home again home again

jiggity jig.

had a lovely visit in LA. talked. laughed. ate. showered. ate. played. ate. ate.
yesterday was the 35/35 mark before grandparenthood. 35 weeks along. 35 days to go. times flies. it was odd to think that next time we visit then there will be three (er, four. must include the furry one).

now back home. sweet home. to a house that is, mildly put, a disaster. dust covers everything. construction materials and boxes adorn each room. but the cabinets are in and looking lovely. so I can say the end of the world as we know it (building-wise) is nigh.

my little world is changing in other ways as well. I am not working part-time anymore. but on-call. as needed. but still wanted, she says. trying to be optimistic and upbeat about it, but am feeling a bit out-of-sorts. I so loved my job and the folks, my 'family', there. in the near future, if not called to duty, I need to re-employ. I am not one to sit and twiddle. but I am also not one to want to work full time. those days and that energy are past. so I may start browsing the want ads. wanted: a job that lets me work two days a week. pays really well. allows days off at a whim. with a 3-minute commute. should be no problem. oy. I am so spoiled.

so that is my life. happy. just in a bit of limbo right now. but on the right path.
