We interviewed the other candidate yesterday. Pretty nice man, very intelligent, interviewed well. Quite a diverse personality from the day before. He was calm and quiet, the day before was charismatic and excitable. I think they would compliment each other very well. Charismatic is quick to find solutions to problems, and calm thinks them through and points out any problems that might arise.
There was another person who tossed his hat in the ring. I thought Hub would call him, but he hasn't. I think Hub is on overload right now.
After we ran some errands yesterday, we stopped at a local furniture store that is having a going out of business liquidation sale. OH! MY! Did they ever jack up the prices to get their sale started. No-name sofas for $6000. An oak plant stand for $350. Get real. We passed another couple who were wandering around the store and I overheard the woman say, "They really jacked up the prices so they could mark them down!" Guess we weren't the only ones who weren't impressed with the "pennies on the dollar" sale! Maybe they meant to say "dollars on the penny?" I can't believe anyone with common sense would have purchased anything there. I'll go back in a week and check the price of that plant stand and see how much it's come down.
Hub finally sat down with my laptop today. He said all the issues I've been having seem to point to bad RAM. He took one of the memory cards out and now I have to see if it continues to BSOD. If it does, he'll switch them. If it stops, we know it's the memory. If this trial continues to error, then he promised he'd call Dell.
I like my laptop. I've been frustrated that it's been such a PITA to use. I'm disappointed that it came from the factory having such problems. Hub insists that, at the factory, the problems may not have shown up. I insist that, since I've been having this trouble since the very first time I turned it on, somebody in QA dropped the ball. Oh, well. Water under the bridge.
My appointment with the new doc is tomorrow - finally! I hope she can help me out of this painfully depressing rut I'm in so I can get back in control.... without an enormous amount of drugs. I suppose for the short term that would be a work around, so long as I can make some headway and get off of them. If she starts talking estrogen, the gloves are comin' off.
I've accomplished exactly two things today. I put together a corner shelf that I have no place to put, and I washed the blanket off my bed. Well, I have cooked breakfast and lunch, and Alatariel and I managed to cycle the clean dishes out of the dishwasher, and the dirty in. No mowing. Looks like rain. Maybe I should go down and get the mower. Yeah. I'll do that. In just a minute.
Hubby actually told someone we're moving. This is a positive step.
I'm taking Callie in tomorrow to have her pipes plugged. The babies are six weeks old now, and they can do without her for a bit. No more kittens. I also wrote to Paws and asked them about the feral cats. They're getting old enough to breed, and I don't need another two or three females dropping litters out in the wood pile. I don't have an extra four or five hundred dollars to invest in fixing wild cats. I love the kitties, but enough is enough.
OK - going to mow. :(

I hope the doctor can help you. I started feeling a lot better when I cut down on sugar. I haven't cut it completely, that's hard to do. But I was really overdoing it. Eating more protein at each meal helped a lot too.
The furniture prices are really outrageous. There is a furniture store here that has been having "liquidation" sales for years and they're still in business.

My laptop was a piece of junk from the word go too. Hang in there.
Annie that surely is a problem with the wild kitties. And that they live on your property makes you worry over the kitties. I agree with you and hopefully PAWS will help. I am sure they are great on the country mice though, yes?
Not sure what is going on with you, but you sound a lot like me and others I've read about around our age group. I suspect that those rotten hormonal changes are the big culprits with all of us. Sigh...No matter what I think though. I hope the docs help you feel better...
Hormones, no exercise, and a spare tractor tire.... probably the biggest culprits. Wish I'd been one of those "eat anything and never gain weight" people. I said something to hubby about that one day, then followed with, "those people probably don't really eat a lot, they just say they do." He said no, that he worked with a woman who would eat a double cheeseburger and a plate of fries for lunch every day and was skinny as a rail. Witch!
