Cinco De Mayo

I don’t know what was in the water or the air today, but after weeks and months of little to no activity on the job search front I now have two in-person interviews scheduled for next week, with one phone interview also scheduled, and one more in-person interview possible. I needed this momentum in a very big way.

Today marks one full year since I moved out of the home I shared with my wife and our two cats and traveled north 5 hours back into Central Texas to move back in with my parents. I have only been employed for six weeks total between two temporary jobs during that span. I have not been back once to see the cats or home I miss. And I have only seen my now ex-wife in person once during the last year.

It has been a tough year. The toughest, probably, when accounting for other horrible things in the world. A lost year, too, in many ways. And while I can not speak with any authority or confidence about what lays ahead of me I can only hope & pray that something good is on the way. My heart is far from being on solid ground again, as anyone who reads this blog can attest to. But it would be nice to get back on track with other parts of my life, so I can just take care of myself better.
