Wow, what a month this has been so far. Seems life is even busier now than when I was working.
Still looking for work... 84 applications in 35 days. Not a lot of movement yet, but at least a couple of possibilities. In the meantime, I'm looking into additional training available to WorkSource registrants. Who knows, maybe I'll even figure out what I want to be when I grow up. :D
After a month of total inactivity, followed by a 'get busy or get going' email to my realtor, the house is now on an aggressive marketing schedule... open houses every Sunday afternoon and two broker tours scheduled in the next two weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed that we get some interest soon. On an incredibly positive note, the in-laws accepted an offer on their place yesterday. MIL has already found an apartment she thinks they will love. She's a mover and shaker, that one.
Wrapping up Bon's senior year, she's now past senior project/oral presentations, local scholarship applications, and SKID (Stop Kids' Intoxicated Driving) presentation. Tonight is prom. I can't wait to see my beautiful princess all gussied up. Now that we've got a confirmed place to hold her graduation bbq, we'll get announcements out this week. June 5th is only a hop, skip and a jump away. And then my last little birdie is ready to take wing.
After taking a much-deserved break, Dan is gearing up for his airframe certification. He'll start back to school in the fall for the power plant portion of his degree program. I'm really proud of how my young man has taken life by the horns and is making his own way. I do miss our weekly lunch get-togethers. Hopefully, those will resume come fall term.
Spring is finally in full swing here, and along with the season the onslaught of everything green...including the weeds. Days of pulling, hoeing, planting, and mulching; and the place is looking pretty spiffy if I do say so. Duke has loved having me home and outside most every afternoon. He puts up with all that yard work, but really prefers fetching sticks from the river, playing catch, and being chased. Now, if I could just figure out a way to get paid for all of this frivolity...
