Spring is Here
Spring is Here?
The calendar says it’s Spring but the temperatures are way below normal! Yesterday day was the only sunny day this week – I see that clouds have moved in today but no rain (yet).
It has been an interesting week. I had one job interview Monday and have another one today. I usually do better if I just walk into a job – interviewing is not just something I’m good at. I have been getting emails from Interview Mastery – they really want to sell their product – but there are gems about interviewing in the newsletters. Maybe something will stick. <grin>
We decided to change where we do our banking - some was in a credit union in Virginia and the rest of it in a credit union here. We were trying to sort our stuff the local credit union when we realized it wasn’t going to work – one saving account (mine) and one checking account (ours) that was used by Larry.
So after a quick Google search I found a local credit union where we could start over with two sets of accounts and where they had free on-line bill paying. So we now have his and her savings, checking, and IRAs. Getting the stuff out of the other local credit union wasn’t too hard but it will take a lot of work to move everything out of the long-distance credit union – there are direct deposits and automatic payments that have to be relocated. It will take a good deal of work to move everything but once we do we’ll have our accounts set up just the way we want them – at a local credit union where I have the email address of the branch manager – sweet!
Tyger is now eleven weeks old. She’s found where the mole is in our yard (this is only the second year that we’ve had them) and has started digging. She is a very gleeful digger (sigh…). We have to go out with her every time she goes out so I’m getting way more fresh air than I’m used to…. At least she’s sleeping through the night….
I had to rip a big section of blue out the cross-stitch piece I’m working on – the two sides didn’t line up so the ripping had to start (sigh….). It will be worth it though since the re-stitching will be done right.
Now that things have settled down just a bit I’ll do my best to get back into doing this a bit more regularly.
Take care & Enjoy,
Florence
