1. I've got a regular job starting up as soon as the details are worked out. I had no idea it would be this easy or I would have waited until we got Gloria's deal settled. I caleld up five child care centers and got a job at the first one. Apparently, while I can't get anywhere in K-12, in preschool I am golden. I'm going to be closing shift in the infant room, which means mornings for writing or Gloria, depending on how we work that. I have to get my fingerprints done (again: even though it's not supposed to be that way, you basically need a new set every time you get a new job having anythign to do with children). I already got my TB test done.
2. Truffle is slowly mending. Very slowly. She still has no appetite except for straight meat from the people plates, and she doesn't play hard.
3. I have a guy from the insurance brokers' coming to look at the house Tuesday so we're doing massive cleanup and safety work this weekend and Monday.
In other words, I'm re-entering the real world.
4. The CD drive for my laptop has not arrived, which means I have to use Word on it, but I have beaten down the most annoying aspects of Word and I can use it. I may want to also get the extra battery for it, now that I've figured out how long the regular one works (a little over an hour and a half). There are actually three bays on the thing -- the Ultra Bay, another floppy drive which is not removable, and a battery bay. It's too bad about the flopy drive (I have quite a few floppies from the day, but they have mostly deteriorated to unreadability and I no longer trust them for anything)
5. Bloom bloom bloom, to the tune of "dream lover." Apple and roses, bizarre giant geranium (maderense), wild alliums, coral bells . . .
6. They're calling it a dry year -- half the "normal" rainfall. But it's been wet for so many years that they're only restricting daytime outdoor water use. Me, I'm going to ration voluntarily.
