So working at the one year contract that will be up in May. We hope to finish packing and move in March so that the closing of the old house will happen in April or May. We've also started moving some of the stuff as we go up there, things we know we won't need between now and then. 

I also ended up taking on a side hustle that I had retrained in after my layoff. This is in addition to my current contract so more money. 

This leads to me deciding to claim a postion starting in the fall for what I retrained in. I'm in a bit of a shock because this wasn't something I expected to do but hopefully I can do it for a couple of years and then start phased retirement, which means working part time with prorated benefits. These next couple of years might be a challenge because of the commute (50 miles via highway) but hopefully I can work remote 2 days a week or so. 

Life is an adventure

Hey, does anyone ever hear from Laura anymore?
