| I've decided to revise my resume. My resume was geared towards a new job that was full time and not what I'm looking for. I pruned it of words like opportunity for advancement. Instead I said I was looking for part time work as a technical or creative writer. I don't want a full time job now that I'm retired. I just want a bit of money to help keep us afloat and take the edge off our living expenses. I think I can do it, this is how I wish to work during my retirement years. Granted, there aren't very many places that give part time work to their technical people, but I just need one company that speaks my language. |

| I've decided it's better to die young than old. Working for a living is tough. Working for The Man can cause you untold suffering. It's better to go sooner than later, Being old is also untold suffering. Just watching my Dad suffer his arthritis and other ailments is causing me suffering for him. I am glad when he's able to handle the pain. I've asked Jesus to take us together and bring us to His Heavenly home. |

| I didn't get the job. It's just as well. I feel free from the responsibilities of this type of job. I have no idea why I applied. But it appealed to me at the time. My logical self wasn't attending. |

| I'll find out next week if I get this job I interviewed for. I don't much care if I don't get this job. I've been away from regulatory work for five years. It might be difficult to catch up and do a good job for the company. I believe this company excels in their work. And they'll have to retrain me to work independently. I don't know if they want to hold my hand for the interim before they hand me a responsibility. They go with timelines and metrics. I don't think I'll get this job now. |

| I had a job interview (2nd interview) yesterday. It went better than I thought it would. It was through Microsoft Teams, a videoconferencing software. The lady was good and asked good questions which i think I fielded as well as I could. She appreciated that I was a fiction writer and said she was going to make a note of me and my books. She referred to the science fiction book I wrote. The meeting ended cordially. She said I'll hear from my initial interviewer or someone else early next week. I hope this job is good. I hope they give me a job. I don't care how much they'll pay me. I only need an extra income to keep the house and the car paid, and us as a family fed good food. Right now we subsist on ramen noodles and frozen meals. We're lucky that we have food for the pets. I depend on My God and My Jesus to help me throughout my life. If it's God's Will that I get this job, then I believe He will help do a good job for this company. |

| I urge you to read my latest book, The Bridge. It's a romance with elements of murder and mayhem. It's set in Paris. The female protagonist, Agnes Dumont, is a French lab technician who meets and falls in love with an English scientist. It's available in Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com both online. |

We have a ton of snow in our driveway. We're waiting for the snow removal crew to take it and dump it somewhere else. There;s more snow coming, however, so I think they're waiting until that's done.
I've been chatting with Dad about going back to the Philippines. We have to have dual citizenship to buy property there. That's a lot of work. We'd have to go to Chicago to the Embassy there to finalize the paperwork and take the oath. Chicago is 2 hours away; We'll have to drive there with the dogs. I can't leave the dogs - they haven't been alone in the house. They'd destroy everything in the house if we left hem alone.

| I'm so chuffed. I sold one of my books yesterday; Someone in Australia wanted to read it. I'm grateful to God for this good news. |

| My puppy is somewhat picky with his kibble. He eats and picks at the kibble occasionally; It's my fault. I feed him table food when we have it. But not everything. So today when my puppy tapped at the kibble bowl, and came to me, I explained to him that that's all we had for him and his brother both, and he has to make do with it. He seemed to understand for he went back to eat from the kibble bowl. |

| There's another organization called Area IV. It's for low income, senior citizens. They help find housing for those in need. I called and left a message. I also sent them an email through their website. I won't hear from them for 48 hours or so they said. I looked at my budget and I have several essential bills that I need to keep going, but several other ones aren't essential but they are intended to build up my FICO score. I don't know anymore. |
