It would be the perfect job for me, or as close as could be&#8230; but they have lots of other applicants, and I&#8217;m sure some of them have better job records than I do. They wanted to sign me up as a client&#8230; but I&#8217;m 400 yards out of their legal area of practice (Knox County). Lots of good vibes going there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Honey got a job prospect in Morristown, which would be a LOT better for me than if she would move to Nashville or Murfreesboro like she wants to.<\/p>\n<p>Got kicked out of a Meetup group that I really like. I got general reasons but nothing specific, so I can&#8217;t even modify my behavior. But the group in Sevierville made it entirely clear I am always welcome with them.<\/p>\n<p>I also just noticed that February 2 will be my 30th anniversary of my Initiation into Wicca. I&#8217;m sure that makes some people feel good, others not so much. But all the people who have rejected me, none of them have been Goddess Herself.<\/p>\n<p>Also not sure I did the right thing &#8212; my alcoholic neighbor asked me to take him to the local beer store, and I did. His wife has talked about him being an alcoholic, but usually just dismisses it when he&#8217;s drunk, so it&#8217;s probably no skin off her nose.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to make it without a fair bit of money &#8212; I need less money than a 20-hour-week job would provide on top of my SSDI check, but hundreds more than my Disability check gives me. Nice that I&#8217;m that close, a lot of people have it worse.<\/p>\n<p>Good to hear from Moonlit Lass. I love to hear from her as much or more than anyone else on the Net whom I have not personally met.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hugs,<\/p>\n<p>Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of things happening, some good, some bad, some ???.&nbsp; Had a job interview yesterday.
