I am finally up and running. It has been an interesting week so far. We drove eleven hours and arrived in south Florida Sunday morning at 4:30. I am still trying to recover my lost sleep from the first couple of days. We are set up in a Hampton Inn, and it is quite comfortable. My husband started his new job on Monday. Even sleep deprived he has already impressed the boss and has been assured of continued employment. I should be grateful for that fact. I am hating the heat right now. It shouldn't be 87 degrees with a 95 degree heat indice at 9 am anywhere. But at least we have air conditioning. My heart goes out to my friends who don't have A/C and have been dealing with the heat. Hopefully we won't be staring down the barrel of a tropical storm or hurricane while we are here.
Now the rest of this story as Andy Rooney would say. On Monday my husband received four calls from people he had sent resumes to in GA and the Carolinas. They all want to talk with him and possibly hire him. I told him had we given up this job down here and stayed in GA the calls probably wouldn't have come. It's the old catch 22. What to do? He knows I am not happy here, but it's a definite job. The others are possible, but not definite, but everyone would be happier. Anyway it is something to think about. We were planning on going back to GA for Labor Day weekend to bring our stuff back here. Hopefully something will come up that we can go back and stay. I am leaving myself open to all possibilities. What is meant to be will be.
I hope everyone is doing well. My condolences to everyone that has lost someone this month. It's especially hard to lose someone who is close to us in age. It makes our mortality all the more real. My thoughts and prayers are with all y'all.

Melanie,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, thank you for your kind words about my finding a job and regarding my 'situaiton' with my old love. It's a long, strange story no doubt and I too believe it's meant to be for some reason - just exactly what that reason is I am not so sure about, but it's ok. It is love and that is always a good thing.
Isn't it odd how when we make a move for the right reasons, other doors suddenly open. Please keep us posted on what transpires with your hubby's job possibilities and I will keep my fingers crossed you end up feeling happy and secure and where you really want to be. Hey, maybe consider Canada - we'd love to have you!
Jim and Nadya,
I am glad you got some closure at the service for your friend and I think it was wise to go and see something uplifting. I have Julie and Julia on my list. How could it not be great with Meryl Streep as the charming, charismatic, funny Julia Child. Looking forward to dissecting it with you down the road.
Don't hesitate to offer your advice - I would welcome and trust it. To me this board is sorta like the 'strangers on a plane' scenario, where people feel free to unburden themselves to someone completely unknown. Yet I do feel we 'know' one another at heart.
Which reminds me of another great Hitchcock film, Strangers on a Train. I highly recommend it. A suspense, romance thriller. I prefer it to Psycho, though it's less well known.
I will keep you posted on what, if anything, changes with my first love. His name is Cam, by the way. I feel safe enough to name him now. We spoke tonight and it's all good. Not sure when I will see him next, but I am happy we are in closer communication again. My intention is just to love him and not to have any expectations. It's hard, because that really has always been my struggle and I have been heartbroken many times over the years.
On that note, I am going to make a new post with some recent pics of Jillian and Ed I came across. They were in Kelowna, BC for her cousins wedding apparently. I am personally loosing interest in their romance, but want you all to see Beautiful British Columbia. Our Canadian Napa Valley. It would be a wonderful local for our eventual BBBB convention perhaps.
Luv Ann
