the road not taken

possibilities

Possibilities, here there and everywhere... Some wonderful, some sad. Which way to look, which way to turn. Gods, I don't know... where should I even begin?

I'm currently looking for work. We aren't broke yet, but I've been there and don't want to go back again. It doesn't help anyone. And we definitely don't need to add that kind of stress into the mix of everything else going on right now. I want to stay focused on what's important to us right now, and not get distracted by financial difficulty.

In my search for work, one of the highest requirements is that I can do _whatever_, from home. There are quite a few choices for things out there, as I've found out from searching the Net. And quite a lot of it requires copious amounts of startup money or requirements of lots and lots of time. And those just won't cut it with me.

And honestly, I want to like what it is that I'll do along the way. I'll stick with it better, and do a better job. I always do.

I got a few emails from a gentleman looking for a 'customer service support position', which he wants someone organized (anally, like me) and professional to act as his assistant... and whomever he wants can 'work from their home office'. Yay! That's me, I can do it!

I couldn't fall asleep last night, so I checked my email. He had written a long email to me, an online interview of sorts, and asked some questions. I immediately was so excited that I dug up an old version of my resume, updated it, and proceeded to respond to his email at 1:30am. Am I excited or wanting this position, nah... :o) Well, maybe... just a bit.

I haven't heard back from him yet, and I don't want to jinx anything. But this kind of position would rock and I'm dying watching Express check my email all day. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please...

Here at home, I'm working diligently to get my house ready for the impending weekend visit from my family, including my sister and nephew! I'm so excited. I worked really hard yesterday and got a lot cleaned and straightened, and I feel great about that. I won't be killing myself on Friday, trying to be ready for Saturday morning. I have no clue what we might do while they're here. So, I guess we'll just take it as it comes and figure out something. I'm just glad that they'll be here, period. I don't get to see my sister and nephew nearly enough.

I got a phone call from the neonatal neurologist this afternoon, with wonderful news... Savannah is progressing very nicely, neurologically, according to her. Reflexes that were not present when she first evaluated her, and now appearing properly. Her sucking reflex is coming along too, although not quite ready to learn how to feed, but much improved from what it was two weeks ago. I'm so happy. I wasn't worried about these things, per se, but... I'm thrilled to hear how well everyone thinks she's doing. And each thing is just another step closer to having her home with us finally.

A good friend has told me of the possibility of a career-related relocation, and while I'm excited for the opportunity, it does make me a bit sad to think that she'll be much farther away than she is now. Here's to hoping for her for that chance, and hoping that their income will expand to a point where she might be able to come visit us from time to time.

All of these things have been making my head swim a bit today. I am actually doing some laundry and working on some home things. And, although I haven't made as much progress as I did yesterday, I'm still pleased and happy. Opportunities abound in and around the Beeson household today. I'm hoping for the best outcome for each one, and glad to be having a good day.
