Spammers…grrr!
Oct 15th
Alright you spammers….cease and desist!!! How do you get our blog’s URL to begin with? I haven’t posted to this blog in AGES. I’m now a solo librarian at Remington College, a technical college with fast paced coursework in order to get graduates out into the workforce in the least amount of time. These students amaze me. Of course there are those who quit, but for the most part, they complete their required coursework, then go on to do an internship, then take their certification exams and if they pass, this opens many doors of opportunity to them once they are ‘certified’. I love the work in many ways, and in many ways I don’t. I’m not getting the experience that I could if I worked in a public library or an academic library. I’m 57 years old and need to move up to the next step in my experience. This week I will have been at this job for 1 year. Most positions require 2 years experience, but, I know that the Lord can make a way when it’s time for me to move on. I keep looking for postings, but most require a lot more experience than what has been offered me. C’est la vie.
Blah…

Well…it’s been 8 months since Bobby died. Still never know when I’ll get tripped and the tears flow. I’m dreading this, but I have to do it…I’ve got to go to Home Depot to get some things to fix the house. Bobby was ALWAYS with me when I went there. The last time I was there, alone, I walked up and down the aisles with tears flowing down my face.
On a lighter note, my sister Sally arrived Tuesday from Plainview, TX. She’s come to basically say goodbye to Momma. Momma is 85 pounds at the moment. She’s dying because of Alzheimer’s. Sally came with a one-way ticket after borrowing some money from a friend. Don’t know if Pops will pay for her return flight. Anyway, I’ll enjoy the time we have while she’s here. The next time I’ll see her is when she comes (hopefully with the entire family) is for Momma’s funeral. I guess this really isn’t ‘a lighter note’.
I never, ever thought that Bobby would go to be with Jesus before Momma; she has a birthday coming up on November 28th, she’ll be 86 if she makes it. Right now, her weight is the same as her age, 85 and 85 lbs.
