--JF comes in this evening from his extended trip around France to visit our friends and relatives. I'm really looking forward to hearing about that.

--Job interview with a much larger and more organized outfit. The commute would take a pretty hefty bite out of the tee-ninesy salary that the feds pay me, so I've asked for gas money as part of the deal, if I accept the job. I've been thinking about what it would mean to go from being a very large fish in a small and floundering pond, to being almost insignificant fish in a very well-organized pond. Hmmmm.....

--I've been putting in some hours at West End Ministries since I returned, but since VISTA isn't paying me yet, I've been getting a bunch of other stuff done as well. The laundry is caught up. The dishes are caught up. I'm planning to head off for a grocery run this afternoon. It's pretty nice to have time for my LIFE.

--The newsletter is ready to send for this month. I realized, quite belatedly, that the e-newsletter hasn't been going out. I need to see about getting at least this one out today.

--I spent three hours in the ER with Raf's ear infection on Sunday night. Passed up a chance to sit by Elizabeth's pool to do that. He's okay, it's just that with Medicaid, if you get sick on a weekend, you go sit in the ER.
