Fly By...

That's what I think I'll call months from now on-- "Fly Bys."  With everything that's going on, they all seem to do just that.  We've had lots of stressful challenges lately, with car issues, school things, family matters, home repairs, job stuff.  The cousin I moved up here in August is scheduled to go into assisted living on the first, which gives us 9 days to close up financial stuff and move her.  She is not amenable to, well, anything, but it's really not safe for her to live by herself anymore.  Nothing has changed about the job-- despite my best efforts to that end, and it's just more aggravating as days go by-- and precious little time has been devoted to writing, although I keep hoping.  The universe has not particularly smiled upon us so far this year, but again, I remain ever hopeful.  The wall is still not fixed, although someone finally came out today and looked at it.  Faced with this 9 day thing, I can't help but see (again) that every time I seem to catch up on stuff to do and get free time within my grasp that I might devote to Highborn, something thunders in to snatch it away.  My sweet Goblin also faces surgery a week from today to remove some skin tags and have a cyst on his side removed.  Keep your fingers crossed about that one.  He's been very apt to suddenly become scared of nothing lately, and I don't imagine being cut & sewn will help his trust issues.

Weather seems to be trying to warm up and we're seeing some green in the yard.  Okay, so they're weeds, but they are green.

Green, of any kind, is good at this point.

Fingers crossed for your sweet fur baby, my friend. And here are my very best vibes for dealing with the cousin's move, the job and everything!

I soooooo understand about the job thing. I've applied to quite a few civil service positions on the East Coast and well, nothing- not a single word. The last time I applied for jobs like this, it took almost two years before I heard anything. How am I supposed to make decisions when I have to wait so long???? UGH!!!

Honest to God. What's up with the months and months and months just to freakin' LOOK at someone's resume? I come from the legal world, where they claim they respect you giving 2 weeks' notice to your employer and that they wouldn't hire you if they didn't... but they lie. If you said you could start the day after tomorrow, most of the time you'd have a job. And yes, I was lied to about that very thing by an attorney in the Bisbee Public Defender's Office, who then sent me a letter saying "Sorry, but we need someone who can start sooner."

We decided to give the gov't until May and then I'm not waiting any longer. We thought it might be possible for David to transfer, but no. As of May, if I haven't heard from any of the jobs I applied for back in Dec and Jan, we are moving back to S.V. I may or may not go back to work on post. It all depends if something comes open that I like and if I can get Xander into a good school, but whatever the case, we need a bigger house and smaller commute!
