askye - have you considered going back to legal?

(It’s a decision I’m making myself at the moment.)

Trudy, I never really did anything with that, well I did a little but it was a long time ago. Right now with the issues I've had concentration since the accident I want to stay with something more low key. At least right now but it's something to think about for the future.

That makes a lot of sense!

I know I need to work on my resume, even what I have on Indeed but I did update and then just applied for a job I don't really want so now that hurdle of "oh crap I have to start applying" is kind of out of the way.

Bully for you, askye! Sometimes you just gotta shake the dust off your feet and move on.

I had a nice weekend: did some cooking (made a batch of beans and a rhubarb quick bread), went for a walk with my niece and wandered SF with an old fandom friend, and yesterday went for a mountain bike ride with my sister. Don't love being back at work, but it was a reasonably quiet day, and my hiring process is progressing reasonably well: I hope to have 3 (three!) new staff members on board by Labor Day.

My sister is trying to get me to start playing pickleball with her, but I am not retired and I'm not that interested in taking up a new sport. I am still running, climbing, and biking, and that seems like enough at the moment.

Wow that’s a lot of new employees Consuela!

I do not want to go back to work tomorrow but it’ll probably be good for me. I am stressed because I am not ready for Pride this weekend AND I am not ready for my trip in LESS THAN A MONTH—I don’t have a place to stay several places (one I had booked but they canceled on me, so now I have to find a new one)

Today is a most Epic day in history as it is the day that EpicTangent was born. Happy Birthday, Epic! I do hope that this year brings you vastly improved health. It has been such a struggle, but you have shown incredible patience and determination through the process. I hope you are being spoiled today.

Happy birthday, Epic!

Happy Birthday, Epic!

You've got a lot going on, meara. Sending you good vibes for stress reduction as you deal with everything.

Suela, yeah, you do have a deep bench of activities... pickleball can wait! We took an intro. lesson, and it was fun, and we only do swimming and (super easy) yoga on the regular. I could stand to re-investigate it for myself, honestly.

Quiet and rainy here today, which is a good day for writing, which I have a buttload to do, so, that worked out well.

Happy Birthday, Epic!

We are closing on our old house today, so that's exciting. Ending up selling it for more than I thought we'd get.

ION, Freya helped me install a trailer hitch on Monday.
