Catch-Up

Has it really been since Easter that I have written? I guess so, as I have been reminded by a few amigas. I am officially in a full-blown job(s) search. I have become much more realistic about my prospects for the immediate future here, mainly, I will most likely be in a restaurant for the summer at least, while I continue to find something a little more fulfilling for long-term. It's really hard to beat the money for the hours worked in a restaurant. Really hard. But I have some other prospects I am investigating this week, so we will see what surfaces. Typically, what surfaces is exactly what I need, maybe not want, but need.

The bears are back, and they are hungry and sleepy, wandering about the alleys under the light of the near-full moon, bumping into garbage cans and nosing around rubbish. I know we're not supposed to think this way but they are really cute, with their big rumps and paws and cuddly little brown ears.

The weather is now officially glorious. That's my report, all blue skies and white snow and warm breezes and hummingbirds buzzing around. Bulbs are up, daffodils and tulips and hyacinth, and then the green clumps of perennials, ready to send up shoots that become lupine, poppies, delphinium.... I do adore summers.

Okay, more later.
