Hey there! No, I’m not dead or trapped under something heavy. I just haven’t been feeling like posting. There has been some stuff.
We can start with the fact that I have been unemployed for like seven weeks and still can’t get unemployment because my former employer hasn’t done their stuff in IL. They also filed my 403b under the wrong name, my COBRA under the wrong address, and my SS under the wrong SSN AND the wrong name. As far as I know, this wasn’t a calculated thing to f up my life, but all mistakes. It’s been AWESOME sorting it out.
Sadly the job market hasn’t sprung into place around me. No job. Not many prospects. Boo. Still looking though. Big A is working on my website at bethdugan.com. Should be up soon. He has some elaborate plan to use my amigurumi animals to anchor my website. Here are the animals!
Big A was offered a permanent position at the place he was temping which is great news for us! And so we are moving into a larger place. A larger place down the street but off the main drag from where we are now. And…IT HAS A PORCH! We are very excited. Also, we don’t have to share a closet or bathroom anymore and I shall have a pleasant place to hang out and look for a job. Also, we should have a party when we get settled. His friends. My friends. Oh boy. So now while looking for a job, I get to pack, clean and organize, which are all things I am good at.
And then my best friend and her lovely family moved to Boston for reals. Sigh. I miss them all and am missing my nephew’s birthday at the end of this month. Boo. But they are in a place they love with people who love them and Boston is a lovely place to visit. And there is always Skype.
