Ups and downs

The last few days have been a series of emotional ups and downs related to the pending reduction in workforce my department is facing.  One minute, I feel like I'm a "lock" for the leader role; the next minute, I wonder if I'll be employeed in a couple of weeks.  Every interaction I have feels like there's a clue or piece of the puzzle waiting to be unconvered.

It's times like these that I'm glad I started running in the morning.  It's a great time to clear my mind and focus on the way I need to handle this situation.  As an added bonus, I'm down 18 lbs from when I started.  Only 6 more lbs and I'll be at my fighting weight (light heavyweight), but I'm actually shooting to get down into the mid 170's to improve my speed.

Today's Seuss themed drawing...  I screwed up the shadows a bit on the telephone cord, but this was a fun one to draw.
