Sadness continues

Even after some many months I am still heartbroken.
Coming home is not pleasant.  Although I try to not focus on missing her, I find myself weeping at the drop of a hat.

Sad news and future possibilites

Regretfully I must note the passage of Katrina (the Cat of cats). After 14 years on this earthly plane she departed to an alternate realm. I was blessed to have her company for 10 years.

 

 

Coming home to an empty apartment has been heart wrenching. Yet I can not envision bringing home another cat any time soon. 

 

On a completely different front I have submitted an application an have been interviewed for a position with HPL's cataloging department. Given the general pace of city actions I do not expect to have any news for about 2 to 3 weeks. It would be nice though as I would not have to work evenings or Saturdays and only the occasional reference shift. No increase in salary, it would be a lateral transfer.

 

Busy, busy, busy

The time for leaving my current job is almost here. I am trying to add vacation days to my cut off date so that I can get a follow-up visit to the doctor covered by BCBS. Also I still have to find a new place in Laredo, get a moving company lined up, pack, get background check sent to new employer, change mailing address, notify utilities, and get sleepy time pills for the Cat of cats. 

This morning I took a break & watched the opening ceremonies for the World Cup on Spanish language TV.

Very impressive. Lots of music and dancing. I am hoping this gets the day off to a good start. At least no medical tests today.
