Just a quick morning note..

I am sitting at the table, finishing my morning coffee, ready to leave for work. I have been busy with work and repairs. Not much has changed personally. I have been watching the days go by, realizing that the day to day has increased to month to month.. I have had little to no personal contact beside out weekly drives in the car to talk. I think the limitations are lifting, I see less and less people concerned with masking-up. I still wear a mask in the stores, and always have one in the car. we have been free of infection, and I belive that it has winded down to the 'common cold' level.. Hoping that is true. I dropped off the pie plate, and also got a message about the broken collar bone.. so sorry to hear, I have never broken a bone, and am sure its if painful, and recovery takes longer the older we get. I was told she was looking to take a few days off, before the accident.. I guess she will now. Gentle hugs for you. I hope you heal soon. Rest. It is raining, and I must head off to work. I will post again soon. It is the end of March.. R 3/24/2002

In like a lion

I do not think i really know what that means. I am sure its weather related...but, it can apply to daily life.

I was just reviewing a few previous posts, to see where I left off...

It is March, I have made the job change. It went smoothly, with the exception of a mis-understanding
of my exit date, which got cleared up. 
The new job is cool, as with any new thing, there is a learning curve, and feeling out of the situations and figuring out where it all fits in.

Monetarily..it is ok, so far..still waiting for it to settle down. It is less money, considerably.. but I have justifications..travel and time is greatly reduced. With the rizing gas prices..that is a blessing!  Plus the normal Monday through Friday work week with weekends off is good too.

We are still in 'Pandemic' times..but it seems to be getting better.. but still no going out to dinner or road trips.

I have been very successful paying off my monthly bills, I am down to two credit card balances! Virtually all paid off, one down to the last $600 and the other just a recurring monthly bill of $60.. I still have my car payment and Student loan, but L has been paying that for the last year. 
So beside the monthly mortgage, student loan, car payment, utilities, car insurance, food and gas, and the two cards.. I have no debt. 

I never thought I would ever be able to say that.

The timing of the job change could not have been better..I have less pay, but a lot less to pay for.  Hopefully by the time I get my first raise, I will be settled and stable in my income. 

Personal life.. has not changed..still just me and L.. outside contact is limited to radio work and radio people. I am just trying to stay in touch, every now and then with those that will respond. 

yeah, a bit lonely.

I stay busy, and get to the next day.
I refrain from sending a text most days, then it blurs a bit..and it has been a few weeks.. so I say 'Hi'.. and usually get a reply later. 
Both trying not to seem eager, or just both being busy. 
Im not seeing anybody, Pandemically not possible, especially to see anyone new. So as always, I am just 'Here', being me. 

So.. 
I read a post from last year..
I copied it, to maybe post on my page.. I know it will get responses, I also know it wont get a response from who it was/is directed to.. 
But, it is how I felt/still feel, and I think it explains me a little. 
So, I probably will post it. 

Welcome to March!
