Slight movement

We've had a bit of news. The job downstate fell through. As usually happens when dealing with the government, they chose to go with less qualified people they could pay less. It will cost them more in the long run, probably, by the time they get the newbies certified with the certifications Eric already has, but that doesn't fall into the scope of initial funding apparently. I'm relieved, really. Contracting is bad enough without the government involved. So. Not moving home with the daughter. We won't hear anything on the Milwaukee job for a couple weeks, but we're kinda holding out hope for that one. It's a permanent position, and it would get us out of IL, which we've wanted for quite a while.

We've decided what we're doing for Christmas. It will be a Marvel-ous movie fest. We'll start with the Avengers and work forward from there. Thank goodness for Marvel or Eric and I would rarely agree on a movie. We'll also pack up to leave Friday morning. We have some fun things on the schedule for the weekend, including dinner with our neighbors and brunch with Scottish friends.

One other thing--acupuncture rocks. I didn't realize how much tension I was carrying with me until after my first session (here) last week. I can take a full breath now, and I didn't realize I couldn't before.

I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing Christmas.
