Brushing Off The Dust

In case you hadn't figured it out, I haven't posted for a while. My internet time is very limited. Blah. Mostly, I've lost a lot of motivation lately, for more things than just posting.

Being a one-car family is hard, especially in Tofte. In some ways, it's a great place to have only one vehicle--Neal's main place of employment and my secondary one is a few blocks down the hill, a five minute walk if you're slow. And my job at the school is only a mile away--easily bikeable or walkable if absolutely necessary. The market in and gas station are both half a mile away at most. However, that pretty much covers everything within 30 miles worth going to. Yep. Tofte is about a mile long, and I think that's pushing it. I'm starting to get a little stir crazy. I'm thankful for the half an hour drive to church every week. If it weren't for that, we'd be real boxed in right now.

My job at the school just got downsized as well. They had to cut my position due to the budget, but two of the other part time teachers are giving up some of their hours to me so I can still have a job. I'll certainly stick around through the Christmas Program (I refuse to call it a "Holiday Program" on my blog) for Music, but it looks as though another position--which I am currently sharing--will also get downsized or cut by Christmas. So, I need to get back into the market for a new or other job. It's the slow season at Bluefin, too, which means 1-2 shifts a week and getting sent home early or told not to come in at all. Blah.

On that note, I'm going to sign off for now, but hopefully update again before too long. I'm going to go try and get to the post office/accomplish a few more things before maybe having to work tonight at 6:00.

Bye.
