The job hunting begins. I'm re-registering with OfficeTeam today; kind of the low-end of the temporary staffing totem pole but a company I have a good history with. Also, I need a job. Historically, they've been able to meet that need immediately, so I'm sitting in a drug testing facility drinking water until I think I'm going to be sick because ( Read more... )

HOME.

In a weird way, at least. Sweetie doesn't look the way I remember; I guess he has put on a lot of weight since we got married last year. And his hair is longer. Which...I knew would happen, he's growing it out, but it's still not what I remembered. The house is great. HUGE living room, wonderful kitchen, gigantic back yard ( Read more... )

Well, I finally have power so this can be a longer post ( Read more... )

I don't think you intend to be an awful person, but you really are at times. You're so set on what's yours and what ( Read more... )

Happy 4th of July to all you wacky Americans I live with. There are apparently going to be some good fireworks tonight, mostly viewable from the house, so we're spending the day in. Packing, of course ( Read more... )

Well, not really a lot going on. The big and small garages are DONE, and I cannot express how happy (and clean) this leaves me. The basement was tackled and about 90% completed today. Most of the stuff down there is antique, glass, and other fragile things...so it's staying down there for now. I refuse to be the one responsible for breaking it ( Read more... )
