The cost of living is slightly less.
The increase in his salary would definitely not allow me to live as a woman of leisure, but I have no idea how long it would take to find a long-distance writing or editing job.
It's two hours from a major airport; the town does have its own airport, thankfully. It's pretty much the same situation we had when we lived in Washington State, where you have to make a connection to go anywhere. That irritated me. We would be in the Mountain time zone, though, so the time loss flying east wouldn't be as severe.
It's two hours from a major airport;
If it's one of the two towns I suspect, there are regular air shuttles to said major airport. Are you thinking of two hours at 55 mph or two hours at the usual 85-90 mph people drive on that stretch of freeway?
Checking the mileage, it's definitely not two hours at the speed limit. A shuttle wouldn't be too bad, though.
I'm sorry this is stressing you out, Dana. Does DH have any other job prospects at the moment?
Nice dream, Teppy!
Yeah, there are definitely other prospects. That almost makes it worse. If it was the only option, it might be easier to decide.
Anyway, I am no longer freaking out. Thanks, guys. It will all be fine. There's always internet.
Tonight I was visiting a friend who had surgery. Her daughter was out here to help and she was from Boise
It sonds to me like boise has a lot to offer . I think it is worth a serious look. M is a foodie, works for a nonprofit and has an airbadb. she moved this area and is happy. My friend E says she could move there but for one thing ( sorry Dana) - the chorus she saw was not good
I'm up with a very cranky, very snuffly ltc. Poor baby.
When I lost Pachisi (from whose death Harvey has spent a lifetime trying to help me heal), I ached so much and so physically, I thought my heart would simply stop beating on its own.
Dana, I'm glad the freaking out has eased.
Poor ltc, poor sj. Having a cold is no fun. But work that immune system, kid.
I get the worst mother award today. I actually fell asleep last night for a few hours while my mother stayed up and held her all night. Then this morning I put her in her little play area, but she was tired. So, when she tried to stand up she fell and gave herself a black eye.
Oh sj sweetheart, I am very sorry that you feel so bad about this. You are a very good mother. It hurts a parent's heart when their kid gets injured, and doubly so if the parent feels they could have prevented it. It is a good thing that you feel this way - it shows how much you care. A truly neglectful parent would not feel as bad about it. You did not give your kid a black eye. It just happened. Kids fall and get hurt - the only thing in life more certain than this is taxes.
