Back At It

As the week began I was back at the job search grind. Some things are the same regardless where you live. I've got a Kmart interview on Saturday, and delivered my resume to the Kohl's Corporate HQ yesterday. I know I should be patient with all of this, but please... I just want to get back to work.

I went back to my hometown as a kid. Lots of changes there. I heard the other side of town is now where all the new businesses built. Will have to make a day of hitting just there. Got a stack of newspapers in front of me to get through today. It's a bit harder up here because I've never heard of some of these companies, so I have to research them first to see if they would be somewhere I'd fit. Looks like today is going to be more of an indoor job. Tricia is sick, so I think the timing on this will be good.She's gotten a cough that keeps her up most of the night. Now her ribs are getting pretty sore just from coughing.

We've settled in to our new room very well. Everyone here is very nice about our being here. We know it's hard having someone in the house, but they've sure been great to us. Tricia and I are learning how to play WIII (the "we" game system). It's pretty funny to watch us, which keeps the boys laughing at us. It's been a flashback of memories for me so far: remembering the relatives here, or when our kids were this age, or David (he's 5) reminds me of the Kaylie and Makenzie, or being called Auntie again, instead of Tricia being Auntie. (We both get a bit confused on that one.) Sometimes I even get called Zamma so I'll answer. We're adjusting to the weather fairly well. Face it, it's cold here, weather-wise, but the people here are more than making up for the temps.

Now, back to the job search...
