Month In Review


The merry month of May is almost over - one full day left.  Let's see, this month:
  • I've now been unemployed for a little over four months; that's bad since I don't have a full-time job nor benefits, but good because I've been able to spend time with Joe and get some things done that I'd put off.  And, I still have my part-time job; had five job interviews.
  • Joe hasn't had any medical emergency now in four months and that's undeniably great.
  • I didn't make it home to the family reunion in Georgia and that's not good.  That means that I haven't seen Mom and Dad now in over a year and that's definitely not good.
  • It's still snowing here in Wyoming, but that beats 90+ degrees and humidity in Georgia.
  • I lost a friend through death and that's never a good thing.
  • Joe has participated in a sleep study, been to the radiologist, been to the eye specialist and been to a surgeon.
  • We have fed missionaries, new neighbors, new ward members, a newly married ward couple.
  • We had a cultural experience watching "Riverdance".
  • Joe started working at the Senior Citizen Center as a volunteer.
  • I've had a real lunch with real friends at a real restaurant like a real person.
  • I've made and delivered numerous dinners and cobblers to people who have blessed me or needed some love or needed to feel welcome.
  • But, the best thing in May was having the opportunity to go and visit with the kids once again.  And, having a safe and uneventful trip.
Hope to see you again next year!
