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.
