Birthday wishes
A very happy 30th birthday to my beautiful sister Rachael!
Us, summer 2008.
Us, spring 1997.
Rachael is kind, thoughtful, generous, ridiculously witty, and amazingly beautiful. (And she's older than me!) I'm lucky to have such a wonderful sister and friend. Happy birthday sweetie!

Happy April Fools Day.
I have always regarded April first warily - I'm very gullible, and thus always fall for at least one silly prank. Rest assured, there will be no jokes from me...

I haven't written much lately, mostly because I haven't had much to report. I'm still job hunting, and I recently expanded my search to include positions in neighboring towns. My initial plan didn't include commuting, but times are tough, and I'm hoping that flexibility will pay off. I am fortunate that I am in a position in life where I can travel if I need - no kids or pets (yet) to require my presence at home every single day. If I get a position in another town, I'll probably request consecutive shifts and just stay over for those days. Really, after a twelve hour shift I won't be doing anything but sleeping anyhow, so might as well not drive the hour or so back to Missoula just for that. I'm hoping that once I have some experience, I will more easily get a job here in town. It's nice to have some sort of plan - makes me feel more in control of the situation...

It's very strange, not having any demands on my time. No schoolwork, no exams to study for - it's weird. The other day I crashed out on the couch and watched hours and hours of the DIY network, and the absence of some other task or project to feel guilty about neglecting was - well, at first it was refreshing, but after a while it became unsettling. I actually function much better if I'm busy. So now I'm back to the house stuff, coming up with some projects to keep my mind occupied and give me a sense of accomplishment. Next up, making curtains. I have almost no sewing experience, but I'm sure I can figure it out... :)
