Here we grow again...

I can't believe how the changes keep coming.  I had just been riding the wave, the house sold and closed fast.  I'm completely moved to San Antonio (not that I'm organized or unpacked, but that will come.)

The latest changes I believe are going to be job related.  I got a call yesterday from the Leon Valley Human Resources Department about the Assistant Library Director job that I'd gotten wind of a while back.  Things kind of died on that front for a while so I'd written it off and was furiously applying with the City of San Antonio among other places as I need full time, not part time as I now have.

Out of the blue!  I guess that is the way it goes....the whole don't count your chickens, a watched pot, blah blah blah.  Good thing though.  Tuesday, December 3 I head to HR to talk about temporary employment to get me in asap and I've already sent my application for the Assistant Director in.  Once I'm in as temp, I'm a shoe in for the job it sounds.  Of course, I don't want to say that in case I jinx it.  But I feel this is where I'm supposed to go.  A public library, similar to what I came from, where my heart is.

I'm glad I've done the academia thing and learned this is not where my heart is.  It's with the people....all the people from toddlers to the seniors.  Teaching them, helping them find information, being part of their lives and hopefully enriching it.  I'm hoping my niche has opened up.

Breathe deeply....


My DVD player has progressively faster FAST FORWARD ability. I feel like someone has just pushed the 16xFF button. 

Everything is phenomenal but it demands lots, fast, and in multiple places. My house in the Austin area just received a full price offer. Yes, couple contingencies but nothing big. They want closing on November 22, less than three weeks out. Great, most of my stuff is out of the house anyway. Now it's logistics on mainly little things. Getting a couple pieces of furniture picked up that a friend is taking. Arranging some time off from San Antonio job so I can be in Austin on move day. Rent a storage unit cause we won't be ready to move into our new space quite. It's all fine, just not what I expected but the house sold...fast and at a great price. Guess shell shocked is what I am. 

So....I need to schedule in meditation time, hammock time, and learn to ask for help. 

Life is good!  We are now in the fast lane.
