Full time job

My freelance writing may be gratifying, but for all the effort I'm putting in, it still doesn't add up to a half-time income. My plan was to work, or look for work, 20 hours a week, but I've averaged more like 14. I really do need a full-time job. I feel I've been semi-retired longer than I should have.

That means I need a plan, and I have to stick to it.

For starters, I'm going to:

Send out an e-mail to all my friends that I'm looking.

Apply for at least one job a week.

Go to a job search resource center and sign up for a couple of counseling sessions.

Sister weekend

The five of us met in Chicago in July 2010. What wonderful time!

Writing a SACO book

Okay, I don't deserve credit for this, but an acquisitions editor contacted me about writing a SACO book. So she is doing the feasibility research, not me. Nothing may come of this, and I may still need to look into it myself, but I am very excited that something I wanted to do may happen by itself.
