End of a long summer
The Democratic debate is on and I'm watching and they started right in the heart of it with healthcare which hurt more that I'd expected. Tuesday would have been my sister's 54th birthday and missing her has been threading through my life so much this year. Its made for a rough summer with a mix of good and bad. I've also been getting over a cold so I've been meaning to write what's been going on, and going to do that now.
My parents came to visit tw weekends ago and we went to the Franklin Park Zoo, which was lovely, not a big zoo but a pretty one. The weather was nice enough that we could walk and enjoy the animals and all the kids and families. I think my favorite part was the huge butterfly enclosure they had, it made me feel so much better.
Health stuff is still being annoying as I've had this cold since my parents left, but I did finally arrange to have a colonoscopy. That was a big push behind finding a doctor. I'm not happy with the communications with the doctor's office but I've made progress.
Job stuff is feeling kind of stuck as my various staffing agencies, substituting and fact-checking all know I'm available. I've also been sending all sorts of applications out there with only a few responses, its left me feeling as if I'm speaking into the void. Thankfully I've found a great new place to volunteer, one of the performance groups in the area who were so fast to respond to me. Now I'll be figuring out how best to use my skills for them. That's a good feeling.
Its finally starting to feel like Fall here and I'm so ready for it. Heat just kind of wears me down.
Also I might have actually found a book club to go to every month, its a romance one and was a lot of fun even with my cold.
