I don’t know what I’m doing…which for me is a huge problem. I always want to know where I’m headed. I like to have a plan of action, a course to follow, a map to read. I don’t mind taking detours if I’m not just wandering aimlessly. It’s the perfectionist (no that doesn’t [...]

My desire to travel, move around & explore this country is growing. I can feel the wanderlust taking over a little more every day. This of course makes it harder to get up & go about my daily routine of work & home. I feel this hunger for adventure: new sights, sounds, tastes & smells. [...] Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is interference. Specifically how we interfere in the lives of those around us. There are all kinds of reasons & excuses given for this: they asked for advice, I’ve been there, I care about what happens to the other person etc. Many times these are legitimate reasons [...] Lately I feel like I’m suffocating. Life feels like this big heavy weight pressing all the oxygen out of me. One of the only times it seems my lungs are working & my heart is still beating is when I’ve got words flowing onto the page (or screen as the case may be). When I [...] The big news this week is that after months of waiting to hear about the numerous job applications Hubby finally has an interview. Next week he’s got his second job interview (first one went really well….they never called back) in over a year. We are hopeful that this is the start of something good on [...] At last I can see the end of winter on the horizon. After last week’s freak blizzard (it’s always a freak blizzard in MN unless it happens between Nov 1 & March 31…we don’t want to admit that snow at any time of year is perfectly reasonable) I was starting to think maybe it would [...] Since February is nearly gone a review post seems apropos. The month started with a trip to southern MN to see my family. Our specific reason for going was to celebrate Grandma J’s 92nd birthday. She had been in the hospital with pneumonia but recovered nicely & was at home to see us. We bought [...] Well Hubby had a promising interview early in the month. It was the perfect job for him. Everything seemed to be lining up so that he could start working again. Instead we got a letter saying someone else got the job. So now we’re back wondering what to do. He does have 2 small jobs [...] Well it’s been a year since Hubby got laid off. We made it fine the first few months. I had my job, we got some unemployment. Then we started raiding the IRA when we needed emergency money. We managed fine most of the summer between my paycheck, the unemployment & the IRA money. Of [...] So my husband is a carpenter. His speciality is in finish carpentry. He worked for a great company in the Cities before they had to start major cutbacks 2 years ago. We were already living here in McGregor & he commuted 2 1/2 hours plus one way for a year. Most of the time he [...] |
