Continuing the blog

 Just today I was thinking how grounding it is to look at the blog books and remember all those details. I think I should resume it.

Willow is now 12 and in 6th grade at Rawlinson Middle School. Ariel is 15 and in 10th grade at Clark High School. We are still in the same house. We have cats Dayla, Angeline, Cleo, and Astro Jetson. Our dog is Millie. Her boyfriend down the street is Diesel.

I've been working at University Hospital in various departments (currently hematology - my favorite) for almost 10 years. Some full time, but mostly PRN for the schedule flexibility. I have many friends there and have gotten great in-depth experience. But I am tired of the traffic, parking garage, and stressful rushed workload. So I probably will not resign there, but I will start a new PRN job at the Boerne Methodist ER on Dec. 30th. I also have applied for various adjunct teaching positions since I finished my master's. I'm hoping to get in at one of the Alamo Colleges community colleges or maybe UTSA. 

Jeff just got back from a nice trip to Japan (Akita, Tokyo area). He visited our old neighborhood (Yokota, Akishima) and went to Mitake-san. I hope to go again soon and take Willow.

I've got the travel bug, as always, and am going to Mexico next week. I fly to Queretaro, spend a few nights at a hostel, then drive to Ixmiquilpan, then on to the Grutas de Tolantongas. The grutas are up in the mountains, have a warm turquoise river, and warm soaking pools on the hillside. I can't wait to see it. It should be very relaxing.

Thanks for listening, Blog.
