Time Zone
I've set this blog for Central Time zone, but it's still an hour off. It apparently doesn't recognize this ridiculous Daylight Savings time. It is now 9:07 a.m.
1st Blog Day
Well, elections are over and it didn't go well. From the highest elected official in the United States to our piddling little local government in San Jacinto county there have been changes as promised, but the mere word change does not necessarily mean to the good. My great boss lost his race for re-election, therefore I will most likely be without a job on January 1st. This really sucks. I love my job, plus there's the added benefit that there's absolutely no businesses out here in the woods except the county annex and a little mom 'n pop overpriced store and I'm only 3 mi. from work. It's possible that I could keep my job when the new guy comes in, but not too stinkin' likely.
So I'm covering my bases. I've already put in an application at Polk county in Livingston. It's about 35 mi. and 40 min. from home, so if I have a satellite guy or appliance repairman coming I can't just run home, take care of business, and run back to work. I'm gonna apply for 3 positions that interest me in Montgomery county in Conroe next week, if I can find someone to work for me. I have a lot of time built up that I have to take before the end of the year, but I can't just leave my office unmanned.
I've seriously considered moving to Mexico to get out of this county and country, but it worries me that I speak NO Spanish. If I felt that Mexico were a little safer, I would be gone in a flash. There's nothing holding me here except my house right now. I could sell my house and live well on the profit in Mexico. I never would have even considered moving out of my house before. I assumed I would die in this house just as Curtis did and that our kids would inherit it. Doesn't look like that's going to happen, with Shea being stuck in California on probation for another 3 yrs. and Paige doesn't want to live here because she thinks she's a princess that's going to live in a castle, so there's no sweet, loving kids around here to prevent me from moving to Timbuktu, never to return again.
Oh, well..... it'll all come out in the wash. It's 4 a.m. and I'm getting sleepy.
