It has been way to long since my last post.

It has been way to long since my last post. I had a nice long update all ready to post the other day but when I went to post it it was gone. So here I am starting over.

I did successfully made my move and managed to unpack and settle in as much as I can. I still have a lot of things in storage and just way to much stuff in general . Part of the reason is I am working on splitting my household into two households. I am hoping as this happens I will be able to finish my decluttering.
 
Then my librarian fell and broke her foot. Due to her restrictions she toke leave and I filled in for her. For seven weeks I was the librarian. It is funny that I was just about to finish up my fourth year at that school, and before I took over as sub librarian most of the children didn't know my name. They knew that I belonged in the library. They knew that if the librarian was busy that I could help them. There was some autonomy about being the clerk but now that is over. Now I get chased down at the grocery store by children that recognize me. 

Summer came and a spent my time at home. I spent a lot of my time working on improving my half marathon time. I did get to take one small trip. I went and visited an old friend(since we were eight) of mine and his family. This was the first year that I didn't go back to Seattle, in the eight years that I have lived in Texas. I may have to go back over winter break. For I do miss seeing my family and friends. 

School has started again. I spent part of August helping a new librarian try and get settle in, before I left to a different school. A full time library clerk job found me. I say found me because it did. There is no doubt that I am being called to this job. I have so much to tell you on this but it will have to be in my next post.

So there is a very quick update on some things going on. I know I forgot something but my bus ride is almost over so it's time to say goodbye for now. I will work on getting more post up. I know I have said this in the past but with my current commute I have no excuses.

Decluttering, packing and moving

My  decluttering adventure has been slowing but hasn't stopped. When I started my goal was just to clear some things out. Then it changed to get rid of everything I could not replace. I have managed to still keep more things than I need, but I have still made a dramatic decrease in clutter. And I imagine that I will let go of more things still as I got thru them a second time. I was also able to start some packing. I still have many things that a belong to my child off at college. So I knew I could pack those things up and know one would mind.  My housing searching had been on hold. There are some things that need to be decided. That I have no control over and until these decision are made I don't know if I will be staying in Austin or returning to Seattle.  Then I found out that I can only stay at my current house till mild of this month. I was hoping to have till the end of May but that turned out not to be the case. So I have had no choice but to look for new housing. ...

Work: Part One

In my last post I told you that a full time job had found me. I belong to a book club and we were having our get together. I was also buying a washer and dryer from some friends. I had planned on picking them up before book club. When I got to my friends to pick them up the where running a bit behind. By the time I had got the washer and dryer to my place I was running very late. I ended up being an hour an a half late for book club and I even called to make sure they were still there. I ended up sitting across from a women I think I meet before but hadn't talk too. This time we ended up talking and there were something that we had in common. At the end of the evening as we were all leaving she asked if any knew a library clerk looking for work. Well I raised my hand and everyone else pointed at me. We exchanged numbers and I heard from a few days late to interview. After waiting for the school district to caught up I got the call from HR. I was to start my full time job on the fir...

Training

I am once again in full training mode. I will be doing the See Jane Run Half-Marathon in Seattle on July 17th.  I would like to run/walk this race but because of leg issues I think it's going to be more like walk/jog. I will be doing the race with my sister, so it will be fun no matter the speed.(My sister walks as fast as me and she runs faster. So if anything I am going to be the slower one.) Right now I get my run* in after I drop off my youngest at school. So with only week and a half before school gets out for the summer,  I will have to find a new time. And with this being Texas the low temp not is below 70 now. Running earlier is the day works much better for me. I have already gotten to the point were I have to carry water with me and it well only get warmer.  I will most likely switch to a sunrise run time. I think that the sunrise has to be the coolest time of day when it is light out. I don't run in the dark. I street run it's just not safe, to many haz...
