It's the day after my birthday so the hubby gave me permission to pay for another year's subscription to my upgraded level of writing.com. This morning I got a call from a company who supports the US Govt. He wanted to know if I would be interested in a fulltime position here in town as a Windows/Unix Administrator. Of course, I said yes. I have been awaiting the email he verified my account to since this morning. I know HR folks get busy, so I'll look for it again tomorrow. Today a lovely arrangement of tropical flowers arrived at the door. I was wondering where my birthday card was from my mother, normally she sends one a few days in advance. This is the first time she's sent me flowers. The smell so fresh and fabulous. I hope the cats don't decide to munch on the leaves. Well, the daughter got married so she claims she's half British now. She's learning that being overseas away from the country you grew up in usually has a deficit of conveniences and flavors you became accustomed to. She misses things like Reese's Puffs, Cinnamon flavored gum and candies, New Mexican cuisine, most fast food restaurants, cats (because he's allergic), and so on. I did not get to go to her wedding because no job means no money means no visa to go. However, I made her a lacy necklace by hand and sent it to her and she happily used it in her wedding. I do have pictures and she was the happiest I've seen her in a very long time. Yes, I gathered another rejection to my manuscript, but this is okay. She likes my voice and invited me to send new stuff to her directly. In the meantime, the hubby and I have been writing and putting together artwork for a web comic we will be publishing.
