It's amazing what a table will do. Four legs and a surface. An invitation to sit and focus. Focus on the computer in front of me, tasks at hand, things to accomplish, even eating a meal. A laptop is just that, something to top your lap, but sinking into the couch with the tv ahead just doesn't inspire the same go get 'em attitude.

Since the last time I wrote we've been to Italy, said goodbye to a beautiful chapter of our life and friends who have become like family, been welcomed by friends and family we left behind in Colorado who are happy to have us back, and had countless conversations about "what's next".
Dan is training, training to move his body for 140.6 continuous miles this November, working hard, and seemingly enjoying his stay at home wife. Yup, he's still crazy, all these months later.
I've become quite the stay at home cat mom. My cats are well adjusted, social, and spoiled brats, as they should be. Dinners are cooked, rooms are cleaned, laundry is done. I lunch, I shop, I nest. I ponder what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. If only I could have a conversation with my 8 year-old self to see just what it was that inspired me back then. Lots of things inspire me now, but involve skills and experience I don't have to make me a viable candidate for payment. Shoot.
Maybe now my table, my computer, my music, candles, and focus can help me dig into more ideas of where to find a job. Someplace I can go everyday, talk to people, get paid! Weird when this becomes something that seems so impossible after more than 13 months of looking.
Ah well. In the meantime.... enjoying those Rockies:
