Hard to believe - Five plus Eight fingers! Other notables for February 17 include: Michael Jordan (he's younger), Larry the Cable Guy (he is also younger), and (my personal favorite) Dame Edna (older). Yes, my sister is closing in on another banner year. I am happy to report that her day was a big success (even though it was without birthday cake, or even a card from me - but keep watching the mail box).
I am now attempting to maintain organization. After a bout of the "blahs" signified by a pending sore throat and potential cold, I have become somewhat energized. Time for folded hands and sleeping a full eight hours to be ended.
Now in full swing with new approach to job hunt. No word from Springfield or Champaign (both consulting firms). Good new - a move to Rockford is no longer a possibility.
Last week I had a long chat with Laura, who has suggested I "relax" about the job situation. Read more books she has suggested. So, in keeping with that philosophy, I am now going to divide my day into segments that will allow training (yesterday I did my intervals and today is an easy, short run), reading, home-based projects, and job hunting. I think Laura has a good point - around here there aren't that many choices, so less time on search should not have a significant reduction in possibilities. Just less potential for wasted effort.
That said, time to get on with today's planned activities. I am also going to write more letters and use the US Postal Service (while they are still available), rather than relying solely on the electronic media. I recently received a note (thank you, Doug) that reminded me of how nice it is to find something other than bills, magazines, requests for money and unsolicited junk in the mailbox. I really appreciated the reminder.
