So, I've been away for a while. Took a new job in the Gateway City, and found out I'd taken on a bit more than I thought I could handle. It's eased up now, and I love the job. It's been good for an old gal like me to shake up her life, and gotten me closer to the things I want to do as my years wind down into sloooowww speed.
That's not to say that the job is anything like slow. Working as a tech in a major hospital system [seven local hospitals and all major], is anything but slow. Almost scared me off at first, since I was having a hard time handling the job. Anyone else with FMS knows how hard it can be to adjust to new stresses and new work. It's been good in the long run. So far I've dropped 60 pounds, and am more active and able than I've been since the mid-1990's.
The great things about St. Louis: Always something to do, the public libraries [esp for genealogy research], gluten-free food everywhere - even pizza, and really great water. Apparently the issues my ancestors had in St. Louis are mostly gone, no cholera, and drinking water is not muddy. It's actually very good. [I am so particular about my water.]
So new city, new me, and hopefully new inspiration for blogging. Today's is boring, but a promise of better things to come from me. New books to read... new ancestors to hunt down... and maybe a point or two about those great new places to eat!
Until we meet again...
A little hodge-podge of this and that. The cobwebs of an old gal's mind. Why Maggie O'Guin? The ancestor I most identified with and whose birthday I share, my great grandmother, and one I wish I'd had the opportunity to know. Topics will range from profound to silly, from serious to whatever.
