Settling in

I've been in San Antonio since September 27 so just a few weeks now. Splitting time between Austin and SA due to job commitments and trying to get my house ready to be sold is taking its toll. Yes I have Stacy but he can't come to Austin to help cause the dogs are now in SA and need care and we have 17 year old Melissa in SA not to be left alone yet. 

On the Austin end it's tough trying to do the repair and fix it stuff alone with the limited time. And when I'm in the area I need to get hours in at the library. Just not enough time. 20 hours a week in Liberty Hill whether physically or via computer. 

I also work 19 hours a week at Palo Alto College as a reference librarian. BORING!!!!  I'm working so below my potential that I'm practically sleep walking when I'm there. I've also found out that the job will remain 19 hours a week for as long as I will stay and some of the ppl have been there 5 years. I need full time so job search is still on. 

Life is good but very stressful. Moving in together is a huge stress. Selling a house is a huge stress. This entire job situation is incredibly stressful. Stacy and I keep saying that making it through all of this means we can make it through anything. 

Oh, add in the commuting issue to Austin area. And the monetary burden of decreased income and two house payments. Stacy's brother used to rent part of his house so rental income is gone as I'm there but I bring the extra mortgage. Sigh. Need to sell my house fast and get me a wife to take care is some of this stuff!!  

I just keep moving forward and trust all will move fast once house is on the market. Just need to eek out time and stress relief!  Keep looking to the exciting future, ONWARD!
