Hi everyone,
We are still in summer, yet fall is taking up most of our thoughts. It is the time of year when our college students are thinking about returning to college. My daughter has been making plans to live off campus this year. The original reason to live off campus is moot. She wanted to spend a semester in Spain at a technical college.
Last fall it looked like the money would be here for that, but life and the economy tricked us. The college doesn’t allow for just a semester in the dorms, so she made arrangements to live off campus. I made her do a cost analysis first to see what the costs would be for the year. It had to be cheaper than living on campus. Her analysis said it would be, but that depends on if she can stick to her budget.
So she has been gathering up household things to take with her. One of my cast-iron skillets will be leaving and we have gone through the bedding and found blankets, etc., to go with her. The household is shrinking. Of course, it might come back in a year. Who knows?
Update on the password–had to get a new one again today.
I am working on creating a fundraiser for a charity I support–Colorado Coonhound Rescue and Adoption. I am looking for a way to use paypal to sell one of my flash fiction stories with the profits to go to the Rescue. Stay tuned and see what I come up with.
Lastly, I have a few job interviews this week, part-time permanent and full-time temporary. Three applications still cast upon the waters, no returns yet. Wish me luck.
Anna
