Dear Lucy,
The word count is now at 14,000, a staggering amount of writing for me. The story is hard to write but cathartic and who knows, maybe one day when I am long gone someone in the family will read it and get something out of it.
The air mattress is doing much better and I am getting good sleep.
I continue to apply for jobs as they show on the computer. So far I have applied at Signature Home Health and at St Joseph for several positions plus an inventory specialist position somewhere in Blaine near the border. I tell ya, I am getting closer and closer to moving to Canada {{{{shudder}}}}}.
Sooner or later, some one's gotta call for an interview. and in the meantime, I write. And hope the air mattress doesn't spring another leak!
