Blah-blah-blog

I have two main excuse for intermittent blogging- 1- working and job hunting keeps me crazy busy, 2- I see my primary audience quite often.  I tend to think of my core readership as, well... Nana.  And I see her about as often as I might blog, so it seems less pressing to get a post together.  But I blog for my MOMMY, so here is a little effort.

Real quick, no updates on the job front.  Although I sometimes wonder if I'll ever miss semi-regular coffee meetings with strangers and unending follow-up/scheduling meetings.  Ahahaha...

I'm taking this class at the community college which is proving to be interesting.  Introduction to Project Management- it's a good add-on skill to the many skills I have (on the other blog, I am using my job hunt as a case study for project management).  I am thinking about taking the next class,or possible the Intro to Technical Writing Class, or possibly... studying for the patent agent bar- because having a B.Sc. in Biochemistry allows me to skip Law School for this purpose.  Basically, I'm bored with not knowing where my career is going so I am scrambling to make up more viable paths for myself.  Would anyone like to weigh in on which of these things seem most in-line with my interests in skills? 

Mom and Dad were down for one scant day over the weekend, but it was enough to showcase the great digs Nana has set up in Bothell and catch up a little.  I don't mind if they come for short visits so long as they come often.  On a related note, the campaign to have the first "Post-Retirement Vacay" at my house has already started.  Noel, I think we could easily rope together a couple legs of this journey, as a "Make Dad jealous of Mom's travel schedule and want to retire, too" trip.  We can discuss more later.

Matt's CDL class is moving along.  They've been driving on the streets, and will probably be on the highway this weekend.  I'm glad he is making progress, but I can't wait for it to be over.  To adjust to his new hectic schedule, we are trying (trying) to go for some short runs in the evening.  I don't mind jogging at night, but it seems silly to do after some of the beautiful days we've had here.  Matt is just about down to a 6 minute mile (what?!), and whatever his whole warm-up/cool down cycle is is how long it takes me to run a mile as well.  Oh, and another favor dear readers: I am re-reading a Terry Pratchett book (Feet of Clay, I forgot how much I like that one), which is a sign that I am both over-extended, and out of good reading material.  Suggestions?
