Taking to the Air

No word yet from the job I interviewed for last week. C'est la vie as they say. I am trying to not be disappointed and trying to focus on the positive. Easier said than done, of course. I was already envisioning how to spend the increase in salary. And I know better than to count my chickens before they hatch.

Currently I am preparing for a ten day holiday. I will try to post while I am away, but no guarantees. Richard's parents are coming to visit, so we will be giving them lots of overdue attention and trying to be the best hosts that we can be. Which isn't easy considering we are split over 400 miles of California! And of course, there was the discussion of which area is better for entertaining our guests. Some of our itinerary still isn't confirmed, so it will be interesting to see which half of California wins. Either way, I am really looking forward to seeing the folks, and really looking forward to not being at work!

To keep my roll of cliche sayings going, all good things must come to an end, so returning to life and work and long-distance relationship always leads to post-vacation blues for both of us. Richard is always sad to see his family go and gets especially homesick after visits, so I am anticipating more to say about that in coming posts. He is prone to bottling up his feelings and then exploding, as many people are. Then I am prone to taking responsibility for his upset feelings, then creating my own upset feelings. Hopefully that is a familiar show we can avoid this time around.

So with that, it is time to take off! Keep those suggestions and comments coming, and please subscribe if you haven't already. Also, you can rate the blog on blogcatalog.com. Cheers!
