Mylotter friends, I have an update on the Social Security situation. Well, my phone interview was this afternoon with an SS agent. I've waited a full half-hour or so for him to call. He wasn't on time. So I called SSA for a call...

For the past month, I've been hoping to come closer to the end of my search for cat two to adopt this winter. My main focus was to get an orange or buff cat like Mellow. The ones I've found at the shelter so far are bonded, or...

Five days from here, it would be my two year anniversary with Goodwill. I had hopefully planned to leave next summer at the one-and-a-half year mark. It didn't happen, though I had started my job search at the same time. Now, it's...
