Midsummer, I think

So much time has past since I last wrote. I was in the middle of having pneumonia, which I still have, by the way. They said it would take a while, but I still feel sick, too much I think than it was expected.

My computer is fried and I am borrowing. I can't read blogs or anything at work anymore, so I have been doing without computer at home for about 2 weeks. I am glad my brother had one to lend. It is a notebook too. I wanted to try it before getting one, and I am glad,as it is too small and squinched up.

My sister went into hospital for the removal of a colon tumor. That went fine, but she had kidney failure and nearly didn't make it. They started her dialysis in the emergency, and it really has helped her to feel better. She is home now, and recovering nicely.

I think my job is okay until the end of September. I have been diligently checking jobsites and applying, although none of the companies say anything when you apply. If you are lucky they acknowledge your application, but that has only been happening 1/4 of the time. I ave applied for tech writers and configuration management analyst. Maybe a system analyst if it seemed non technical. I have decided that I will probably take any job I am offered. I don't expect to get many offers, I would be happy to get a bleeding interview.

I think that is enough for now. More later.

thanks. me too!

I thought about you as I sweltered today. Is it hot enough yet? And not even summer really.

Get well soon - pnuemonia is no fun for anyone involved - probably baffles the kitties, too.

Do you want history books? How about a book on women during the wagon train era?

marthaberry said...

YES TO the wagon train, especially if they are mormonic. I still haven't had my fill of the Mormons.

The pneumonia is awful becasue one's energy is sapped. and you just don't feel good. I feel crabby about it.

Are you moving? did I send you my new email? same thing at knologydotnet
