Out There, Willowby, There’s a World Outside of Yonkers

Have I been self-absorbed!

Last week we managed to pack 3 weeks into one week. It was/is prep for finals week, and I went to Florida, and we had company over the weekend. No, I don't know about the job yet. I do know that there are 2 other people being interviewed. I also know what the magical number the new college would have to meet salary-wise so I could move to Florida. And I've talked to the current boss who gave me all sorts of ideas regarding her own transition to Kirkwood that would help me out, should I accept a new job in Florida and have to be there, oh, say, immediately after Christmas.

A cute exchange as UCF was working on my expenses. It's cold here today, about 50. I replied, it's warm here today, about 40. The vagaries of relativity.

We finished making our decision on our new teacher at Kirkwood as well, so that's an excellent thing. We had a fantastic pool of applicants this time, so it was a very difficult call.

I sincerely hope you are all getting into the holiday spirit. We look pretty festive around here. I've got one package to put in the mail, another small secret Santa gift to buy, candy for the husband's stocking on the docket for next weekend, and getting some of our one time a year social arrangements set up for Christmas. Still need to plan out the menus for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Also, I did finish the extraordinarily rough draft of Pawn for NaNoWriMo, as promised.

In other news, some friends and I are exploring the wonderful world of podcasting. Yes, for fun.

My first writing time for about a week is tomorrow afternoon. I will begin to dig through the old Troll novel, and see what I can make of it, before returning to Pawn. Right now, that's cooling off like a meteor that just hit.

How are you? What's new in your life?
