Thought of the Day: Comfort zones were meant to be expanded. To do that, you have to step out of them and scout out your chances.
Book Referral of the Day:  Year One by Nora Roberts (Published in 2017, so a little freaky, all things considered)

Having another good weekend. I completed my contract with BTA, and I have a week off before my next contract starts with ETS. I have to be there for 06:30, but, on the bright side, I’m missing the traffic jams.  Feel relaxed. Bit of a pay cut going from Clerk III to II, but still a good pay level.

Battery is dead again and I’m looking for a respectfully affordable place to get it replaced. The location of the battery in a ford focus is not for the faint of heart. It’s a fairly stupid location, given how difficult it is to keep it from freezing. (Do better, Ford!) Still, I can boost it or charge it up before I go anywhere, so, annoying, but do-able.

“Met” a new 1st cousin on-line, and it appears to be a happy meeting so far. Time will tell, I guess. For now, I’m going to be happy about it. I’m going to take her words at face value until I see actual proof of negativity. 

I’m almost done paying back my uncle for the loan he gave me last Fall. Contemplating asking him if he’d be willing to trust me with another one. He doesn’t affect my credit rating, and doesn’t charge interest. My aunt has been sick lately though, so I’ll wait and think it out a bit more.

It just feels good to have options, you know?

It also feels good to step outside in a light jacket and worry about falling flat on your ass. Or worse, falling on a not-flat step edge. The partridges are pairing up, the rabbits are changing colour … and I’m craving chocolate. Spring is lovely.

Mom is leaving at the end of the week for a two week working vacation. She’s going to babysit the cats at Michael’s and I’ve got so many plans for my time while she’s gone. It'll be an adjustment for the kids and me, but, on the whole, refreshing for me. I plan on enjoying it immensely.

Sweet Dreams!
