Yesterday I went through the rest of the ads I saw in the Help Wanted section of The Pulse. I finished contacting all the ones that had looked like possibilities for me. Not that they all responded, but I had gone through all the known jobs. Continue reading
When I was growing up, my mother used to say I was as slow as molasses in January. She would drop me off in the toy department while she shopped for groceries and I would organize the little toys. (This was in the day when they’d have bins of little plastic figures loose and other children had dropped the wrong figures into the various bins.) I have always had an eye for detail.

We cleaned and prepared food and got ready for people to come to our house dedication which we had told everyone would start at 2:00. Our first guests arrived at 2:45. Continue reading
