waves Hey, folks. Okay, so...I've been in my head a lot recently, which makes it hard to get into a character's head. I'll hang out online (though possibly in another screen) as much as I can this evening (after 5). If I don't respond right away, be patient...I'll see it soon.

👋 Life is busy but I think of you all often!

🙂 big hugs Rae!

6 months old!

I need to get out and get some sunshine for a bit while it lasts (thunderstorms predicted for tonight).

Oh MAN! He's getting BIGGGGG!

That tummy needs raspberries!!!!

Right??

look at this scrawny thing!

Okay, I'll be back later. 🙂

waves! Back! Hi, Shady!

((feeding cats...BRB))

((Back))

Hi?

Hey!

How are you? hugs

Hugs I'm.... hmmm.... mood is kind of a moving target.

How 'bout you?

Well, not bad really. I think my cold is finally leaving me.

Oh, thank goodness.

Cold's can be so persistent and stubborn.

I know, after 2 weeks I was worried. I do need to get new glasses in the next month or so but at least that I can breathe through

hi shady!

Hey.

Good to see you, BrekkeP. And Mr. D.

Stay hydrated, Mr. D. That should prevent it from coming back.

How are you, Shady?

Heya, Shady. Sounds like you had good family weekend stuff.

We -did- have a good weekend, yes. No one got sunburned, plenty of pool time, good food, drinks with umbrellas in them.

Excellent!

Nice!

Yeah. A final hurrah.

sigh Yeah. When's the last day?

31May. I go in to pick up my stuff Thursday.

Any good leads on the job hunt?

Dunno 'good.'

I did have a phoner qualification interview last week, but no word since. I have been in touch with a senior training manager that is hiring right now, sent her my resume and applied for that job.

Applied to two more jobs today.

You get some severance pay, right? I think you told me, but I forgot.

Yes, I've been in paid leave this month and then 7 weeks severance. Then unemployment.

A buffer, at least.

Yeah. I'd rather have a job.

Yup.

Sorry, Shady, wish I had the right words of encouragement

I assume you're planning to stay in Florida.

Yeah. Moving would be a sizable cost. So far, no one offering to pay for relocation so....
