Bringing things up to date
Just since the last time I made any significant post:
My daughter (sroni) has rejoined her new husband in Ireland, where he now has a job with a multinational company.
My son and his Chinese wife have been sending us sonograms of our soon-to-be-first grandchild. Susan asked several times if they knew the gender yet, before Mei told her that in China it’s not legal for techs to give that information to prospective parents. (Too many female-negative selective abortions.) He has applications in for a few companies that, if he could get hired with them, would allow them to live in America.
The same day sroni left for Ireland, I got a new job. Very entry-level, and the least I’ve worked for in a dozen years, but it’s a job and those are still a bit thin on the ground, so I’m not going to be complaining.
I haven’t quit fanfic writing, I just haven’t been doing any recently. I won’t make promises, but my intent is to get going again within the next few days.
And I’ve been working my way through the Dead Zone, the 2002-2007 series with Anthony Michael Hall. Saw a few episodes back when it was first airing, but never had the opportunity to get into it, and I find I’m enjoying the way they address the possibilities. Less than halfway through at this point, but progressing steadily.
Also, gradually losing some of the weight I began to put on the moment I ceased driving long-haul. Really needed to do that. Let’s see how far I can go.
