I'm glad to see the end of February. It was a brutally cold month and we had snow and it was difficult to figure when to do errands because of the cold and the snow. I hope March will be kinder to us. Our gas bill was high too.
I filled out an application to the Energy Assistance Program. This is a program that our local senior organization is involved in. Hopefully, it will help ease the expenses of our energy bills. |

| I had a dream that I thought I could make into a story. The problem is that the characters in my dream were people in my past that I didn't particularly like. I need to write a story where I could like the characters. And the idea of it is fading. I might noodle on it sometime. I wrote it out as a draft. |

| I'm sitting here at the kitchen table while my Dad takes his breakfast. The pups are giving up on him to give them a scrap from his plate, so they turned to me and luckily my treats from Barkbox were still available. So I went and gave them a treat each. I'm grateful to Barkbox. They come every month for a nominal fee. They have a stuffed toy which is usually more than one. It's always two or more stuffed toys and three bags of treats. It's a life saver for dog lovers. |

| I mentioned to my Dad that a recruiter sent my resume to a company for a regulatory position, part time and remote. But my Dad said I don't need to look for a job. He said that I needed to rest my mind and enjoy the retirement years. He said we'll be fine as we are living a simple life. |

| 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. |
