I have been looking for work. I finally scored not only a job, but two jobs. One is with a major electronics store and the other is as a housekeeper for a local hotel. So excited, especially since the hotel is here on the beach so no driving involved. I start my main job tonight (training) and the housekeeping job Tuesday. Now to make sure that the first job is at night, which I requested, so I can do the housekeeping in the mornings. If not…well, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
My youngest daughter is moving closer to her work, which will save her a lot on fuel. She is also getting her own vehicle! To top it off, she is hoping to begin studying for her pharmacy technician exam. This daughter also changed jobs right before the Memphis flood. I am so grateful because she would be out of a job right now if she hadn’t taken the leap. The casinos are closed, and so many people are out of work. I am so sorry for those that have lost so much because of the flooding.
Spring is finally here at the beach. It is still very cool here. Sometimes still cold (coats can’t be put away just yet). Spring is obvious here in the small yards becoming green again and the trees and flowers blooming, but the main difference is the boardwalk coming back to life. Construction is going on everywhere here. The winterizing of everything is being undone, damage from the winter repaired and everything is being cleaned up. Exciting times ahead!
For a change, this winter ghost town is coming alive with music and laughter. We all need the change here. It can become so depressing enduring not just the endless snow we seemed to have this year, but the isolated feeling you get on the beach when you live here year-round. Color, new people and traffic. Oh yes, traffic is already building here on the beach. I won’t allow myself to complain because now this beach is not feeling so much like an island.
Yes, spring is finally here!
