A few things have happened since my last little autobiographical update, so I thought I'd toss another one out.
First, I was given a hefty raise at work. I seem to have convinced them that I have a wide and potentially useful collection of skills, and the owners decided to pay me more so I wouldn't look for another job.
So now I can afford to support myself again.
Once July gets here, I plan to get my own place, much closer to the job because this 50-mile round trip commute is aggravating and wasteful of both time and gasoline.
I used most of my first larger paycheck to get a physical (first in a couple of years). It was becoming a bit of an issue, because I'd been without medication for high blood pressure for about six months -- The prescription ran out, and I couldn't renew it without a new examination. -- and my pressure had been about 160/110 for the week before the exam. But now I have my medication again, and that's back to normal. I keep hoping that life will calm down enough that I won't need it, but I'm not holding my breath.
There's no other news of importance just now, but that seems like good progress for a couple of weeks.
