I&#8217;m trying an experiment, much like I did when I had that rash of posting a few years ago, of trying to write something, no matter how trivial, at least once a day, and hoping that will spark the habit.  The fact that the first page on here spans more than 2 years is really sad, but&#8230;  I can&#8217;t do anything but move on from that.  I&#8217;ve privatized a bunch of entries, so there are about a dozen additional posts in that period, and&#8230;I&#8217;m the only one who&#8217;s really bothered by this, aren&#8217;t I?  Stop talking about it?  Probably a good idea.<\/li>\n<li>Hunter is curled up on a blanket behind me.  Oddly, Phoebe isn&#8217;t on my lap.  She&#8217;s the newest addition to our three-cat collection and is a lap cat <em>par excellence<\/em>.  She normally takes up residence here when I work in the evening, which is most nights, but she must&#8217;ve found another cozy spot somewhere else in the house.<\/li>\n<li>My new job isn&#8217;t without its quirks, but it&#8217;s light-years beyond my old position.  It&#8217;s been a breathtaking answer to prayer.  I feel productive, valued, like my contributions are appreciated and matter, and (this is huge) I don&#8217;t dread going to work any more.  Sunday evenings aren&#8217;t the slow emotional downward spiral of anticipation they used to be.  It&#8217;s taken me a while to get used to the new mindset, and I hope it will only improve from here, to hopefully where I was, emotionally, when I worked at my job in NC.  I&#8217;m actively trying to put the pieces in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We sang &#8220;He Who Is Mighty&#8221; in church on Sunday.
