work (there are many piles distracting me).

Our business liability insurance carrier has decided they no longer want to write policies for roofing contractors, and I have been waiting for several weeks for my agent to obtain new quotes. My current policy expires in a little over two weeks.

Did I mention the economy sucks?

Okay - enough whining, time to get to work. At least tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I will be taking a 4 day hiatus from work and from the depressing news about all the problems out there.
