But I didn’t think it had been that long…
So a brief catch up. The Thanksgiving thing went fine. Everybody liked him and he liked everyone. The holidays and right up til now has been fine.
Except that I am still unemployed.
I had a hopeful interview the other day. I should hear tomorrow if they want me to come back. The position would be something of a departure from my past working life but that could be very good and open different doors.
I am still optimistic but have to admit that money is turning to fumes.
The boyfriend is back in school. And I am back to typing his essays. This is trying on some levels as he is a horrific speller and I am often left to guessing at what the hell he is talking about. But we persevere. The other day we did dictation over the phone. He yakking at twice the speed of typing. He said I was getting snippy — which meant that I was trying to make suggestions which would improve the whole piece. Still we got the job done and were back in each other’s good graces shortly thereafter.
My nephew continues to amaze and delight. I don’t think I was as smart as he was when I was his age. But then we didn’t have the advantages children do today.
Baseball season starts today. I am overwhelmed with excitement. My Mets take the field away from their new home not to return til next week. But as someone who has sat through many a cold April game, it is not a bad thing. I don’t know if the new stadium will be as windy but I am sure it is.
My accountant has not yet called and I am sorely afraid. For one thing, I am sure I am going to get screwed. I have taken dreaded distros out of IRA’s and while I have had what I believe was the appropriate amount taken out I suspect I will still owe. But they cannot take blood out of a stone, can they? I have nothing left for them to take. We shall see.
So that is all the news that is fit to print today. How little has happened in 4 months!
