Woo Jess!
Walk accomplished. Now sitting on the porch hoping my lunch arrives soon. It has warmed up (also, I am sitting in full sun)
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Fingers crossed for something good and workable, Dana!

I'm so glad your dad's doing better, JZ.
Job~ma of whatever kind's best, Dana.
I'm less on call in the evenings now, so I can have a glass of wine with dinner. Thank god.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
yeeeah, I don't think this job is for me. Still on the call, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, weird interview. I said I was looking for a full-time job, and she said it was contract to at least start, but then she wanted to know what I was looking for in a full-time job (benefits?) and then what benefits (uh, the normal ones? Healthcare coverage, paid vacation).
And then she proceeded with the rest of the interview? So is she going to present a list of my demands, and if I'm fabulous enough, they'll hire me full-time? And if that's the case, there's no way I'm fabulous enough for this job, since I don't have direct experience with most of what they're looking for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That does sound weird, Dana. But here's hoping things generally work out for you guys in a good way somehow!
Only I said it waaaaaaaay more diplomatically than that, and immediately afterward my mom called me to say, "You are so good, that was masterful." I haven't spent the last decade working for tunnel-visioned heart surgeons for nothing, Mom, but, truthfully, the validation is very comforting.
Your mom seems great, JZ. Validation is always nice.
Ugh, meara, I hope that was just a momentary body weirdness.
I am about to go for a walk myself! Did I post here that I saw the weatherman saying that the sky looks extra blue because of less pollution?

I went for a walk around lunchtime to drop off some mail at the post office. Since it's been rainy it hasn't been too weird to be out on empty streets alone, but today's sunny warm weather (almost 80° here) made the quiet and solitude really eerie. Thank goodness for the one skateboarder walking his bulldog!

I saw a few other people out and about, a couple of people fishing (separately), a couple having a conversation on a bench (clearly together), mostly walking or running several with dogs. Mostly made eye contact and smiled and/or nodded, too, which is nice. It's usually really empty and quiet around here on a weekday, so that wasn't offputting.
