Better Today!
Doing much better today - not discouraged, not even annoyed. Our situation isn't permanent by any means (even if we were to change our minds and stay in Las Vegas - which seems very unlikely! - the combination of my sick time sell-back and what Irish ought to make at the February event would definitely be enough to move upward. And get a phone. *g*)
I always feel guilty after I've spent time complaining about where we live because I'm well aware that we have so much more than so many other people do around the world and even in this country. A safe, comfortable apartment, a car, adequate - really, more than enough - clothing, food, relatively good health.... It's so easy to take the basics for granted. I don't think it's wrong to want more than the basics, but I honestly don't think it's good for people - for me - to complain about what they do have, especially when what I have is so much compared to so many others. (No, I'm not a Pollyanna, I just really believe that.)
Still, all that thankfulness doesn't create more time on the Internet for me! If you're on my flist and I haven't commented in ages, it only means I ran out of time - again.
(I also really don't want to discourage anyone who thinks they want to give Vegas a try from doing so. It's not for us, but it suits plenty of others, and there are lots of good things about it. Like the weather today - sunny and warm with a clear view of the mountains. No snow here!)
