…and it’s only 5:19 a.m. That’s a good thing, Martha.
- I’m among the living again, yay! No DayQuil or NyQuil yesterday, and we made it just fine. [I am willing away the tickly feeling in my lungs, however.] Another virus in the books, and all’s well that ends well. And just in time for Dinner Theatre rehearsals to start tonight at 7.
- I was short on ideas — and time — for Jake’s upcoming 4th birthday, so daughter-in-law Hannah gave me this great idea. And thanks to the BOGO offer, Justin gets a pair, too.
- Had a great impromptu visit with Simone last night.
- Mavis is slowly improving. Bigtime PTL on that score.
- Two of my former students commented on my Facebook wall that they missed choir & musical theater. That’s a feather for sure.
- Last night at 10:30, I shut down the box and told the Thriller I was going up to read. I said, “…and another week starts.” His response? “Yeah, but it’s another week closer to our vacation.” Touché!
All this, and on a Monday, even. Now let’s see if five choir rehearsals match up…

OK OK. Come on. Give me your good news for today. I know you have some. Tell, share, crow, go.
At 8am I got a call from a recruiter to set up an interview with another company interested in me. I had a great “screening” meeting with the recruiter last Thurs at his office, then Friday had a good 30-minute phone interview with the hiring manager for this job. Sort of a “variation on a theme” for my skill sets: technical writing + managing a group of 3 tech writers & develop some processes & a strategy for their end-user doc, plus would have to do some training for them, too.
So I go meet the hiring manager on Tuesday at 3pm. Not as many warm/fuzzies about this job as with the company I’m meeting with today, but COULD be a great backup plan if for some unknown reason things DON’T work out today….
…but I’m thinking today should go REALLY well…. Fingers/toes crossed!

When it rains it pours! I saw your Facebook post last night. You are going to have so many offers, I predict…the fact that they’re pursuing you in this economy is a testament to how your talents are still highly sought after. You are going to nail this! XO
I’m thrilled that you’re doing better and surviving without the Quils. I join you with the PTL about Mavis. Not much new to report on my front, just the repeat of same old, same old. The lawns have greened significantly as a result of the recent rain, so mowing is still in demand — 6 1/2 hours today After this mowing, came home and had to mow my own front lawn! Have a left foot that’s a tad sore. That’s not good. Glad I don’t have to mow tomorrow, so I can give it some rest. (May have to mow my back yard tomorrow. Since it’s the back yard, maybe it can wait!
Thanks, pal — and the lawn mowing is almost at an end. Maybe another month? But then you’ll be up and out. Hey, IOU an email. Stay tuned!
